CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION  
This chapter discusses the basic operating features of the 7400B Data  
Module and describes the external indicators and connectors.  
The data module provides an asynchronous data service link between a  
Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device and the following AT&T digital  
PBX equipment:  
DEFINITY™ Communications System Generic 1  
DEFINITY Communications System Generic 2  
System 75  
System 85  
Note:  
Unless a specific DTE device is intended, the words terminal  
device shall be used throughout this guide to represent any  
applicable DTE device, including a dumb terminal, a printer,  
a plotter, or a personal computer (PC) with an appropriate  
data communications software package.  
An EIA-232-D standard interface (formerly EIA recommended standard  
RS-232-C) connects the terminal device to the 7400B Data Module, and  
a standard Digital Communications Protocol (DCP) interface (using a  
type D8W modular telephone cord) connects the data module to the  
digital PBX.  
An internal DIP-switch option allows the 7400B Data Module to be set  
for use either with or without a telephone. In without-telephone mode,  
the data module supports data service only, but in with-telephone mode  
the data module provides simultaneous data and voice service (requires  
an associated AT&T 7400-series DCP digital voice terminal).  
Note: If a 7400-series voice terminal with data features is used  
with the 7400B Data Module, data service is provided by the  
7400B Data Module and the data features of the voice  
terminal cannot be used.  
The 7400B Data Module uses a subset of the industry-standard AT  
command set and supports transmission speeds of 300, 1200, 2400,  
4800, 9600, and 19,200 bps.  
Additional features of the 7400B Data Module, described in later  
chapters of this manual, include:  
non-volatile, read-write memory for storing two data options  
profiles and up to four telephone numbers  
automatic speed and parity adjustment

User’s Guide  
About the Terminal Device The 7400B Data Module operates with any asynchronous data terminal  
device that has an EIA-232-D (or RS-232-C) serial port connector. If  
you are using a PC as your terminal, you will need a suitable data  
communications software package.  
Also, you must set the appropriate configuration options before  
connecting the 7400B Data Module to a printer or plotter. To do this,  
connect a data terminal or PC to Port 1 of the data module, change the  
necessary configuration parameters, remove the data terminal or PC, and  
then connect the printer of plotter. The configuration parameters used  
for this type of operation are described in Chapter 4, "Operation and  
EIA-232-D cables and data communications software packages are  
described in the following paragraphs.  
Selecting an EIA-232-D  
Cable  
Select an EIA-232-D with a male connector at one end to mate with the  
Port 1 connector of the 7400B Data Module, and a connector of the  
appropriate "gender" at the other end to mate with the communications  
port of your terminal device.  
Note: Cables with the earlier RS-232-C designation will also work.  
The most common EIA-232-D cables are supplied with a male  
connector at both ends. If you have this type of cable and the EIA-232-  
D port on your terminal device is a male connector, you can use a cable  
adapter commonly referred to as a “gender changer”. Otherwise, obtain  
an EIA-232-D cable that has the appropriate gender connector at each  
end to fit your application needs.  
The purpose of data communications software is to allow your PC to  
Selecting Data  
Communications Software operate as an asynchronous data communications terminal. Of the many  
software packages available, all perform essentially the same functions,  
but often in significantly different ways.  
If you do not already have a communications software package, consult  
with an experienced user for advice on selecting software to suit your  
data communications needs. The following, though not required, are a  
few helpful features that you may wish to look for in the software you  
select:  
Terminal mode. Also called local mode or chat mode, this  
feature allows you to issue commands to the 7400B Data  
Module. The software that you select must have some form of  
terminal mode.  
Dialing directory. This feature allows you to store several  
frequently called numbers, often along with configuration of  
the data options needed for completing the connection.

