AT Commands

Operations of a fax modem can be controlled by AT commands. These

commands give the advanced user an opportunity to control all the features

of the modem. A list of common AT commands based on the GSM 07.07

standard and supported by the Nokia 9290 Communicator is available on

the CD-ROM included in the sales package of your communicator.

DNS

Domain Name Service. An Internet service that translates domain names like

www.nokia.com into IP addresses like 192.100.124.195. Domain names are

easier to remember but this translation is needed because the Internet is

based on IP addresses.

Domain name and Host name

The terms “domain name” and “host name” are sometimes, slightly inaccurately,

used as synonyms. In a full domain name, e.g. www.forum.nokia.com, the

first part of the name is the name of the host, and the following parts are

names of domains to which the host belongs. Each host name corresponds

to a certain IP address. Host names are used because they are easier to

remember than IP addresses.
