26 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS 3. Software Configuration 3.1 Introduction Since your communications software configuration is affected by the capabilities of your computer , this chapter begins with a discussion of the limitations of some serial ports and how to identify them.
27 CHAPTER 3: Software Configuration Macintosh ® computers do not use UAR T s. The Macintosh SE through IIfx models use a Zilog ® Z8530 chip called a Serial Communications Controller , or SCC, that has a maximum speed of 57,600 bps.
28 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS 3.2.2 The 16550 U ART and Windows 3.1 Windows 3.1 may cause a loss of data when communicating at high speed, even with a 16550 UAR T installed.
29 CHAPTER 3: Software Configuration 3.3 Configuring Y our Software Communications software must be configured to work with your mo- dem, your computer , and the remote system it is calling.
30 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS 3.4 PC Initialization Strings W e recommend the following initialization string for a Series II Modem connected to a PC-compatible computer when sharing a l.
31 CHAPTER 3: Software Configuration This string selects the factory default parameters, then turns auto- answer off and stores that setting, along with all other current para- meters, in nonvolatile memory . The &F9 command causes the modem to load the values from nonvolatile memory the next time it receives the &F command.
32 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Chapter 3: Software Configuration Y ou can store the initialization string in nonvolatile memor y . With your communications software open and connected to the modem’ s COM port, type the initialization string in the terminal window , substituting a carriage return for ^M .
33 CHAPTER1: Specifications User Guide for Series II Modems 3.6.2 T erminal Emulation If you are accessing the remote computer as if from an on-site terminal, the keyboard codes used by your computer may not match the ones used by the remote computer .
34 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS The command to disable compression is A T &E14 <CR> . If you have an older UAR T or if you use your modem mostly for downloading long, compressed .
35 CHAPTER 4: Manual Dial and Automatic Answer 4. Manual Dial and Automatic Answer 4.1 Introduction W e’ll assume that yours is the ver y common application, where you are using a Series II Modem to dial up a remote computer .
36 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Entering AT automatically sets the modem’ s speed to match the speed of the computer or terminal, and also sets the modem’ s parity . The A T characters alert the modem that a command follows. The A T Command can also be used to clear the command buffer , by simply typing AT and hitting RETURN.
37 CHAPTER 4: Manual Dial and Automatic Answer 4.3 A utomatic Leased Line Restoral Operation (336+ Only) When the Series II Modem 336+ (MD1640A) is in Dial Backup mode, it periodically checks the leased line to see if it's operational and tries to restore the leased line if possible.
38 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS After a preset period of time (determined by S-Register S18), the modem automatically tries to restore the leased line.
39 CHAPTER 4: Manual Dial and Automatic Answer 4.6 Dial-Up Operation (336+ Only) When your Series II Modem 336+ (MD1640A) is used as a dial-up modem (DIP-Switch #10 in the UP position), it can both originate and answer calls. T o originate calls, you use the automatic dialing capability of the Modem's Command mode.
40 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Once you press the switch, the tone you hear should change to another pitch, or change into a rough-sounding scrambled noise. Y ou then replace the telephone handset in its cradle, and your data communications begins.
41 CHAPTER 4: Manual Dial and Automatic Answer 4.9 Manual Ans wering W e have shown that the Series II Modem can automatically answer incoming calls. The Modem can also answer manually , under your control.
42 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS When a call is dialed from the originating modem, the called modem responds to the ringing by switching into Answer mode and by turning on its RI (Ring Indicator , RS-232C/V .24 Pin 22) signal as the rings are detected.
43 CHAPTER 4: Manual Dial and Automatic Answer 4) Abort Timer . Answer Mode: When OH ( Of f Hook ) comes on, the called modem starts a forty-five-second timer and waits for a carrier signal from the originating modem. If carrier is not detected within this period, the modem disconnects (hangs up) and is ready for another call.
44 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS 5. Command Mode 5.1 Introduction A T commands are the means by which you, and your communications software, are able to communicate with and configure your modem. They enable you to establish, read, and modify parameters in addition to dialing.
45 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode 5.1.2 Functional Modes The Series II Modem can be in one of two functional states (see Figure 5-1 ). These are "Command mode" and "On-line mode" . (There is also an in- between state, "W ait-for-Car rier" , where the modem is out of Command mode but not yet really On-Line.
