CH1724 Design Notes
The following design notes are intended to assist the developer in achieving maximum utility from the CH1724 modem module.

Power Supply: The CH1724 modem module involves a complex set of sub-systems. During the course of normal operation the CH1724 decodes analog signals from the telephone line that are in the millivolt range.  Steps must be taken by the user to guarantee that power supply noise on all supply lines, including ground, does not exceed 50 mV peak to peak. Any frequency between 20 kHz and 150 kHz must be less than 500 micro volts peak. If necessary, use dedicated power and ground planes. Failure to provide such operating conditions could cause the CH1724 to malfunction or to function erratically.

The CH1724 requires a single +3.3V ± 0.3 volt supply.  It is recommended that by-pass capacitors be placed on the power supply as close to the modem’s supply input as practical. Cermetek recommends a 10 mF Tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor.

Error Correction: The CH1724 employs MNP error correction to preserve data integrity. MNP error correction monitors blocks of data for errors and executes a retransmission of any data blocks containing errors.  The AT\N command selects the use of error correction in the CH1724.  Two modems negotiate error correction on completion of the modem handshake.  Both modems must have error correction available for error correction to be successfully negotiated.  The ATW command causes the modem to report the status of the error correction negotiations as part of the CONNECT response.

Flow Control: When error correction or data buffering is employed, flow control is needed to prevent the loss of data due to a buffer overflow.  With flow control activated, AT&K command, the modem signals the host when its transmit data buffer nears capacity.  Likewise the host signals the modem if its input buffer fills. Two methods of signaling can be used:  hardware flow control uses the RTS and CTS control lines for signaling; software flow control employs XON and XOFF characters in the data stream to signal a buffer full condition.

Shared Line Features: The CH1724 includes a line monitor function to prevent the modem from interfering with other devices connected to the same telephone line.  Both loop current and voltage are monitored to prevent the modem from interrupting an ongoing call or blocking an emergency call from being made.  The shared line features are controls with the ATLS command

Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM): The CH1724 incorporates NVRAM to store a user customized modem profile and phone numbers for automated dialing. The AT&W command will store the active modem configuration in the NVRAM.  The CH1724 is delivered with factory default setup parameter values pre-stored in NVRAM.

The AT&Yn command selects the modem configurations to be automatically recalled and made active upon a reset or power up.  The ATZn command immediately recalls and activates a stored profile configuration.  Refer to Tables 4, 5 and 6 for storable S-Registers and available commands.

The NVRAM can save two telephone numbers with up to 60 digits or modifiers in each telephone number.  The AT&Zn=s command will store s, the telephone number dial string. The individual NVRAM telephone number storage locations are selected by specifying an n of 0 or 1.  The ATDTS=n command will cause the modem to dial the stored telephone number in location n.

World-wide Telecom Compliance:  The CH1724 is configurable to meet telecom requirements from around the world.  The AT+GCI command includes settings for more than 75 countries. Additional countries can be added on request.

Serial Interface:  The CH1724 connects to the system host through a 5 volt tolerant 3 volt serial interface.  At a minimum TXD, RXD and Ground must be used.  Use of he remaining signals, inputs /RTS, /DTR, and /Reset and outputs /CTS, /DCD, /DSR, and /RI is optional.  If you elect to not use the /RTS and /DTR inputs, a 1K pull-down resistor should be sued to force those signals to the active state.  If not used the /Reset line should be left open.  Any of the outputs which are unused can be left open.

The operation of several interface pins is under AT command control. The AT&C command can be sued to force /DCD to the active state; The AT&D command controls how the modem interprets the status of /DTR; the AT&S command allows /DSR to be forced to the active condition. AT&K3 allows the modem to deactivate /CTS if the modem’s input buffers approach capacity. 

CH1724 AT Commands

Control of the CH1724 relies on “AT” commands. This section describes the AT command format and lists the commands, registers and result codes.

Command Mode: The CH1724 enters command mode on power-up, reset, a lost connection, or receipt of the escape code. In command mode the modem accepts commands from the host on transmit data. Appropriate result codes are returned on received data.
Note: For backward compatibility some functions are controlled by more than one command.  In these instances the last command issued determines the function setting.