of the more popular communications software packages with the 7400B  
Data Module.  
Selecting DCP Cords  
The 7400B Data Module is supplied with a 5-foot D8W cord. Use this,  
or obtain the appropriate length D8W telephone cord for DCP  
connection between the 7400B Data Module and the PBX wall jack. If  
you are using the with-telephone option, you will need a second D8W  
telephone cord to connect between the data module and your telephone  
or voice terminal.  
Selecting DIP-Switch  
Options  
Three hardware options may be selected by setting switches on an  
internal 8-position DIP switch (SW1). These options are described here,  
and procedures for setting the switches are provided in a later section  
With/Without Telephone Option (SW1-1)  
When this option is set for operation without an associated telephone  
(SW- 1 set to " WITHOUT PHONE"), the 7400B Data Module offers  
only data service between a terminal device and a remote system.  
Setting this option for operation with an associated voice terminal (SW-  
1 is set to “WITH PHONE”) enables simultaneous data and voice  
service over the same line from the PBX.  
When the 7400B Data Module is optioned for “WITH PHONE,” an  
AT&T 7400-series DCP digital voice terminal is connected to the data  
module only for its voice service features; data service is provided  
directly from the 7400B Data Module, and any data features that the  
voice terminal may offer cannot be used.  
Note:  
A change in the setting of this option becomes effective  
when the data module is powered on after being powered  
off. The setting of this option cannot be changed  
arbitrarily—it must agree with how the line is administered  
at the PBX. For information on how to administer the  
7400B Data Module at the PBX for use with or without a

User’s Guide  
Data Metering Option (SW1-5)  
When the data metering option is disabled (SW1-5 set to "OFF"), the  
transfer speed of the 7400B Data Module will adjust to match the  
transfer speed of the remote system. The C0NNECT xxxx message  
displayed when a connection is completed will always indicate the far  
end speed.  
When this option is enabled (SW1-5 set to "ON"), it allows the user to  
set-up a call to a remote end device that is running at a lower speed than  
the local data module. The CONNECT xxxx message will always  
indicate the speed of the local data transfer. The data module performs  
the speed conversion and uses the CTS lead to flow-control the user’s  
terminal if it is sending too much data too fast. During the data transfer,  
the DATA METERING LED indicates the state of the CTS lead.  
If you are using a PC with a data communications package,  
or a dedicated terminal that does not support CTS control,  
you cannot make file transfers with the data metering option  
enabled.  
Note:  
A change in the setting of this option becomes effective immediately  
when the data module is in the idle mode or as soon as it is returned to  
the idle mode. The data module is in idle mode any time that it is not in  
test mode or connected to an active data call.  
Make Busy on Local Loop Option (SW1-8)  
This option controls the make-busy feature of the 7400B Data Module.  
When the option is enabled (SW1-8 set to "ON"), the data module will  
busyout the DCP line when either the Local Loopback or Local  
Loopback/Self-Test mode is entered. The busyout condition is released  
when the test ends.  
Note: A change in the setting of this option becomes effective  
immediately when the data module is in the idle mode or as  
soon as it is returned to the idle mode. The data module is in  
idle mode any time that it is not connected to an active data  
call.

INITIAL SYSTEM CHECKS This section describes procedures for initially checking out your  
hardware and any required software. It is assumed at this point that your  
hardware and data communications software have been properly  
installed and are ready for use.  
Note:  
Data communications software is required only if you are  
using a PC as your terminal device. A dedicated data  
terminal does not need data communications software.  
Power-Up Self-Test  
When power is first applied to the 7400B Data Module, the unit  
performs a self-test to determine that it is in working order. The  
progression of the self-test is indicated by the sequential, left-to-right  
lighting of the 10 front-panel LEDs.  
If the self-test finds no problems, the LEDs labeled POWER/TEST and

IF YOU ARE USING A PC  
Review the documentation for your PC and data communications  
software. Be sure that you understand both well enough to get the  
software running and place your PC in terminal mode.  
Since there is such a diversity of functionality among the many  
packages available, refer to the user’s manual of the software package  
provides guidelines for using a few of the more popular packages with  
the 7400B Data Module.  
IF YOU ARE USING A  
DEDICATED TERMINAL  
To determine whether your terminal is communicating with the 7400B  
Data Module, type the following command line:  
AT [ Enter ]  
Note: The two characters of the “AT” command prefix must be  
typed as either both uppercase or both lowercase. That is,  
you can type either at or AT, but At or aT will not  
work.  
If everything is operating properly, the command should appear on the  
screen as you type it, and the 7400B Data Module should respond with  
getting these results.

CHAPTER 3: FIRST TIME USERS  
This chapter provides some basics on 7400B Data Module operation,  
describes how to use a few AT commands that are essential for most data  
communications operations, and then outlines a typical on-line session.  
The commands for the data module are referred to as AT  
commands because you must type the letters “AT” as the  
first characters on the line for most commands.  
Note:  
Except when the 7400B Data Module is in a test mode, it is always in  
one of two distinct operating states or modes: command mode and on-  
line or data mode.  
OPERATING MODES  
In command mode, the data module tries to interpret everything you  
type on your keyboard as a command. In on-line mode, the data module  
passes everything on as data.  
While in on-line mode, typing a specific character three times in quick  
succession (the factory-default escape sequence is 3 plus signs, or +++)  
causes the data module to go into command mode without disconnecting  
an active data call.  
The operating modes, the escape sequence, and several AT commands  
In this context, character format refers to the form a character may take  
locally, between the 7400B Data Module and your terminal device. The  
elements that make up character format are often referred to as  
communication parameters. Formats supported by the 7400B Data  
Module are shown in Table 3-1.

