- Setting up the ATI 2400 etc class 5 MNP modem.
-
-
- The ATI half-card 2400 baud modem is easy to set up. Set the
- modem switches (on the back of the slot bracket) for your serial port
- number, Com 1,2,3 or 4. Com 1 is the factory setting (default).
-
- Install the modem and start the Setup proceedure for your
- communications program. Enter the following initialization string in
- your software program's appropriate place to initialize the modem:
-
- AT&C1&D2&B1&K3&Q5S0=0W1&W0
-
- This string MUST be followed by a carriage return, so it will be
- necessary to find out what character your communication program uses
- to send a carriage return to the modem, and insert that character
- after the &W0 in the string above. For example, Procomm Plus uses ^M,
- and QModem uses {.
-
- In addition to the above initialization string, it is necessary
- to make sure that the modem Hangup string is set as ~~~+++~~~ATH0 and
- is similarly followed by the appropriate characters for a carriage
- return. The tilde characters (~~~) and the plus characters in front
- of the hangup string create a pause during which the modem will have a
- chance to settle any prior activity before resetting itself and
- disconnecting. The tilde character is typed by most keyboards as a
- Shift-reverse appostrophy.
-
- Where changeable, the most important parameters in your
- communications software program to set are as follows:
-
- AUTO BAUD DETECT must be set to - OFF.
- DROP DTR TO HANGUP must be set to - YES.
- SEND INITIALIZATION STRING IF CD IS HIGH must be set to - YES.
- SOFTWARE FLOW CONTROL must be set to - OFF.
- HARDWARE FLOW CONTROL must be set to - ON.
-
- In Procomm, it is necessary to change the Modem Result Messages
- for 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 Baud. Just Delete whatever result
- messages are presently entered, and replace them, in capital letters,
- with the word:
-
- CONNECT
-
- The next step is to set the Line/Port setup parameter (Alt P in
- Procomm) in your communications program to 9600 baud.
-
- Similarly, set the Baud speed in your dialing directory entries
- for 9600 Baud.
-
- Well, now you're ready to go!
- So, Happy Modeming!
-
-
-
-
- NOTES:
-
- Entering AT&V in the communications screen of your program will
- cause a display of the active configuration of the modem to appear on
- screen, as well as the parameters stored in profiles 0 & 1.
-
- If it is necessary to resolve connections which are confused by
- MNP, you can turn off MNP by entering AT&Q0 in the communications
- screen. Some .
- ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- Entering ATL3 in the comunications screen, or adding L3 to the
- initialization string above, will set the modem speaker volume to
- loud.
-
- Entering ATS11=50 will in the comunications screen, or adding
- S11=50 to the initialization string above, will speed up dialing on a
- touch-tone phone.
