SUPRA's DISCLAIMER:
The following information has been taken from Rockwell's RC144AC
manual. It has not been taken from the CCITT Class 2 documentation,
which is copyrighted by the CCITT. This information is provided for
educational purposes only. To fully understand this information
requires a through knowledge of the T.4 fax image and the T.30 fax
session protocol standards. Due to the nature of this information,
Supra's engineers and technical support can not and will not provide any
help or support on this information. While a majority of this
information is correct, neither Supra nor Rockwell implies or warranties
that the SupraFaxModem will work exactly as documented here. This
information is based on an early draft of Class 2, which has undergone
further revisions and changes by the CCITT TR29.2 committee. We
STRONGLY urge anyone attempting to develop fax software to get the
required documentation from Global Engineering or the TIA.
SHORT HISTORY OF CLASS 1 AND 2
In 1988 the CCITT TR29.2 committee accepted the Class 1 standard for
communication between fax software and fax modems. The committee also
voted on, but did not accept for various technical reasons, the Class 2
standard. A year later, they had slightly revised the standard but
again did not accept it. Software and hardware manufactures decided to
unofficially adopt this standard until the TR29.2 committee could
develop an acceptable standard. Since so many companies have used the
unoffical standard, the TR29.2 committee has designated that when the
standard is offically adopted it will be known as Class 2.0. Over the
last year or so, the TR29.2 committee has voted on several revisions to
the Class 2 standard. Their last vote was early May '92. A no vote for
technical reasons was entered. The TR29.2 committee is now reviewing
the technical issues that were raised. At this time, Supra has not
heard of a projected date for the next ballot.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASS 1 AND 2
Class 1 fax software handles all of the T.4 fax image and T.30 session
protocol information and timming. Thus, the ability to communicate
properly with various fax machines is more a function of the software
than the fax modem. Class 2 fax software generates a T.4 fax page
image and sends it to the fax modem a page at a time. The fax modem
then handles the T.30 session protocol information and timming. This
relieves the computer's cpu from some work. The ability to communicate
properly with various fax machines is more a function of the fax modem
than the software. However, to further complicate matters, class 2 fax
software can issue Class 1 commands and take over some of the duties of
the Class 2 fax modem.
When customers have a problem communicating correctly with a fax
machine/modem, it can be very difficult to determine which is at fault,
the software or the hardware. Supra has collected numerous Class 1 and
2 fax software for a variety of different computers. When we receive a
report of a problem, we use these programs to determine if it is a
software or hardware problem. If it is a hardware problem, we notify
Rockwell, otherwise we notify the software company.
BUG REPORTS
Supra is dedicated to making the best product for the best price. If
you feel that you have found a bug, please fax or send a letter to the
attention of:
SUPRA V32/BIS FAX BUG
Please fully describe the 'bug' (specific steps to generate it, phone
numbers to call, make and model of fax/modem, rev of our ROM (from I3
command) ), why you believe that it is a bug, what specific section of
Class 2 applies to this bug and how you would like the bug to be fixed.
Please remember that there are issues that have not been addressed or
settled by the TR29.2 committee in the Class 2 specifications. (i.e. how
the DCD and DTR lines are handled while in fax mode.)
WHERE TO GET OFFICIAL FAX DOCUMENTATION

which have developed Class 2 fax software either sit on the TR29.2
committee or know someone who does. It may be possible to receive the
documentation from the TIA if you present a credible proposal. Supra
has no knowledge of what this proposal should consist of or who you need
to talk to.
7.1 COMMAND SYNTAX AND GUIDELINES
7.1.1 DTE COMMANDS
The ISO 646 character set (T.50 International Alphabet 5, American
Standard Code for Information Interchange) is used for the issuance of
commands and responses. Only the low-order 7 bits of each character are
used for commands or parameters; the high order bit is ignored. Upper
case characters are equivalent to lower case characters.
For Phase C data transmission or reception, all 8 bits are needed.
DTE COMMAND LINES
A command line is a string of characters sent from a DTE to the DCE
while the DCE is in a command state. Command lines have a prefix, a
body, and a terminator. The prefix consists of the ASCII characters
'AT' (065, 084) or 'at' (097, 116). The body is a string of commands
restricted to printable ASCII characters, (032-126). Space characters
(ASCII 032) and control characters other than CR (013) and BS (010) in
the command string are ignored. The default terminator is the ASCII
character. Characters that precede the AT prefix are ignored.
BSIC COMMAND SYNTAX
Characters within the command line are parsed as commands with
associated parameter values. The basic commands consist of single ASCII
characters, or single characters preceded by a prefix character (e.g.,
'&'), followed by a decimal parameter.
Missing decimal parameters are evaluated as 0.
EXTENDED COMMAND SYNTAX
The facsimile commands use extended syntax. They are preceded by the
'+F' characters, and they are terminated by the semicolon ';' character
(059) or by the that terminated the command line.
AT+FAA=0 ;+FCR 1
This command instructs the DCE to answer automatically a data or fax
call and also enables reception.
AT+FCLASS=0 for data mode
AT+FCLASS=1 for Service Class 1 Fax
AT+FCLASS=2 for Service Class 2 Fax
In Class 2, the DCE makes and terminates calls, manages the
communication session and negotiates (T.30 protocol) and transports the
image date to DTE. The T.4 protocol management of image data, etc. is
done by DTE.
The response to
AT+FCLASS=0 in Data Mode
or
AT+FCLASS=2 in Service Class 2 Fax
is
OK
The service class may be set by the DTE from the choices available using
the '+FCLASS=' command.
GENERAL RULES
1. +Fnnn commands must be entered completely otherwise an
ERROR response is sent.
2. All response messages are preceded and followed by.
Multiple response commands, e.g., +FDIS:+FCSI: and +FDCS, will
therefore appear to a have a blank line between them.
3. Fax Class 2 commands can be separated by the ";" character. The ";"
can be omitted if desired. Note that non-data commands cannot be
separated by ";" which is allowed as a dial modifier.
4. All class 2 commands are assumed to be the final command on a
command line. Additional characters will be ignored.
5. An ERROR message will be generated if any of the following
conditions:
a. A class 1 command is received while in Class 2.
b. A Class 2 command is received while in Class 1.
c. A Class 1 or Class 2 action command is received while in data
modem mode
d. A Class 2 read-only parameter is given the "=" form of a +F
command (e.g., AT+FAXERR=5).
e. A class 2 action command is given the inappropriate "=" or
"=?" (e.g., AT+FDR=?).
7.1.2 SERIAL PORT SPEED AND FLOW CONTROL
During fax mode, the DTE-DCE port speed is 19200 bps.
The DCE provides a speed buffer of 1024 bytes and provides DC1/DC3
(XON/XOFF) or RTS/CTS method of controlling the data into the buffer.
This flow control is controlled by AT&K3 or AT&K4 command.
This method of data flow control is available only for DTE to DCE
direction of data. There is no provision for data flow control from DCE
to DTE.
DATA STREAM TERMINATION
The DCE exchanges streams of data with the DTE while executing data
transfer commands. These use data stream termination described in
Section 3.2/ISO 2111.
The ASCII character (016) is used as a special character to shield
special characters. The character pair (<106><003>) is used
to mark the end of a stream. The following patterns are used:
any data.... end of stream
any data.... single in data
any data.... delete
DTE to DCE STREAMS
The DCE filters the data stream from the DTE, and removes all character
pairs beginning with. The DCE recognizes as the stream
terminator. The DCE recognizes and reinserts a single
in its place.
The DTE must filter stream data to the DCE, and insert extra
characters ahead of data.
DCE TO DTE STREAMS
The DTE must filter the data stream from the DCE, and remove all
character pairs beginning with. The DTE must recognize
as the stream terminator. The DTE must recognize and
reinsert a single in its place.
The DCE filters stream data to the DTE, and inserts extra
characters ahead of data.
7.1.3 AUTO ANSWER
The DCE can answer as a data DCE or as a fax DCE. It can answer the
call adaptively, i.e. it can determine whether call is 'data' or 'fax'.
The +FAA parameter controls this feature.
AT+FAA=1 ; Auto answer as a facsimile or a
; data modem depending on call
CONNECT xxx ; DCE status response if data call
+FCON ; DCE status response if fax call
7.1.4 IDENTIFICATION OF T.30 OPTIONS
Group 3 devices negotiate session parameters in DIS, DCS and DTC frames.
These parameters are defined in table 8.2.
7.1.5 SESSION STATUS REPORTING
The DCE provides reports to the DTE on the status of a session. The DCE
provides following status reports:
1. Connection and hang up status:
+FCON
+FHNG:<0-255>
2. Requested DIS session parameters +FDIS: reports remote
facsimile capabilities.
Syntax:+FDIS:VR, BR, WD, LN, DF, EC, BF, ST
3. +FDCS: reports the negotiated parameters
4. Phase C prompts:
XON, XOFF, DC2
5. Phase C base status reports: depending upon copy quality and related
end-of page status:
+FPTS:<1-5>
7.1.6 PROCEDURE INTERRRUPT NEGOTIATION
CCITT allows a station to request a procedure interruption at the end of
a page. This request is passed between stations by the PIP, PIN, and
PRI-Q messages.