All of these parameters may be changed on the local terminal device as  
needed. The 7400B Data Module will adjust to match the speed and  
parity of the local terminal device.  
If you connect to a remote system and your screen shows a series of  
nonsense characters (also referred to as "garbage"), chances are that you  
need to adjust speed or parity.

ESSENTIAL AT  
COMMANDS  
This section provides a basic description of the most commonly used  
AT commands. These few commands are all you will need for

Note:  
If you are using a PC with software that permits command or  
script files, you may create files to perform automatic log in  
for devices that you plan to communicate with frequently.  
In this case, the commands used are typically not direct AT  
commands, but function commands defined by the software  
package. For more information on PC software, refer to

AT Command  
The command prefix that must be typed as the first two letters of  
all AT commands except +++ and A/. This prefix gets the  
AT  
AT  
tention of the data module.  
The characters of the AT prefix must both be typed in  
Note:  
either uppercase or lowercase letters (AT or at will  
work, but At or aT will not). Typing a space between  
the AT prefix and the next command on the line is  
optional, but do not separate the two letters “AT” with  
a space.  
The Dial command. This command follows the AT and precedes  
the number that you wish your data module to dial. For example:  
atd71204 [ Enter ]  
D
Note:  
Other commands may precede the D command, but  
any characters following it will be interpreted as part  
of the number that is to be dialed.  
The redo or Again command. This is one of the two commands  
that does not require the AT prefix. To repeat the previous  
command line exactly, type A/ without pressing [ Enter ].

commands that does not require the AT prefix. Once  
you have connected to the remote device, your data  
module assumes the on-line mode of operation. If you  
need to return to the command mode, leave the keyboard  
idle for at least one second, and then type +++ without  
pressing [ Enter ]. Within a few seconds, the data module  
will respond with OK, signifying that it has entered the  
command mode and is waiting for you to type a  
command.  
Whether OK is returned or not depends on the setting of  
certain parameters. If the factory-default settings are in  
effect, OK should be returned.  
O
The return to On-line command. After using the +++  
escape sequence to enter command mode, you can type  
ato and press [ Enter ] to return to on-line mode.  
Note:  
This command will not work if you have  
disconnected the data call.  
H
The hang up or disconnect command. After using the  
+++ escape sequence to enter command mode, you can  
type ath and press [ Enter ] to disconnect the data call.  
The return to Factory-default settings command. If an  
experimental change of your data module settings  
produces unexpected results — and you are not sure how

This command line is a command sequence that sets up the 7400B Data  
Module to automatically answer incoming calls. The commands set the  
following parameters:  
AT is the required command prefix,  
e1 causes characters entered from the keyboard to be echoed to the  
screen while in command mode  
&d2 causes the data module to hang up the call when the local  
terminal turns off DTR  
s0=5 causes the data module to enter automatic answer mode and  
answer incoming calls on the fifth ring.  
This section outlines how to perform a simple on-line session using the  
AT commands described in this chapter. For more information about all  
A SAMPLE ON-LINE  
SESSION  
The following is a sample data call to a fictitious bulletin board service.  
If you know the number of a "real" bulletin board service, you might try  
an actual log on by using that number and following the suggestions in  
this session.  
Starting the Session  
at d 9-555-7575 [ Enter ]  
CONNECT 1200  
The D command is used to dial the number of the bulletin board. Since  
the connection was made successfully, the data module responded with  
a message that says the remote end connected at 1200 bps.  
The remote end may do nothing until you press a particular key a few  
times, usually [ Enter ]. Typical of many data communications application  
programs, this sometimes required input lets the remote end determine  
whether you have connected with the correct communications  
parameters in effect.  
If the response from the remote end is unintelligible “garbage,” chances  
are that the speed or parity bit selection is incorrect. In this case,  
assuming that your terminal device allows, the parameters may be  
corrected without disconnecting the call. Otherwise, you must  
disconnect, correct the parameters, and then try the call again.

