Hayes

In the context of computer science and information technology, „Hayes“ typically refers to the Hayes command set, also known as AT commands. This is a set of instructions used to control modems, named after the Hayes Microcomputer Products company, which popularized their use in the 1980s. The commands allow for tasks such as dialing a number, hanging up, configuring connection settings, and managing data transmission over telephone lines. The „AT“ in AT commands stands for „Attention,“ indicating that the commands are meant for the modem to pay attention to and execute. The Hayes command set played a significant role in the development of communication protocols and is still used in various forms even as technology has evolved.