7.2 SERVICE CLASS 2 IDENTIFICATION AND SELECTION
The fax class 2 commands are summarized in Table 7-1.
Three commands report identification and selection information. Each of
these three commands cause the DCE to send a message to the DTE. Each
message is 20 bytes (ASCII encoded) followed by the terminating
character (binary 0).
7.2.1 +FMFR?, REQUEST MANUFACTURER IDENTIFICAITION
The +FMFR? command caused the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE
product manufacturer. The default message is:
ROCKWELL
OK
7.2.2 +FMDL?, IDENTIFY PRODUCT MODEL
The +FMDL? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE
product model. The default message is:
V.32AC
OK
7.2.3 +FREV?, IDENTIFY PRODUCT REVISION
The +FREV? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE
product model revision number. The typical default message is:
V0.200 TR14-JXXX-001
OK
7.3 SERVICE CLASS 2 ACTION COMMANDS
These commands transfer data, and punctuate sessions. They also release
specific T.30 messages. All action commands must be the last command on
a command line. This is indicated by the terminating.
All action commands initiate processes. The modem will not accept other
commands from the DTE until the modem issues a final result code (e.g.
OK, CONNECT). The modem will abort the process if it receives any
character before the final result code is issued.
7.3.1 ATD, ORIGINATE A CALL
Syntax: ATD...
The DCE can support a DTE command to originate a call using the ATD
command (See Table 4-2).
If this command is unsuccessful, the DCE reports an appropriate failure
or error type result code such as NO CARRIER, NO DIALTONE or BUSY (see
Table 4-7).
If this call is successful, the typical DCE response is:
ATDnn.nn (go off-hook, dial, get CED)
+FCON (DCE detects flags)
[+FCSI:]
+FDCS:
OK
The DCE dials, detects call progress and generates the CNG tone. Then
it waits for a DIS frame. On detection of the first Phase B preamble
(V.21 ch. 2 modulated by 300 bit/s HDLC flags) it reports the "+FCON"
message to the DTE. The DCE then switches to 19.2K bps.
The DCE generates a DCS frame based on the received DIS frame and on the
previously set +FDIS parameter. A +FDT command from the DTE releases
the DCE to transmit that DCS frame.
The DCE reports the initial received T.30 negotiation messages,
including the DIS frame and the optional CSI ID string. The +FDIS:
report is followed by the OK final result code.
7.3.2 ATA, ANSWER A CALL
The DCE can support a DTE command to answer an incoming call using the
ATA command (see Table 4-2).
The DTE may issue an Answer command in response to an incoming ring.
If the Answer command is unsuccessful, the DCE will report an
appropriate failure or error type result code, such as NO CARRIER (see
4-7)
MANUAL CALL ANSWER
If this call is successful, the typical DCE response (answer and
receive) is:
+FCON
[+FTSI:]
+FDCS:
OK
(DTE should issue +FDR command here)
On receipt of an Answer command from the DTE, the DCE answer and
generates the CED tone. The DCE then generates a DIS frame (derived
from the +FDIS parameter) and hunts for the first T.30 negotiation
frames. On detection of the first Phase B preamble (V.21 ch 2 modulated
by 300 bit/s HDLC flags), it reports the "+FCON" message to the DTE.
The DTE should report the initial received T.30 negotiation messages,
including the DCS frame. The +FCS: report will be followed by the OK
final result code.
AUTOMATIC ANSWER
The modem provides for automatic answering of incoming calls. If
configured for automatic answer, the modem answers and incoming call in
compliance with T.30 and reports the same messages as described for
manual answer.
CONNECTIONS AS A DATA MODEM
If configured to do so by the +FAA parameter, the DCE will adaptively
answer as a facsimile DCE or as a data DCE. If the DCE answers as a
facsimile DCE or as a data DCE. If the DCE answers as a data DCE, it
resets the +FCLASS parameter to 0 and issues the appropriate final
result code (e.g. CONNECT or NO CARRIER) to the DTE.
7.3.3 +FDT, DATA TRANSMISSION
Syntax: +FDT
The +FDT command prefixes Phase C data transmission. When the DCE is
ready to accept Phase C data, it issues the negotiation responses and
the CONNECT result code to the DTE.
In Phase B, the +FDT command releases the DCE to proceed with
negotiation, and releases the DCS message to the remote station. In
Phase C, the +FDT command resumes transmission after the end of a prior
transmit data stream.
INITIATE PAGE TRANSMISSION
Phase B DCE polled response:
[+FCSI:] ; If new CSI received
[+FDIS:] ; If new DIS received
+FDCS:
CONNECT
; When ready for data
After placing a call, or after finishing a document exchange, the DTE
may command the DCE to re-enter T.30 Phase B to attempt to negotiate a
document transmission.
CONTINUE A PAGE
CONNECT
The DTE may issue more than one +FDT command for a given page, so that
different files may be concatenated together. These files must have the
same format.
PHASE C DATA FRAMING
Phase C data must be presented to the DCE in stream mode. The DCE
expects Phase C data to follow until it detects termination
characters. The DCE will filter the stream as described in Section
7.1.2
The DCE will acknowledge the end of the data by returning the OK result
code to the DTE.
If there is data underrun before the next +FDT or +FET= command, the DCE
will zero-fill pad as per T.4 until the Phase C timeout (+FPHCTO) is
reached, or until more data is received. The DCE appends an RTC pattern
to the transmit data after an +FET= command is received from the DTE.
PHASE C DATA FORMAT
The Phase C data will be of the format specified by the negotiated T.30
DCS frame. The +FDCS response is defined in section 7.4.2.
The subparameter values are described in table 7.2.
The DCE will use the negotiated minimum Scan Time parameter from the DCS
frame , and insert sufficient fill bits to pad each line to the minimum
scan time. This is reported in the +FDCS:ST subparameter.
If the DCE finds more than one consecutive EOL in Phase C data (e.g.
RTC), it will send only one EOL.
Note 1: Phase C data must conform to T.4 specifications
Note 2: The DTE need not include a final RTC, since the DCE will append
an RTC in response to an FET= command
Note 3: Some facsimile machines may treat two EOLs as an RTC
, ESCAPE FROM TRANSMISSION
The DCE may request the DTE to halt Phase C transmission, by sending an
cancel character (024) to the DTE. In this case, the DTE should
terminate Phase C transmission, issue, and wait for the OK
response code from the DCE.