Another possible problem is that the remote end response contains  
normal words mixed in with strange characters, many of which are left  
brackets ([). This usually indicates that the remote device is sending  
ANSI display control sequences, and your terminal does not recognize  
them (ANSI stands for American National Standards Institute).  
On a PC, this can generally be remedied by first disconnecting the call,  
editing the PC’s CONFIG.SYS file to include the line  
DEVICE=ANSI.SYS  
rebooting the PC, and then trying the call again. (For a log off  
procedure, see the alternative method under “Disconnecting a Data  
Call,” below.)  
Note: If the terminal device is not a PC, or the suggested remedy  
does not seem to solve the problem, and then you will need  
to consult the documentation for your dedicated terminal, or  
for your PC and any software involved.  
Disconnecting a Data Call  
Most remote systems will have a command or menu selection for  
logging off. When you select the appropriate means, the remote system  
will usually disconnect or hang up. The PBX will disconnect from the  
call and, after a moment, the data module will send the following  
message to your display:  
NO CARRIER  
Alternatively, you can use the following log off procedure:  
Selection: +++  
OK  
The prompt Selection: is simply a representation of how the remote  
system might ask you for your next command or menu selection. Type  
the escape sequence (default is +++) but do not press [ Enter ].  
When the data module responds with OK, type the command line:  
ath [ Enter ]  
The PBX will disconnect from the remote end device, and the 7400B  
will send the OK message to the terminal display.

CHAPTER 4: OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION  
This chapter describes how to change, store, and recall configuration  
parameters, outlines how to create and save custom configuration  
profiles, and discusses more advanced command usage with example  
command lines.  
Values for configuration parameters are selected by using AT  
commands to change values contained in the S-registers. The S-  
registers are a set of 8-bit memory locations that the data module  
reserves for storage of configuration settings. For a description of AT  
commands and S-registers used by the 7400B data module, refer to  
CONFIGURATION  
PARAMETERS  
Parameter Storage and  
Retrieval  
Configuration parameter values include the option values selected by  
AT commands that require option values, and the values stored in the  
S-registers. A complete set of configuration parameter values is called a  
profile. The 7400B Data Module has four configuration profiles at any  
given time, one active, two stored, and one that permanently contains  
the factory-default values.  
Unsaved changes to configuration parameters remain in effect until they  
are changed again, or until the data module is disconnected from the AC  
power source. Before making or storing any changes, or to check  
changes that you have made, you can issue an AT command to view the  
values that are currently in the active profile and the two stored profiles.  
The active profile contains the parameter values that are currently in  
effect. All parameter values can be changed, and most changes can be  
stored to one of the two profile storage locations by issuing an AT  
command. Another AT command recalls values from one of the two  
stored profiles into the active profile.  
Factory-default parameter values are a selection of values that are  
appropriate for a wide number of applications. These values are stored  
permanently in ROM and you can issue an AT command to recall them  
into the active profile at any time.  
Commands to view, store, and recall configuration parameters are

In command mode, the 7400B Data Module looks at everything you  
type on your keyboard. When you type in something that the data  
module recognizes as a valid command with a valid parameter (if  
required), it will execute the action requested. A valid command with  
an invalid parameter will produce the ERROR result code, and an invalid  
command is simply ignored.  
In on-line mode, everything you type is passed as data without  
interpretation by the 7400B Data Module, except the escape sequence.  
The escape sequence, described in later paragraphs, provides a way of  
switching the data module back to command mode without  
disconnecting a data call.  
ISSUING COMMANDS  
Command Line Prefix  
The following paragraphs describe the elements of a command line and  
how the 7400B Data Module responds to a command line when it is  
issued.  
All commands issued to the 7400B Data Module, except the escape  
sequence and the repeat command, must begin with the letters “AT”.  
This is called the command line prefix and must be entered as either  
both uppercase or both lowercase letters (that is, at and AT will work,  
but aT or At will not).  
The AT prefix (also known as the ATtention command) alerts the data  
module to expect one or more commands to follow. Each time the AT  
prefix is sent, the data module adjusts its speed and parity to match your  
local terminal.  
Command Buffer  
As you type in a command, each character is saved in a 40-character  
buffer. The AT prefix, spaces, and the [ Enter ] at the end of the command  
line are not saved and do not add to the character count. If you try to  
type more than 40 countable characters on one line, the result code  
ERROR will be displayed on your terminal screen, and the command  
line will be ignored.  
Command Line Set Up  
A command line begins with the AT prefix, includes one or more  
commands, and finishes with a line termination, usually issued by  
pressing the [ Enter ] key. The factory-default line termination character  
is an ASCII carriage return, represented by the decimal number 013  
stored in S-register S03.