46 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Figure 5-1. Functional Modes 5.2 Summary of A T Commands A wide variety of autodial operations and modem options can be con- trolled when the Series II Modem is in Command Mode. Remember , nearly all commands begin with AT .

52 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS 5.4 Dialing Commands 5.4.1 Dialing Action Commands Dial Command D The letter D in a command causes the Series II Modem to dial the telephone number immediately following it. For example, if you enter A TD5551212 and hit RETURN, the Modem dials the number 555-1212.
53 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode This command would be used only if you had already reached a busy number after executing a normal dial command. Y ou simply enter A: (you need not enter A T , nor do you need to hit RETURN), and the modem will redial the number for you.
54 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS V oice/Data Dialing $VD Another alternate method of causing the Series II Modem to automatically dial is V oice/Data Dialing. With V oice/Data Dialing, the modem automatically dials the phone number stored in the N1 position of memory whenever the V oice/Data switch is toggled.
55 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode Nearly all telephone systems in the U.S. are now compatible with tone dialing. Since that is the faster method, you will probably choose the tone method for your dialing.
56 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS W ait f or Ne w Dial-T one W A W inserted in the dialing command causes the Series II Modem to wait for another dial tone, and not resume dialing until another dial tone is detected.
57 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode Flash On Hook ! Some switchboard systems react to a momentary On Hook. An exclamation mark inserted in the command causes the modem to “flash” on hook for a half of a second, as if you had held the switch hook button on a telephone down for a half second.
58 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS for at least one ringback and 5 seconds of silence. If a busy signal is detected, the Series II Modem hangs up and generates a BUSY result code. If it does not detect 5 seconds of silence, a NO ANSWER result code is generated after hanging up.
59 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode T o link the number in N1 to the number N2, simply enter A TN1N2 and hit RETURN. Several numbers can be linked in the same command. For example, you could link N1 to N2 to N3 to N4 by entering A TN1N2N3N4 and RETURN or you could link N1 to N2 and back to N1 and then back to N2 by entering A TN1N2N1N2 and RETURN.
60 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS 5.4.4 Configuration and Default Storage Commands Store Configuration & S-Register P arameter s in Non-V olatile Memory &W The Series II Modem can store configuration parameters and S-Register values in its nonvolatile read/write Random Access Memory (RAM) memory .
61 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode Many datacomm program issue the &F command automatically—the &F9 command allows the user to select their own factory defaults.
62 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS User Guide for Series II Modems The #V command gives the user the option of including V .32 terbo as part of the handshaking process in both Orignate and Answer modes. Entering A T#V0&W0<CR> includes the V .
63 CHAPTER1: Specifications Chap 5: Command Modeter 5.4.5 Command Response (Result Code) Commands Echo Command Mode Characters E If the Series II Modem is connected to a full-duplex computer , it may be necessary for the modem to be configured to echo back characters entered while in the Command Mode in order for them to be displayed.
64 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Result Codes (V erbose/T erse) V The V command controls whether the Series II Modem’ s result codes are displayed as word ( “verbose” ) or single digit ( “terse” ) messages.
65 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode Regarding the Series II Modem’ s method of dialing, the Modem can detect standard dial tones and busy signals. This capability ( “smart dialing” ) allows the modem to wait for a dial tone, and when one is detected, to begin dialing immediately .
66 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS 5.4.6 Phone Line Conditioning Commands Guard T ones &G The &G command is used to control the presence or absence of guard tones from the transmitter when in Answer mode, at either 1200 or 2400 bps. Guard tones are used in Europe and other areas for the modem to function in the telephone systems.
67 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode codings except under an unusual line condition called impulse noise. A T#T0 turns T rellis coding off and A T#T1 turns T rellis coding on (factory default). Fallbac k Modes When On-Line #F If line conditions deteriorate, the Series II Modem automatically drops its transmission speed ( “fallback” ).
68 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS A uto Speed Detect #A The function of the #A command is to detect and select the operational data rates (the “starting” speeds) with which the Series II Modem uses for initial handshake and speed selection.
69 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode Data T erminal Ready Contr ol &D Data T erminal Ready (DTR) on Pin 20 of the RS232C inter face is required in order for the Series II Modem to operate. A high DTR signal tells the modem that the device to which it is connected is active, or "ready" to communicate through the modem.
70 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Data Set Ready Contr ol &S The &S command allows you to control the status of the Data Set Ready signal (DSR, Pin 6) on the RS232C inter face.