|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
7.3.4 +FET=, TRANSMIT PAGE PUNCTUATION
Syntax: +FET=[,,,]
DCE response:
+FPTS: ; when receive from remote OK
This command is used to punctuate page and document transmission after
one or more +FDT commands. This command generates T.30 Post Page
Messages selected by the code (Table 7-3)
The +FET= command indicates that the current page is complete; no
more data will be appended to it. The value indicates if there are any
additional pages are to be sent and, if so, whether there is a change in
any of the document parameters.
The DTE can command the DCE to generate PRI-Q messages with the
+FET= command using ppm codes 4-6 (see Table 7-3)
This command must be sent within the time out specified by +FPHCTO after
sending Phase C data, or else the DCE will end the page and document
transmission. If the Phase C timeout is reached, the DCE sends an EOP
post page message and terminates the session
The remote facsimile station should respond to the post page message
with a post page response. The DCE will report this using the
+FPTS: response (Table 7-4)
END A PAGE
The +FET= command causes the DCE to append an ETC (6 EOL) pattern as
needed and enter Phase D by sending the selected T.30 Post Page message.
The +FET=1 (EOM) command signals the remote station that the next
document will have a new DCS negotiated; this causes the session to re-
enter Phase B.
7.3.5 +FDR, BEGIN OR CONTINUE PHASE C RECEIVE DATA
Syntax: +FDR
Default value: 3 seconds in some places
The +FDR command initiates transition to Phase C data reception. This
can occur after answering, dialing, a document is received, or a page is
received.
The DCE reports the negotiated T.30 parameters, with the remote ID
information if available. When the DCE is ready to commence data
transfer, it issues a CONNECT response code. If the DCE cannot resume
data transfer because there is no more data, it responds OK. When the
DTE is ready to accept data, it issues an character (018) to the
DCE.
If the DTE issues an character to the DCE for flow control, the
DCE signals the DTE when its buffers are empty by sending a
(<016><018>) character pair.
When the DCE delivers that last byte of a page, the DCE reports the Page
Transfer Status via the +FPTS: response (Table 7-4).
After a Page Transfer Status Report, the DCE reports the post page
message from the remote facsimile station via the +FET: response
(Table 7-3) which signals the intentions of the remote station.