Caution:  
If you make an error while typing a command line, you can send the  
backspace character, usually issued by pressing the [ Backspace ] key, as  
often as needed to delete the error. However, as soon as you enter the  
AT prefix, the data module immediately reads it and sets up for a  
command to follow. Hence, you cannot delete the AT prefix once it is  
typed.  
The factory-default backspace character is an ASCII backspace,  
represented by the decimal number 008 which is stored in S-register  
S05.

Caution:

commands. If the data module finds a character that is not a valid  
command, it will ignore the erroneous character and any remaining  
characters on the command line; if it finds an incorrect parameter for a  
valid command, the data module will issue the ERROR result code and  
ignore any remaining characters.

FROM DATA MODE TO  
COMMAND MODE AND  
BACK  
A special escape sequence can be typed at any time during a data call to  
return temporarily to command mode. Your call does not disconnect, but  
data is not exchanged. Once you have “escaped” to command mode,  
the data module returns OK to acknowledge that it has entered command  
At this point, you can issue commands to the data module. As long as  
the data call has not been disconnected, you can use the O command to  
return to on-line mode.  
One other condition will cause the data module to switch from data  
mode to command mode. If the PBX senses that the remote device has  
disconnected, it will disconnect the call to the data module. The data  
module will turn off the CD, OH, and DATA LEDs (see note), display a  
result code message on your terminal screen (such as NO CARRIER),  
and then return to command mode.  
The escape sequence and all other commands discussed in this section  
The dial command is issued to the 7400B Data Module in the form  
DIALING A NUMBER  
atd  
nnn...n, where nnn...n represents the number you wish to dial. The  
command line can hold up to 40 characters, so you can usually precede  
the D command with other commands on the same line, if you wish.  
Note: Every character following the D command is regarded as  
part of the number to be dialed and is sent to the PBX;  
hence, the D command must be the last command in the  
command line.

In the example, the command will cause the data module to go off hook,  
dial the number, and then wait the period of time specified in S-register  
S7 for the call to be completed.  
If the call is not completed, the data module will disconnect and send  
the result code NO CARRIER to your display screen. When a call is  
successfully completed, the data module will send the result code  
CONNECT nnnn to your screen, where nnnn represents the speed of  
the 7400B Data Module, (for example, 1200).

lights when the automatic feature is turned on.  
REMOTE SITE USE  
The 7400B Data Module can be used at a remote site as a dedicated  
service device to answer incoming data calls, send data to a remote end  
device, and then hang up. For example, you may wish to provide access  
to a printer from a remote site.  
The following is a typical command line you might use for setting up  
this operation (spaces are used here for readability, but are not required):  
at &c1 &d2 q1 s0=1 &w0 &y0 [ Enter ]  
Following the at prefix, the commands in the example produce the  
following results:  
&C1 sets the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) circuit of the data module  
to operate according to the EIA standard.  
&D2 sets the data module to go on hook when an on-to-off transition  
is detected on the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) input, disconnecting  
the call  
Q1 turns off the result codes that would be the normal responses of  
the data module to commands that it receives.  
S0=1 turns on the automatic answer feature and causes the data  
module to answer an incoming data call on the first ring.  
&W0 causes the current configuration to be stored in data profile  
storage location 0.  
&Y0 selects the configuration stored in data profile storage location  
0 to become the current configuration each time the data module is  
powered on  
of each command used in this section.  
RESET AND  
Two commands are available for recovering from various data  
CONFIGURATION RECALL communications problems. You can reset the 7400B Data Module and  
recall one of two stored data profiles as the current configuration. The  
form for this command is as follows:  
n
[ Enter ]  
atz  
where n is the number 0 or 1, representing the data profile to be recalled.

as follows:  
Label  
Description  
The command is shown as it should be typed. The command may be typed in  
uppercase or lowercase. Spaces may be typed between multiple commands on  
the same command line for readability, but the spaces are ignored by the 7400B  
Data Module.  
Command:  
Function:  
Type:  
A brief, functional description of the command is provided here.  
Type may be immediate or configuration. An immediate command causes the  
data module to perform an action as soon as the command is sent (for example,  
go off-hook or dial a number). A configuration command modifies a  
configuration parameter during the current session.  
Arguments:  
S-Register:  
Many commands accept or require a numerical argument. Whether an  
argument is required and the range of acceptable values for the argument is  
shown here.  
The S-registers consist of 28 1-byte memory locations in the data module,  
designated as S0 through S27. The S-registers hold values for defining the  
current configuration of the data module. Some commands modify a specific  
S-register, and some commands perform an action based on the current value  
stored in an S-register. Whether an S-register is modified or read by the current  
command is explained here.

