When operational, the modem can therefore be in either mode; Data mode whereby data is transmitted across the computer via telephone lines and the command mode whereby the modem pays attention to the computer data to locate any commands and carries out all the identified commands. The modem is usually powered up, takes up the command mode and transmits the command to dial up a number.