The DCE holds the post page response message to the remote facsimile
station (MCF, etc.), represented in the +FPTS parameter until the next
+FDR command. The DTE may modify the +FPTS parameter before issuing the
+FDR command which releases that message. The DTE must issue a +FDR
command to release Post Page Messages.
INITIATE DOCUMENT RECEPTION
The +FDR command may be issued in Phase B after an answer command, or in
Phase B after a pervious document.
The DCE response in stream mode is:
+FCR ; when CFR sent
[+FTSI:] ; if new TSI received
+FDCS:] ; if new DCS
CONNECT
( needed from DTE here)
+FPTS:,[,,]
+FET:
OK
(DTE must issue +FDR command to release post page response)
CONTINUE DOCUMENT RECEPTION
The DTE may issue a +FDR command in Phase D, which releases the post
page message, and indicates readiness to receive another page after
receipt of a Multipage (+FET:0) or PPS-NULL (+FET:3) message. The DCE
response will be:
CONNECT
( needed from DTE here)
+FPTS:,[,,]
+FET:
OK
(DTE must issue +FDR command to release post page response.
If done receiving:
+FHNG:
OK
Continue page reception
PHASE C DATA FRAMING
Phase C data may be presented to the DTE in stream mode. The DCE will
transfer a stream of data to the DTE, followed by the stream
termination characters. The DCE will filter the stream as described in
7.1.2.
PHASE C DATA FORMAT
The received data format is negotiated under T.30 reported by the
+FDCS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST response.
The DCE will delete the terminating RTC (6 EOLs) patterns. The DCE may
strip zero fill bits from the data, to minimize storage needs.
, ESCAPE FROM RECEPTION
From the +FDR command until the end of Phase D Date, the DCE is in a
data transfer state, and will not respond to DTE command characters.
The DCE will respond to three ASCII control characters, (019) flow control characters, and cancel (024).
Upon receipt of the character, the DCE will terminate the
reporting of received data by sending trailing characters to
the DTE, and will then execute an implied +FK command in order to
conduct an orderly disconnection.
7.3.6 +FK, SESSION TERMINATION
Syntax: +FK
The +FK command causes the DCE to terminate the session in an orderly
manner. In particular, the DCE will send a DCN message at the next
opportunity and hang up. At the end of the termination process, the DCE
will report the +FHNG response with result code (Table 7-5).
This operation can be invoked by using the cancel character during
Phase C data reception (see prior section).
The DCE will wait until the current page completes, unless the reception
is of unlimited length; in that case, the DCE may halt reception and
terminate the session at any time.
7.4 SERVICE CLASS 2 DCE RESPONSES
The DCE sends information responses to the DTE as a facsimile session
proceeds. They indicate the state of the facsimile session and convey
need information. These messages are solicited messages generated in
execution of DTE action commands described in section 7.3.
The DCE precedes and follows the following information responses with
.
The DCE provides the on-line status of several session parameters when
they are available during T.30 handshaking. These include the remote ID
string and the DIS/DCS parameters. These responses report the T.30
session parameter frames. The subparameters are described in Table 7-2.
7.4.1 +FCON, FACSIMILE CONNECTION RESPONSE
+FCON indicates connection with a fax machine. It is released by
detection of HDLC flags in the first received frame +FCON is generated
in response to an Originate or Answer command.
7.4.2 +FDCS:, REPORT CURRENT SESSION CAPABILITIES
Syntax: +FDCS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
+FDCS: reports the negotiated parameters. Phase C data will be
formatted as described by the subparameters. This message may be
generated in execution of +FDT or +FDR commands before the CONNECT
result code if new DCS frames are generated of received. (See Table 7-
2.)
7.4.3 +FDIS:, REPORT REMOTE STATION CAPABILITIES
Syntax: +FDIS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
+FDIS: reports remote facsimile station capabilities and
intentions. The parameters are provided in ASCII notation. (See Table
7-2.)
This message is generated in execution of Originate, Answer, +FDT, or
+FDR commands.
7.4.4 +FCFR, INDICATE CONFIRMATION TO RECEIVE
Syntax: +FCFR
The DCE sends a +FCFR response to the DTE upon reception of an
acceptable TCF training burst and a valid DCS signal from the remote
machine. This indicates that the DCE will receive Phase C data after
the remote station receives the local DCE's CFR message. The +FCFR
message is generated in execution of a +FDR command.
7.4.5 +FTSI:, REPORT THE TRANSMIT STATION ID
Syntax: +FTSI:"" Transmit Station ID
This response reports the received transmit station ID string, if any.
This message is generated in execution of Originate, Answer, +FDT, or
+FDR commands.
7.4.6 +FCSI:, REPORT THE CALLED STATION ID
Syntax: +FCSI:"" Called Station ID
This response reports the received called station ID string, if any.
This message is generated in execution of Originate, Answer, +FDT, or
+FDA commands.
7.4.7 +FPTS:, RECEIVE PAGE TRANSFER STATUS
Syntax: +FPTS:,[,,]
The +FPTS: is generated by the DCE at the end of Phase C data
reception in execution of a +FDR command.
The is generated by the DCE; it depends on the DCE capabilities at
T.4 error checking. See Table 7-4 for values.
The receiving DCE will count the lines and may optionally generate bad
line counts. These values are:
= line count
= bad line count
=
A receiving DTE may inspect and write a modified value into the +FPTS parameter. The DCE will hold the corresponding Post Page Response message until released by a +FDR command from the DTE.
7.4.8 +FET:, POST PAGE MESSAGE RESPONSE
Syntax: +FET:
The +FET: response is generated by a receiving DCE
after DCE after the end of Phase C reception on receipt of the post-page
message from the transmitting station. The +GET: response is
generated in execution of a +FDR command. The codes respond to
the T.30 pst page messages (Table 7-3)
7.4.9 +FPTS:, TRANSMIT PAGE TRANSFER STATUS
Syntax: +FPTS:
The +FPTS: response reports a number representing the copy quality
and related post page message responses received from the remote DCE.
The set of valid values are defined in Table 7-4.
The +FPTS: response is generated in execution of a +FET=
command.
7.4.10 +FHNG:, CALL TERMINATION WITH STATUS
Syntax: +FHNG:
+FHNG indicates that the call has been terminated. The hangup cause is
reported and stored in the +FAXERR parameter for later inspection. The
values are described in Table 7-5.
+FHNG: is a possible intermediate result code to any DTE action
command described in Section 7.3. It is always followed by the OK final
result code.
Upon termination of a call, the DCE determines the cause of termination
and reports it as part of the FHNG: response. It also stores this
code in the +FAXERR parameter for later inspection.
The hangup values are organized according to the phases of the facsimile
transaction as defined by T.30. A COMREC error or RSPREC error
indicates that one of two events occurred. 1) a DCN (disconnect) signal
was received, or 2) an FCS error was detected and the incoming signal
was still present after 3 seconds.
The table values are in decimal notation. Leading zero characters are
optional.