Command Line Format: AT commands follow a strict format.  Each command line, except A/, begins with the prefix AT. The "A" and "T" may be either upper case or both lower case but cannot be of different cases. The modem determines data rate of the host equipment by measuring the width of the incoming bits of the “A” and “T.”

Multiple commands may be combined into a single command line of up to 60 characters. Commands are executed in the sequence they appear upon receipt of a carriage return. Spaces inserted into the command line are not placed in the buffer.

The command line can be edited with a backspace before it is executed. The backspace erases the previous character in the command line. Register S5 allows the user to select a character other than backspace to edit the command line.

If the command buffer overflows, the modem issues an "ERROR" result code, and the command line is not executed.  Register S3 allows the user to select a character other than a carriage return to terminate the command line.

Re-Execute Last Command - The A/ command causes the modem to re-execute the last command line. This is the only command which does not require the "AT" prefix.

Omitted Parameters - Most commands include a parameter which determines how the functions will be set. When the command parameter is omitted from the command string, it is assumed to be a 0.

Escape Characters - A 3 character escape sequence may be entered to switch the modem into command mode while on line.  The escape character, set by Register S2, must be entered 3 times in succession to execute the escape. A command must then be entered within the period defined by S12 to enter command mode.  The default escape sequence is "+++."

 Result Codes - The modem issues a result code after each action.  Result codes may be sent as full words, one or two digit numeric codes, or may be disabled all together.  Each result code ends with a carriage return when numeric result codes are chosen.  When full word result codes are chosen, a Line Feed and Carriage Return precede and follow each result code.

Security Standards
The CH1724S supports a pair of Security industry Assi=ociation standard protocols; Contact ID (SIA DC-05-1999.09) and SIA Format (SIA DC-03-1990.01).  the CH1724S selects both of these protocols with variations on the standard modem AT commands. 

Contact ID: Contact ID is selected with the command AT-A1<CR>.  With Contact ID selected a modified dialing command is used to transfer the Contact iD message see command below.

ATDT!xxx!1yyyy<CR>

In the above command xxx represents the number to be dialed.  The 1 identifies the digits that follow as Contact ID formatted data.  The characters YYYY represent the Contact ID message including the CRC.  A maximum of 63 characters may be included in the Contact ID message.  Additional data can be sent using the AT!1zzz or !zzz commands. 

Other commands and registers are also used in the Contact ID messaging.  The AT-B command causes the modem to resend the previous Contact ID message.  S10, S61, and S90 control the Kissoff tone timing at end the transaction. S42 an S43 control the timing of the handshake tones.

Contact ID mode also uses a unique set of responses as shown below.
b    Busy Tone Detected
c    Connect
K    Valid Kissoff Tone Detected
k    Kissoff Tone Exceeds the Time Limit Set by S10
N    No Carrier Detected
n    No Dial Tone Detected
O    OK, Valid Command Received
R    Ringing
r     Ringback Tone Detected
t     Dial Tone Detected
^     Kissoff Tone Detection Required
,     Dialing Complete     

SIA Format: The SIA Format is selected with the command AT-A2<CR>.  With SIA Format selected a modified dialing command is used to transfer the SIA formatted message see command below.

ATDxx!2YYYY<CR> or ATD!xxx!2yyyy<CR>

In the above command xxx represents the number to be dialed.  The d identifies the digits that follow as SIA formatted data. The characters YYYY represent the SIA fromatted message.  A maximum of 63 characters may be included in the Contact ID message.  Additional data can be sent using AT!2zzz. 

Other commands and registers are also used in the Contact ID messaging.  The AT-E and AT-Q commands determine how an Acknowledgement tone will be handled.  AT-R selects the SIA Format Column Parity calculation. S42, S61, S62, S7, S90, S92, S96, S99 and S102 control handshaking in SIA mode.

Contact ID mode also uses a unique set of responses as shown below.
b          Busy Tone Detected

E          Negative Acknowledgement Detected
N          No Carrier Detected
n          No Dial Tone Detected
O          OK, Valid Command Received