+++  
The purpose of the +++ command is to provide a way to switch the  
data module from on-line or data mode to command mode without  
disconnecting a data call that is in progress. As long as the call is not  
disconnected, you can return to the on-line mode with the O  
command.  
This is one of the two commands that does not require the AT prefix  
(A/ is the other one), and it is never followed by pressing [ Enter ]. The  
value in S12 determines how long your keyboard should remain idle  
before entering the escape sequence, as well as the maximum  
allowable time between entering each character of the sequence. The  
character used in the escape sequence is determined by the value in S2  
(default is ASCII 43, the plus sign).

D
Command:  
Function:  
Type:  
Dial a telephone number.  
immediate  
Arguments:  
The D command requires an ASCII character string, which is sent by  
the data module to the PBX. The string may include any ASCII  
character, with the following restrictions:  
If the letters “t” or “p” (uppercase or lowercase) are typed as the  
first character following the D command, the data module will  
delete either character.  
For example, if you want your dial string to be the mnemonic  
“TEXAS,” you must type the “T” twice (the first “t” may be  
uppercase or lowercase), producing the command line:  
atdtTEXAS [ Enter ]  
The “t” following the D command will be discarded and the  
string “TEXAS” will be sent to the PBX as a dial mnemonic (the  
PBX must be administered to recognize this mnemonic as the  
representation of a number to be dialed).  
The PBX may interpret certain non-alphanumeric characters as  
commands and perform an unexpected action, if you did not  
intend to send the command to the PBX. Consult the  
documentation for your PBX to determine which characters may  
be interpreted as commands.  
=n, where n may be a number  
The string (or AT command) s  
from 0 through 3, will cause the data module to send the  
contents of its respective telephone number storage location to  
the PBX as the telephone number. For details on how to use this

User’s Guide  
APPENDIX B: S-REGISTERS  
This appendix contains an explanation of each S-register used by the  
7400B Data Module. An S-register is an 8-bit location in non-volatile  
memory that is used for storing the value of one or more configuration  
parameters. When the data module is first powered on, the values that  
were last stored in the S-registers are the values in effect until AT  
commands are issued to change them.  
You can check the current value stored in all S-registers with the &V  
look at the contents on just one register, use the command Smm?,  
where mm is the number of the S-register.  
To change the value in any one S-register directly, use the command  
S
mm=nnn, where mm is the number of the S-register and nnn is the  
number you wish to place in the register. The following dialog  
illustrates the use of the S command to read and change the value  
contained in an S-register:  
ats18? [ Enter ]  
055  
OK  
ats18=120 [ Enter ]  
OK  
The first command request the value stored in register S18. The data  
module returns the value 055, followed by OK. The next command  
changes the value in register S18 to 120, and the data responds with OK.  
You could enter the first command a second time to verify that the value  
was changed correctly.  
More information is provided in the following definitions of the labels  
used in the S-register descriptions.

Description  
Label  
The S-register is identified following this label. Note that the names  
for S-registers 1 through 9 may be typed as two-digit numbers with  
leading zeros, if desired, for readability (e.g., S01 is equivalent to S1).  
Register:  
The purpose and use for the S-register is explained following this  
label.  
Description:  
The range of values that may be assigned to the register is explained  
following this label. The units for the value may be as follows:  
Range of  
Values:  
decimal  
—a one- to three-digit decimal number. Decimal numbers  
are typically used to represent a count, seconds, or fractions of a  
second.  
ASCII  
—a one- to three-digit decimal number that represents the  
hexadecimal  
—a two-digit hexadecimal number used to represent  
the contents of a bit-mapped S-register. Bit-mapped S-registers are  
not usually set by entering a complete value for the register, but are  
set one or more bits at a time by various AT commands.  
Hexadecimal digits include the decimal digits 0 through 9, and the  
letters A through F.  
Notes:  
1. A value typed as a decimal or ASCII argument  
to a command may be entered as a one, two, or  
three digit number, as required, but will always  
be displayed as a three digit number (for  
example, you type the command ATS0=3 to set  
automatic answer feature to answer an incoming  
call on the third ring, and then type the AT&V  
command to verify the value, which is displayed  
as S00:003).  
2. The &V command, which displays the contents  
of all S-registers, presents the contents of bit-  
mapped registers as two hexadecimal digits  
followed by an uppercase letter H (for example,  
assuming that S-register S14 contains the value  
AA hexadecimal, the AT&V command displays  
S14:AAH).