7.5 SERVICE CLASS 2 PARAMETERS
All Service Class 2 parameters can be read, written, and tested for
range of legal values by the DCE. The general syntax is described in
Section 7.1.
Group 3 FAX devices negotiate session parameters in DIS, DCS, and DTC
frames. The following parameters are provided to condition the
facsimile DCE for the capabilities it will offer and to report the
session settings negotiated.
The three primary T.30 session parameters are +FDCC, +FDIS and +FDCS.
They are compound parameters, using values listed in Table 7-2. Figure
70-1 illustrates their relationships.
7.5.1 +FDCC, DCE CAPABILITIES PARAMETERS
Write Syntax: +FDCC:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
Valid values See Table 7-2
Default values 0,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 (RC96AC)
0,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 (RC144AC)
+FDCC allows the DTE to sense and constrain the capabilities of the
facsimile DCE from the choices defined in CCITT t.30 Table 2. When
+FDCC is modified by the DTE, the DCE copies +FDCC into +FDIS.
7.5.2 +FDIS, CURRENT SESSIONS CAPABILIIES PARAMETERS
Write Syntax: +FDIS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
Valid values See Table 7-2
Default values 0,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 (RC96AC)
0,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 (RC144AC)
The +FDIS parameter allows the DTE to sense and constrain the
capabilities used for the current session. The DCE uses +FDIS to
generate DIS or DTC messages directly, and uses +FDIS and received DIS
messages to generate DCS messages.
The DCE initializes the +FDIS parameter from the +FDCC parameter on
initialization, when +FDCC is written, and at the end of a session.
7.5.4 +FLID=, LOCAL ID STRING
Write Syntax +FLID=""
Valid values: 20 character ASCII string
Default value: Empty
If FLID is not a null string, it generates a TSI or CSI frame. Table
3/T.30 includes digits 0-9, "+" and space.
If the DCE supports use of Table 3/t.30 only, the response to a +FLID=?
command is "<20)(32, 43, 48-57)". If the DCE supports printable ASCII
<, the response is "(20)(32-127)" The first "(20)" represents
string length: the second (character values) field reports supported
string values.
Notes: 1. The string is saved in RAM.
2. Non-numeric characters are not filtered out.
7.5.5 +FCR, CAPABILITY TO RECEIVE
Write Syntax: +FCR=
Valid values: 1,0
Default values 0
+FCR=0 indicates that the DCE will not receive message data. This can
be sued when the DTE has insufficient storage. The DCE can send and can
be polled for a file.
+FCR is sampled in CCITT T.30 Phase A and Phase D
7.5.6 +FPTS=, PAGE TRANSFER STATUS
Write syntax: +FPTS=
Valid Values: 1,2,3,4,5
Default value: 0
7.5.7 +FCQ, COPY QUALITY CHECKING
Write Syntax: +FCQ=
Valid Values: 0
Default Value: 0
This parameter controls Copy Quality checking by a receiving facsimile
DCE.
The DCE returns +FCQ=0 which indicates the DCE does no quality checking.
The DCE will generate Copy Quality OK (MCF) responses to complete pages,
and set +FPTS=1.
7.5.8 +FPHCTO, DTE PHASE C RESPONSE TIME-OUT
Write Syntax: +FPHCTO=
Valid Values: 0-255, 100 millisecond units
Default Value: 30
The +FPHCTO command determines how long the DCE will wait for a command
after reaching the end of data when transmitting in Phase C. When this
time-out is reached, the DCE assumes there are no more pages and no
documents to send. It then sends the T.30 EOP response to the remote
device.
7.5.9 +FAXERR, T.30 SESSION ERROR REPORT
Read Syntax: +FAXERR=, read only

SUPRA's DISCLAIMER:
The following information has been taken from Rockwell's RC144AC
manual. It has not been taken from the CCITT Class 2 documentation,
which is copyrighted by the CCITT. This information is provided for
educational purposes only. To fully understand this information
requires a through knowledge of the T.4 fax image and the T.30 fax
session protocol standards. Due to the nature of this information,
Supra's engineers and technical support can not and will not provide any
help or support on this information. While a majority of this
information is correct, neither Supra nor Rockwell implies or warranties
that the SupraFaxModem will work exactly as documented here. This
information is based on an early draft of Class 2, which has undergone
further revisions and changes by the CCITT TR29.2 committee. We
STRONGLY urge anyone attempting to develop fax software to get the
required documentation from Global Engineering or the TIA.
SHORT HISTORY OF CLASS 1 AND 2
In 1988 the CCITT TR29.2 committee accepted the Class 1 standard for
communication between fax software and fax modems. The committee also
voted on, but did not accept for various technical reasons, the Class 2
standard. A year later, they had slightly revised the standard but
again did not accept it. Software and hardware manufactures decided to
unofficially adopt this standard until the TR29.2 committee could
develop an acceptable standard. Since so many companies have used the
unoffical standard, the TR29.2 committee has designated that when the
standard is offically adopted it will be known as Class 2.0. Over the
last year or so, the TR29.2 committee has voted on several revisions to
the Class 2 standard. Their last vote was early May '92. A no vote for
technical reasons was entered. The TR29.2 committee is now reviewing
the technical issues that were raised. At this time, Supra has not
heard of a projected date for the next ballot.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASS 1 AND 2
Class 1 fax software handles all of the T.4 fax image and T.30 session
protocol information and timming. Thus, the ability to communicate
properly with various fax machines is more a function of the software
than the fax modem. Class 2 fax software generates a T.4 fax page
image and sends it to the fax modem a page at a time. The fax modem
then handles the T.30 session protocol information and timming. This
relieves the computer's cpu from some work. The ability to communicate
properly with various fax machines is more a function of the fax modem
than the software. However, to further complicate matters, class 2 fax
software can issue Class 1 commands and take over some of the duties of
the Class 2 fax modem.
When customers have a problem communicating correctly with a fax
machine/modem, it can be very difficult to determine which is at fault,
the software or the hardware. Supra has collected numerous Class 1 and
2 fax software for a variety of different computers. When we receive a
report of a problem, we use these programs to determine if it is a
software or hardware problem. If it is a hardware problem, we notify
Rockwell, otherwise we notify the software company.
BUG REPORTS
Supra is dedicated to making the best product for the best price. If
you feel that you have found a bug, please fax or send a letter to the
attention of:
SUPRA V32/BIS FAX BUG
Please fully describe the 'bug' (specific steps to generate it, phone
numbers to call, make and model of fax/modem, rev of our ROM (from I3
command) ), why you believe that it is a bug, what specific section of
Class 2 applies to this bug and how you would like the bug to be fixed.
Please remember that there are issues that have not been addressed or
settled by the TR29.2 committee in the Class 2 specifications. (i.e. how
the DCD and DTR lines are handled while in fax mode.)