71 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode Normal Mode &E0 In Normal mode of operation, the Series II Modem’ s V .42 error correc- tion capabilities are disabled, and the modem functions as a non-error - correcting modem.
72 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Reliable Mode &E2 In Reliable mode, the Series II Modem uses its V .42 error correction capabilities during all transmissions, and must be connected to another modem with a similar protocol activated (MNP or LAP-M).
73 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode This command is for Originate mode only . Answer mode still accepts MNP or LAP-M. #L3 Command In the prior commands, the modems use a two phase process to establish a V .
74 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS The $F command can be used to disable this fallback-to-Normal-due-to- CARRIAGE-RETURN feature. The Auto-Reliable fallback character ( $F ) and Auto Reliable.
75 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode V .42 Error Correction/300bps $E At 300 bps, error correction is not typically used. $E1 lets the Series II Modem function at 300 bps in either Normal ( &E0 ), Auto-Reliable ( &E1 ) or Reliable ( &E2 ) mode. $E0 , which is the Modem’s default, disables 300 bps/V .
76 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Figure 5-2. Flow Control and Pacing Hard ware Flow Contr ol &E4 With Hardware Flow Control, the modem uses its RS232C inter face to control the flow of data from the computer or terminal to which it is attached.
77 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode Xon/Xoff Flow Contr ol &E5 Xon/Xoff is the most commonly used method of flow control. Under this method, control characters known as “Xon” and “Xoff” are inserted by the modem into the data to start and stop the flow of data from the computer or terminal to which the modem is attached.
78 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS When two Series II Modems are connected in Normal mode (not using error correction), Xon/Xoff can be used to control the flow of data between the modems. Flow Control can be turned on or off with the Normal Mode Modem Flow Control commands.
79 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode connected in Reliable mode, a different method of modem flow control is used, and the commands for Normal Mode Modem Flow Control are ignored. When you are using Speed Conversion in Normal Mode, you must activate the modem’ s Normal Mode Modem Flow Control.
80 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Asynchr onous W ord Length Selection $EB (336 Onl y) The Series II Modem 336 (MD1641A) has an 11-bit capacity when operating asynchronously . The $EB command selects between 11-bit and 10-bit operation. A T$EB1 enables 11-bit format (1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit, and 1 stop bit).
81 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode 5.4.10 Compression, Error Correction, Flow Control, Pass-Thr ough and Pacing Commands The Series II Modem has a variety of commands to control its error correction and data compression options. These additional commands are listed below .
82 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Enq/Ack P acing Commands: &E8 = Enq/Ack method of pacing off* &E9 = Enq/Ack method of pacing on Normal Mode Modem Flow Contr ol Commands: &E10 =.
83 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode computer must be set at a fixed baud rate, regardless of whether the modem is communicating over the phone line at 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 14,400,19,200, 24,000, 28,800 or 33,600 bps.
84 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS The command to set the Modem Baud Rate is A T$MBn , where n can be 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14,400,19,200, 28,800 or 33,600 bps as listed below: A T$MB3.
85 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode same. This provides you with a convenient way to switch the serial port speed, and still make it easy to go back to the original speed automati- cally the next time the modem is powered up or reset with an AT Z command.
86 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS At the time of this writing, we have three screens of Help information (Screen #1, #2 and #3), and more screens may be added in the future.
87 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode Listing Current Operating P arameter s L5 L7 The L5 and L7 commands list the current operating parameters of your modem. This information can be very useful when you are changing communications software or when you are changing modem default settings.
88 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Figure 5-2. On-line diagnostics information. On or Off Hook H Y ou can make the Series II Modem hang up (go On Hook). Entering A TH1<CR> brings the line Off Hook, just as if you picked up the telephone set.
89 CHAPTER 5: Command Mode When this is done, the modem escapes to Command Mode, executes the command (if any), and then remain in Command mode. For example, to hang up the modem at the end of a call, enter +++A TH and hit RETURN. There is no need to incorporate pauses before and after the plus signs, as done in earlier modems.
90 SERIES II INTELLIGENT DA T A/F AX MODEMS Force Ans wer Mode A Y ou can force the Series II Modem into Answer mode with the modem’s A command. Entering ATA when in Command mode immediately brings your mo- dem off-hook, out of Command mode and into On-Line Answer mode, and causes it to transmit its carrier signal over the phone line.