This S-register is used to store the status of bit-mapped options as  
follows:  
Description:  
bit 0 — allow remote loop request from remote system; 0 = disabled,  
1 = enabled (default = 1, see &T command)  
bits 1, 2, and 3 — local communications speed (see comment 1)  
0 = 300 bps  
1 = not used  
2 = 1200 bps  
3 = 2400 bps (factory-set default)  
4 = 4800 bps  
5 = 9600 bps  
6 = 19200 bps  
7 = not used  
bits 4 and 5 — local parity setting; 0 = even, 1 = space, 2 = odd, and  
3 = mark/none (default = 0)  
bit 6 and 7 — not used (see comment 2)  
Value may be 00 to FF hexadecimal; factory-default settings produce a  
value of 07 hexadecimal (see comment 3).  
Range of  
Values:  
yes  
Storable:  
Comments:  
1.  
Hayes compatible modems use only bits 0, 1 and 2 for speeds up  
to 2400 bps. The 7400B Data Module uses bit 3 to support  
speeds above 2400 bps.  
2.  
Bits 6 and 7 are set by the appropriate command, but there will  
be no other effect.

User’s Guide  
GLOSSARY  
ANSI display protocol. A standard set of escape sequences, established  
by ANSI (the American National Standards Institute), used by many  
display terminal devices to transmit or receive display control functions,  
such as cursor movement and color or graphics configuration  
parameters.  
Asynchronous data communications. A method of communicating  
data in which each “character” (a 7 or 8 bit data word) is sent or  
received separately at a selectable data transfer rate, and is framed by  
extra bits preceding and following the character. Various error-  
checking methods use the total bit-count to determine whether the  
character received at one end of the data path is the same as the one sent  
at the other end. Also called asynchronous mode, this method, as  
opposed to synchronous mode, does not use a clock signal to meter data.  
(Since the 7400B Data Module operates only in asynchronous mode,  
synchronous mode is not defined in this glossary.) See also data  
AT command set. A de facto industry-standard set of commands used  
for configuration and operation of DCE devices or modems. The AT  
(Attention) command set originated with Hayes Microcomputer  
Products, Inc. The AT&T 7400B Data Module uses a subset of the full  
AT command set.  
Command files. Files created for or by data communications software  
running on a PC that can be used to execute a sequence of commands to  
complete a task, such as performing an automatic log in to a specific  
remote device. Also called script files.  
Command line. A string of one or more valid and compatible AT  
commands typed on one line with any applicable arguments. Most  
command lines begin with the AT prefix and end with a carriage return  
(issued by pressing [ Enter ]).  
Command mode. An operating mode in which the 7400B Data Module  
looks at all characters coming from its associated terminal device and  
attempts to interpret them as commands. See also on-line mode.  
Communications parameters. See data options.  
Configuration profiles. See option profiles.  
Data Communications Equipment. (DCE, also Data Circuit-  
terminating Equipment) The equipment that provides the functions  
required to establish, maintain and terminate a data communications  
connection. The DCE also provides any required signal conversion for  
communication between the data terminal equipment (DTE) and the  
telephone line or data circuit.