7.1 COMMAND SYNTAX AND GUIDELINES
7.1.1 DTE COMMANDS
The ISO 646 character set (T.50 International Alphabet 5, American
Standard Code for Information Interchange) is used for the issuance of
commands and responses. Only the low-order 7 bits of each character are
used for commands or parameters; the high order bit is ignored. Upper
case characters are equivalent to lower case characters.
For Phase C data transmission or reception, all 8 bits are needed.
DTE COMMAND LINES
A command line is a string of characters sent from a DTE to the DCE
while the DCE is in a command state. Command lines have a prefix, a
body, and a terminator. The prefix consists of the ASCII characters
'AT' (065, 084) or 'at' (097, 116). The body is a string of commands
restricted to printable ASCII characters, (032-126). Space characters
(ASCII 032) and control characters other than CR (013) and BS (010) in
the command string are ignored. The default terminator is the ASCII
BSIC COMMAND SYNTAX
Characters within the command line are parsed as commands with
associated parameter values. The basic commands consist of single ASCII
characters, or single characters preceded by a prefix character (e.g.,
'&'), followed by a decimal parameter.
Missing decimal parameters are evaluated as 0.
EXTENDED COMMAND SYNTAX
The facsimile commands use extended syntax. They are preceded by the
'+F' characters, and they are terminated by the semicolon ';' character
(059) or by the
AT+FAA=0 ;+FCR 1
This command instructs the DCE to answer automatically a data or fax
call and also enables reception.
AT+FCLASS=0
AT+FCLASS=1
AT+FCLASS=2
In Class 2, the DCE makes and terminates calls, manages the
communication session and negotiates (T.30 protocol) and transports the
image date to DTE. The T.4 protocol management of image data, etc. is
done by DTE.
The response to
AT+FCLASS=0
or
AT+FCLASS=2
is
OK
The service class may be set by the DTE from the choices available using
the '+FCLASS=
GENERAL RULES
1. +Fnnn commands must be entered completely otherwise an
ERROR response is sent.
2. All response messages are preceded and followed by
Multiple response commands, e.g., +FDIS:+FCSI: and +FDCS, will
therefore appear to a have a blank line between them.
3. Fax Class 2 commands can be separated by the ";" character. The ";"
can be omitted if desired. Note that non-data commands cannot be
separated by ";" which is allowed as a dial modifier.
4. All class 2 commands are assumed to be the final command on a
command line. Additional characters will be ignored.
5. An ERROR message will be generated if any of the following
conditions:
a. A class 1 command is received while in Class 2.
b. A Class 2 command is received while in Class 1.
c. A Class 1 or Class 2 action command is received while in data
modem mode
d. A Class 2 read-only parameter is given the "=" form of a +F
command (e.g., AT+FAXERR=5).
e. A class 2 action command is given the inappropriate "=" or
"=?" (e.g., AT+FDR=?).
7.1.2 SERIAL PORT SPEED AND FLOW CONTROL
During fax mode, the DTE-DCE port speed is 19200 bps.
The DCE provides a speed buffer of 1024 bytes and provides DC1/DC3
(XON/XOFF) or RTS/CTS method of controlling the data into the buffer.
This flow control is controlled by AT&K3 or AT&K4 command.
This method of data flow control is available only for DTE to DCE
direction of data. There is no provision for data flow control from DCE
to DTE.
DATA STREAM TERMINATION
The DCE exchanges streams of data with the DTE while executing data
transfer commands. These use data stream termination described in
Section 3.2/ISO 2111.
The ASCII
special characters. The
to mark the end of a stream. The following patterns are used:

DTE to DCE STREAMS
The DCE filters the data stream from the DTE, and removes all character
pairs beginning with
terminator. The DCE recognizes

The DTE must filter stream data to the DCE, and insert extra
characters ahead of data.
DCE TO DTE STREAMS
The DTE must filter the data stream from the DCE, and remove all
character pairs beginning with
as the stream terminator. The DTE must recognize
reinsert a single
The DCE filters stream data to the DTE, and inserts extra
characters ahead of data.
7.1.3 AUTO ANSWER
The DCE can answer as a data DCE or as a fax DCE. It can answer the
call adaptively, i.e. it can determine whether call is 'data' or 'fax'.
The +FAA parameter controls this feature.
AT+FAA=1 ; Auto answer as a facsimile or a
; data modem depending on call
CONNECT xxx ; DCE status response if data call
+FCON ; DCE status response if fax call
7.1.4 IDENTIFICATION OF T.30 OPTIONS
Group 3 devices negotiate session parameters in DIS, DCS and DTC frames.
These parameters are defined in table 8.2.
7.1.5 SESSION STATUS REPORTING
The DCE provides reports to the DTE on the status of a session. The DCE
provides following status reports:
1. Connection and hang up status:
+FCON
+FHNG:<0-255>
2. Requested DIS session parameters +FDIS:
facsimile capabilities.
Syntax:+FDIS:VR, BR, WD, LN, DF, EC, BF, ST
3. +FDCS:
4. Phase C prompts:
XON, XOFF, DC2
5. Phase C base status reports: depending upon copy quality and related
end-of page status:
+FPTS:<1-5>
7.1.6 PROCEDURE INTERRRUPT NEGOTIATION
CCITT allows a station to request a procedure interruption at the end of
a page. This request is passed between stations by the PIP, PIN, and
PRI-Q messages.

