Some commands may output result information on lines following the command, but the output will 
always terminate with either the OK sequence (introduced in the previous section) or the ERROR 
sequence (ERROR<CR><LF>). 

Some commands may have different results depending on the number of parameters. In general, a 
command that sets a parameter(s) can read back its values by issuing the command with no parameters. 

To get on-line help with a command, enter the command with a question mark at the end. 

To see a list of all commands, use the HELP command.

Configuration Commands 

The following commands are standard Raveon commands implemented by the modem. 

Command

 

Command Description

 

Parameters

 

Factory

 

Default 

 

EXIT 

Exit command mode, do not open the link connection.  

 

 

ATDT 

Exit command mode and open link. A parameter after the 

ATDT command will be interpreted as the link hostname to 
use. If there is no parameter, the default host is used, as set 
by the ACHN command.  

 

 

ACCN 

Set/read the connect string.  1-16 characters.  Set it to X to 
have the device pass the carrier’s connect string through.   

 

CONNECT 

ACDN 

Set/read the no-connect string.  1-16 characters.  Set it to X 
to have the device pass the carrier’s connect string through.   

 

DISCONNECT 

ACEN 

Set/read the disconnect string.  1-16 characters.  Set it to X 
to have the device pass the carrier’s connect string through.   

 

EOF 

ATAK

 

Enable/Disable ARQ 

– When ARQ is enabled, this modem 

will automatically send an ACK packet back to a modem that 
sends it data.  0=off, 1=on.  

Range: 0 – 1  

0 (no AKCs sent) 

ATAT

 

Silence AFTER Sequence 

- Sets period of silence after the 

command sequence characters in mS.  

Range:0 – 1000 
(mS)  

500  

ATBD 

Baud Rate 

– Sets serial com port baud rate (bps).  Over-the-

air (throughput) baud rate is set with ATR2 command.  
If a PC’s serial baud rate is set higher than the fixed over-the-
air baud rate of the module, hardware handshaking may be 
required.  

Range: 0 

– 7  

0 = 1200     5= 38400 
1 = 2400     6=57600 
2 = 4800     7=115200 
3 = 9600  
4 = 19200  

ATBT

 

Silence BEFORE Sequence 

– Sets period of silence before 

the command sequence character in mS.  

Range: 0-1000  
mS 

500  

ATBW 

Set/Read IF Bandwidth -  

Sets the IF bandwidth to narrow 

(N) or wide (W).  Narrow is for 12.5kHz channels, and wide is 

for 25 or 30kHz spaced channels.  This command is only 
used on the VHF version of the product. The UHF does not 
support w