Data metering. A selectable feature of the 7400B Data Module that  
allows the device and its associated terminal to operate at a higher speed  
than the remote system to which it is connected.  
Data mode. See on-line mode.  
Data options. For asynchronous data communications, these  
parameters include data transfer speed (expressed in bits/second or bps,  
and sometimes called baud rate), parity, data word size (or data bits),  
and stop bits. Generally, these parameters must be set to match at both  
ends of the communication line. Except when the data metering option  
is enabled, the 7400B data module attempts to adjust to match the speed  
of the remote device. Also called communications parameters. See also  
Data Terminal Equipment. (DTE) A device that sends and/or receives  
data over a communication line via a DCE. Examples of DTE devices  
are a display terminal, a PC running appropriate data communications  
software, or a printer or plotter.  
DCP. See Digital Communications Protocol.  
Dial modifier. Any character that may be inserted in a command line  
following the D (dial) command. See D command in Appendix A, "AT  
Command Set," for a description of valid dial modifiers.  
Digital Communications Protocol (DCP). A proprietary digital  
protocol used by AT&T PBX equipment to communicate with AT&T  
voice terminals and data modules. DCP supports simultaneous voice  
and data services over the same line.  
DTE. See Data Terminal Equipment.  
D8W. A standard modular telephone cord used to connect DCP devices  
to a PBX wall jack.  
EIA-232-D. A US industry standard interface for digital data  
communications equipment, established by EIA (the Electronics  
Institute of America). The standard defines the cabling, connectors, and  
lead signal assignments used in the interface. Formerly referred to as  
the EIA Recommended Standard RS-232-C.  
Hayes compatible. Of a DCE device, using the AT command set and  
performing in close compliance with the configuration and operating  
standards established by Hayes Microcomputer Products, Inc. See also  
Idle mode. An operational mode in which the 7400B Data Module is  
onhook waiting either for an incoming call or to originate a call.

Linked mode. A DIP-switch selected operating mode in which the  
7400B Data Module supports both data and voice services.  
On-line mode. An operating mode in which the 7400B Data Module  
transmits all characters coming from its associated terminal device and  
does not attempt to interpret them as commands. Also called data mode.  
Script files. See command files.  
Standalone mode. A DIP-switch selected operating mode in which the  
7400B Data Module supports only data services.  
Terminal mode. Of data communications software, the operating mode  
of the software in which your PC is emulating a data terminal. In this  
operating mode, you may be communicating with either the data module  
or a remote device, such as a host computer. See also standalone mode  
and on-line mode.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to  
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:  
Read and understand all instructions.  
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.  
This product can be hazardous if immersed in water. To avoid the possibility of electric  
shock, do not use when you are wet. If you accidentally drop it into water, do not retrieve it  
until you have first unplugged the line cord from the modular wall jack. Do not plug the  
telephone back in until it has dried thoroughly.  
Avoid using the telephone (other than a cordless type) during electrical storms in your  
immediate area. There is a remote risk of electric shock from the lightning. Urgent calls  
should be brief. Even though your telephone company may be using protective measures to  
limit electrical surges from entering your building, absolute protection from lightning is  
impossible.  
If you suspect a gas leak, report it immediately, but use a telephone away from the area in  
question. The telephone’s electrical contacts could generate a tiny spark. While unlikely, it  
is possible that this spark could ignite heavy concentrations of gas.  
Never push objects of any kind into this telephone through housing slots as they may touch  
hazardous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of electric shock. Never  
spill liquid of any kind on the telephone.  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. There are no user  
serviceable parts inside. Opening or removing covers may expose you to hazardous voltages.  
Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the telephone is subsequently used.  
Disconnect the cords on this product before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol  
cleaner. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  
Slots and openings in the housing and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation to  
protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The opening  
should never be blocked by placing the product on a sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This  
product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should  
not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.  
This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking  
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply being used, contact a qualified service  
person.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord  
will be abused by people walking on it.  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or  
electric shock.  
Disconnect the cords on this product and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under  
the following conditions:  
A.  
B.  
C.  
D.  
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
If liquid has been spilled into the product.  
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.  
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because  
improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require  
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.  
E.  
F.  
If the product has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.  
If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION  
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING  
When this product is located in a separate building from the telephone communications system, a  
line current protector MUST be installed at the entry/exit points of ALL buildings through which  
the line passes.  
The following are the ONLY acceptable devices for use in this application:  
AT&T 4-type procetors  
ITW LINX™ LP-type protectors  
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.  
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet  
locations.  
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been  
disconnected at the network interface.  
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.  
WARNING  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
EQUIPMENT MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED  
Your AT&T equipment requires a properly grounded 3-prong AC power receptacle for safe  
operation. Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the AT&T power cord. Do not  
use 2 wire extension cords or adapters to defeat the safety features of your equipment. If you  
have a 2-prong receptacle, it is very important to have it replaced with a 3-prong receptacle,  
installed by a qualified electrician.  
Before equipment installation, a qualified technician should use an outlet tester or voltmeter to  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
The voltage measured from Phase to Neutral should be 110 to 125 VAC.  
The voltage measured from Phase to Ground should be 110 to 125 VAC.  
The voltage measured from Neutral to Ground should be less than 1 VAC.  
If the receptacle is not a properly grounded 3-prong type, stop the installation. Installation can  
only be completed after a qualified electrician corrects the problem.