7.2 SERVICE CLASS 2 IDENTIFICATION AND SELECTION
The fax class 2 commands are summarized in Table 7-1.
Three commands report identification and selection information. Each of
these three commands cause the DCE to send a message to the DTE. Each
message is 20 bytes (ASCII encoded) followed by the terminating
character (binary 0).
7.2.1 +FMFR?, REQUEST MANUFACTURER IDENTIFICAITION
The +FMFR? command caused the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE
product manufacturer. The default message is:
ROCKWELL
OK
7.2.2 +FMDL?, IDENTIFY PRODUCT MODEL
The +FMDL? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE
product model. The default message is:
V.32AC
OK
7.2.3 +FREV?, IDENTIFY PRODUCT REVISION
The +FREV? command causes the DCE to send a message identifying the DCE
product model revision number. The typical default message is:
V0.200 TR14-JXXX-001
OK
7.3 SERVICE CLASS 2 ACTION COMMANDS
These commands transfer data, and punctuate sessions. They also release
specific T.30 messages. All action commands must be the last command on
a command line. This is indicated by the terminating
All action commands initiate processes. The modem will not accept other
commands from the DTE until the modem issues a final result code (e.g.
OK, CONNECT). The modem will abort the process if it receives any
character before the final result code is issued.
7.3.1 ATD, ORIGINATE A CALL
Syntax: ATD...
The DCE can support a DTE command to originate a call using the ATD
command (See Table 4-2).
If this command is unsuccessful, the DCE reports an appropriate failure
or error type result code such as NO CARRIER, NO DIALTONE or BUSY (see
Table 4-7).
If this call is successful, the typical DCE response is:
ATDnn.nn (go off-hook, dial, get CED)
+FCON (DCE detects flags)
[+FCSI:
+FDCS:
OK
The DCE dials, detects call progress and generates the CNG tone. Then
it waits for a DIS frame. On detection of the first Phase B preamble
(V.21 ch. 2 modulated by 300 bit/s HDLC flags) it reports the "+FCON"
message to the DTE. The DCE then switches to 19.2K bps.
The DCE generates a DCS frame based on the received DIS frame and on the
previously set +FDIS parameter. A +FDT command from the DTE releases
the DCE to transmit that DCS frame.
The DCE reports the initial received T.30 negotiation messages,
including the DIS frame and the optional CSI ID string. The +FDIS:
report is followed by the OK final result code.
7.3.2 ATA, ANSWER A CALL
The DCE can support a DTE command to answer an incoming call using the
ATA command (see Table 4-2).
The DTE may issue an Answer command in response to an incoming ring.
If the Answer command is unsuccessful, the DCE will report an
appropriate failure or error type result code, such as NO CARRIER (see
4-7)
MANUAL CALL ANSWER
If this call is successful, the typical DCE response (answer and
receive) is:
+FCON
[+FTSI:
+FDCS:
OK
(DTE should issue +FDR command here)
On receipt of an Answer command from the DTE, the DCE answer and
generates the CED tone. The DCE then generates a DIS frame (derived
from the +FDIS parameter) and hunts for the first T.30 negotiation
frames. On detection of the first Phase B preamble (V.21 ch 2 modulated
by 300 bit/s HDLC flags), it reports the "+FCON" message to the DTE.
The DTE should report the initial received T.30 negotiation messages,
including the DCS frame. The +FCS: report will be followed by the OK
final result code.
AUTOMATIC ANSWER
The modem provides for automatic answering of incoming calls. If
configured for automatic answer, the modem answers and incoming call in
compliance with T.30 and reports the same messages as described for
manual answer.
CONNECTIONS AS A DATA MODEM
If configured to do so by the +FAA parameter, the DCE will adaptively
answer as a facsimile DCE or as a data DCE. If the DCE answers as a
facsimile DCE or as a data DCE. If the DCE answers as a data DCE, it
resets the +FCLASS parameter to 0 and issues the appropriate final
result code (e.g. CONNECT or NO CARRIER) to the DTE.
7.3.3 +FDT, DATA TRANSMISSION
Syntax: +FDT
The +FDT command prefixes Phase C data transmission. When the DCE is
ready to accept Phase C data, it issues the negotiation responses and
the CONNECT result code to the DTE.
In Phase B, the +FDT command releases the DCE to proceed with
negotiation, and releases the DCS message to the remote station. In
Phase C, the +FDT command resumes transmission after the end of a prior
transmit data stream.
INITIATE PAGE TRANSMISSION
Phase B DCE polled response:
[+FCSI:
[+FDIS:
+FDCS:
CONNECT
After placing a call, or after finishing a document exchange, the DTE
may command the DCE to re-enter T.30 Phase B to attempt to negotiate a
document transmission.
CONTINUE A PAGE
CONNECT
The DTE may issue more than one +FDT command for a given page, so that
different files may be concatenated together. These files must have the
same format.
PHASE C DATA FRAMING
Phase C data must be presented to the DCE in stream mode. The DCE
expects Phase C data to follow until it detects
characters. The DCE will filter the stream as described in Section
7.1.2
The DCE will acknowledge the end of the data by returning the OK result
code to the DTE.
If there is data underrun before the next +FDT or +FET= command, the DCE
will zero-fill pad as per T.4 until the Phase C timeout (+FPHCTO) is
reached, or until more data is received. The DCE appends an RTC pattern
to the transmit data after an +FET= command is received from the DTE.
PHASE C DATA FORMAT
The Phase C data will be of the format specified by the negotiated T.30
DCS frame. The +FDCS
The subparameter values are described in table 7.2.
The DCE will use the negotiated minimum Scan Time parameter from the DCS
frame , and insert sufficient fill bits to pad each line to the minimum
scan time. This is reported in the +FDCS:ST subparameter.
If the DCE finds more than one consecutive EOL in Phase C data (e.g.
RTC), it will send only one EOL.
Note 1: Phase C data must conform to T.4 specifications
Note 2: The DTE need not include a final RTC, since the DCE will append
an RTC in response to an FET= command
Note 3: Some facsimile machines may treat two EOLs as an RTC
The DCE may request the DTE to halt Phase C transmission, by sending an
cancel
terminate Phase C transmission, issue
response code from the DCE.

additional pages are to be sent and, if so, whether there is a change in
any of the document parameters.
The DTE can command the DCE to generate PRI-Q messages with the
+FET=
This command must be sent within the time out specified by +FPHCTO after
sending Phase C data, or else the DCE will end the page and document
transmission. If the Phase C timeout is reached, the DCE sends an EOP
post page message and terminates the session
The remote facsimile station should respond to the post page message
with a post page response. The DCE will report this using the
+FPTS:
END A PAGE
The +FET= command causes the DCE to append an ETC (6 EOL) pattern as
needed and enter Phase D by sending the selected T.30 Post Page message.
The +FET=1 (EOM) command signals the remote station that the next
document will have a new DCS negotiated; this causes the session to re-
enter Phase B.
7.3.5 +FDR, BEGIN OR CONTINUE PHASE C RECEIVE DATA
Syntax: +FDR
Default value: 3 seconds in some places
The +FDR command initiates transition to Phase C data reception. This
can occur after answering, dialing, a document is received, or a page is
received.
The DCE reports the negotiated T.30 parameters, with the remote ID
information if available. When the DCE is ready to commence data
transfer, it issues a CONNECT response code. If the DCE cannot resume
data transfer because there is no more data, it responds OK. When the
DTE is ready to accept data, it issues an
DCE.
If the DTE issues an
DCE signals the DTE when its buffers are empty by sending a
(<016><018>) character pair.
When the DCE delivers that last byte of a page, the DCE reports the Page
Transfer Status via the +FPTS:
After a Page Transfer Status Report, the DCE reports the post page
message from the remote facsimile station via the +FET:
(Table 7-3) which signals the intentions of the remote station.

The DCE holds the post page response message to the remote facsimile
station (MCF, etc.), represented in the +FPTS parameter until the next
+FDR command. The DTE may modify the +FPTS parameter before issuing the
+FDR command which releases that message. The DTE must issue a +FDR
command to release Post Page Messages.
INITIATE DOCUMENT RECEPTION
The +FDR command may be issued in Phase B after an answer command, or in
Phase B after a pervious document.
The DCE response in stream mode is:
+FCR ; when CFR sent
[+FTSI:
+FDCS:
CONNECT

CONTINUE DOCUMENT RECEPTION
The DTE may issue a +FDR command in Phase D, which releases the post
page message, and indicates readiness to receive another page after
receipt of a Multipage (+FET:0) or PPS-NULL (+FET:3) message. The DCE
response will be:
CONNECT

+FPTS:
+FET:
OK
(DTE must issue +FDR command to release post page response.
If done receiving:
+FHNG:

PHASE C DATA FRAMING
Phase C data may be presented to the DTE in stream mode. The DCE will
transfer a stream of data to the DTE, followed by the
termination characters. The DCE will filter the stream as described in
7.1.2.
PHASE C DATA FORMAT
The received data format is negotiated under T.30 reported by the
+FDCS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST response.
The DCE will delete the terminating RTC (6 EOLs) patterns. The DCE may
strip zero fill bits from the data, to minimize storage needs.
From the +FDR command until the end of Phase D Date, the DCE is in a
data transfer state, and will not respond to DTE command characters.
The DCE will respond to three ASCII control characters,
Upon receipt of the
reporting of received data by sending trailing
the DTE, and will then execute an implied +FK command in order to
conduct an orderly disconnection.
7.3.6 +FK, SESSION TERMINATION
Syntax: +FK
The +FK command causes the DCE to terminate the session in an orderly
manner. In particular, the DCE will send a DCN message at the next
opportunity and hang up. At the end of the termination process, the DCE
will report the +FHNG response with result code (Table 7-5).
This operation can be invoked by using the cancel
Phase C data reception (see prior section).
The DCE will wait until the current page completes, unless the reception
is of unlimited length; in that case, the DCE may halt reception and
terminate the session at any time.
7.4 SERVICE CLASS 2 DCE RESPONSES
The DCE sends information responses to the DTE as a facsimile session
proceeds. They indicate the state of the facsimile session and convey
need information. These messages are solicited messages generated in
execution of DTE action commands described in section 7.3.
The DCE precedes and follows the following information responses with
The DCE provides the on-line status of several session parameters when
they are available during T.30 handshaking. These include the remote ID
string and the DIS/DCS parameters. These responses report the T.30
session parameter frames. The subparameters are described in Table 7-2.
7.4.1 +FCON, FACSIMILE CONNECTION RESPONSE
+FCON indicates connection with a fax machine. It is released by
detection of HDLC flags in the first received frame +FCON is generated

7.4.4 +FCFR, INDICATE CONFIRMATION TO RECEIVE
Syntax: +FCFR
The DCE sends a +FCFR response to the DTE upon reception of an
acceptable TCF training burst and a valid DCS signal from the remote
machine. This indicates that the DCE will receive Phase C data after
the remote station receives the local DCE's CFR message. The +FCFR
message is generated in execution of a +FDR command.
7.4.5 +FTSI:, REPORT THE TRANSMIT STATION ID

7.5 SERVICE CLASS 2 PARAMETERS
All Service Class 2 parameters can be read, written, and tested for
range of legal values by the DCE. The general syntax is described in
Section 7.1.
Group 3 FAX devices negotiate session parameters in DIS, DCS, and DTC
frames. The following parameters are provided to condition the
facsimile DCE for the capabilities it will offer and to report the
session settings negotiated.
The three primary T.30 session parameters are +FDCC, +FDIS and +FDCS.
They are compound parameters, using values listed in Table 7-2. Figure
70-1 illustrates their relationships.
7.5.1 +FDCC, DCE CAPABILITIES PARAMETERS
Write Syntax: +FDCC:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
Valid values See Table 7-2
Default values 0,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 (RC96AC)
0,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 (RC144AC)
+FDCC allows the DTE to sense and constrain the capabilities of the
facsimile DCE from the choices defined in CCITT t.30 Table 2. When
+FDCC is modified by the DTE, the DCE copies +FDCC into +FDIS.
7.5.2 +FDIS, CURRENT SESSIONS CAPABILIIES PARAMETERS
Write Syntax: +FDIS:VR,BR,WD,LN,DF,EC,BF,ST
Valid values See Table 7-2
Default values 0,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 (RC96AC)
0,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 (RC144AC)
The +FDIS parameter allows the DTE to sense and constrain the
capabilities used for the current session. The DCE uses +FDIS to
generate DIS or DTC messages directly, and uses +FDIS and received DIS
messages to generate DCS messages.
The DCE initializes the +FDIS parameter from the +FDCC parameter on
initialization, when +FDCC is written, and at the end of a session.
7.5.4 +FLID=, LOCAL ID STRING
Write Syntax +FLID="
Valid values: 20 character ASCII string
Default value: Empty
If FLID is not a null string, it generates a TSI or CSI frame. Table
3/T.30 includes digits 0-9, "+" and space.
If the DCE supports use of Table 3/t.30 only, the response to a +FLID=?
command is "<20)(32, 43, 48-57)". If the DCE supports printable ASCII
<, the response is "(20)(32-127)
string length: the second (character values) field reports supported
string values.
Notes: 1. The string is saved in RAM.
2. Non-numeric characters are not filtered out.
7.5.5 +FCR, CAPABILITY TO RECEIVE
Write Syntax: +FCR=
Valid values: 1,0
Default values 0
+FCR=0 indicates that the DCE will not receive message data. This can
be sued when the DTE has insufficient storage. The DCE can send and can
be polled for a file.
+FCR is sampled in CCITT T.30 Phase A and Phase D
7.5.6 +FPTS=, PAGE TRANSFER STATUS
Write syntax: +FPTS=
Valid Values: 1,2,3,4,5
Default value: 0
7.5.7 +FCQ, COPY QUALITY CHECKING
Write Syntax: +FCQ=
Valid Values: 0
Default Value: 0
This parameter controls Copy Quality checking by a receiving facsimile
DCE.
The DCE returns +FCQ=0 which indicates the DCE does no quality checking.
The DCE will generate Copy Quality OK (MCF) responses to complete pages,
and set +FPTS=1.
7.5.8 +FPHCTO, DTE PHASE C RESPONSE TIME-OUT
Write Syntax: +FPHCTO=
Valid Values: 0-255, 100 millisecond units
Default Value: 30
The +FPHCTO command determines how long the DCE will wait for a command
after reaching the end of data when transmitting in Phase C. When this
time-out is reached, the DCE assumes there are no more pages and no
documents to send. It then sends the T.30 EOP response to the remote
device.
7.5.9 +FAXERR, T.30 SESSION ERROR REPORT
Read Syntax: +FAXERR=
