- ; AUTO CONFIGURE COMMAND FILE
-
- ; For unlisted modems: basic AT commands and
- ; responses, with "wildcarded" result codes.
-
- ; NOTE: Use this file if you are new to modems
- ; and also are unsure which actual modem command
- ; file to choose for your modem. There is no
- ; need to read the details which follow unless
- ; you are unable to successfully connect using
- ; this Auto Configure Command File.
-
- ; Last revision date: 10/25/95 (update this date
- ; if you edit this file--be sure to rename it to
- ; avoid later confusion).
-
- ; Refer to the Notes .mdm file TEMPLATE.MDM (A Sample
- ; Modem Command File) for a description of modem
- ; command files and how they work.
-
- ; This Auto Configure file directs Notes to use one
- ; of the listed so-called "Generic" Notes modem
- ; command files. Refer to one of these for a
- ; description of generic command files and how
- ; to customize them if needed.
-
- ; Use this command file ONLY if you need to require
- ; the software to automatically determine which
- ; generic command file to select to control a modem
- ; which is not listed by Lotus Notes. Generic
- ; command files are user-editable and contain
- ; instructions for use in the event of initial
- ; connection failure.
-
- ; Your modem vendor and/or your modem Users Manual
- ; can provide you with additional needed information
- ; in the event of unsuccessful connections. Be
- ; prepared to provide your vendor with the
- ; Notes-specific technical specifications available
- ; in TEMPLATE.MDM and any of the commented GEN*.MDM
- ; files.

-
- [files]
-
- ; This section includes complete Notes command files
- ; which the ATI command directs Note to use, thus
- ; .mdm files listed in this section should never
- ; themselves contain an INQUIRE (ATI) command. In
- ; other words, other a so-called auto-configure command
- ; file should never appear in a "[files]" section of
- ; an auto-configure file, since it would only direct
- ; Notes to yet another .mdm file.
-
- ; Most modems receiving an ATI (ATTENTION: INQUIRE)
- ; command, will return the product code for that modem,
- ; usuallybeginning with its maximum carrier speed (from
- ; 1200 bps through 14400 bps) phrased as the first two
- ; or, in the case of greater than 9600 bps, three
- ; digits (usually 12, 24, 96, 144, etc). The following
- ; files are the actual ones which Notes, upon receiving
- ; a product code response from a 12, or 24 Kbps modem
- ; after in INQUIRE command, might point to:
-
- gen12.mdm=12
- gen12.mdm=13
- gen24.mdm=24
-
- ; The response from the modem does not have to
- ; exactly match the appropriate "value" (the .mdm file
- ; which should be selected) to the left of the equal
- ; sign. It is sufficient for the value to the right of
- ; the equal sign to appear at the beginning of the
- ; modem's actual ATI response. Thus a modem response
- ; of "247" or "24731.2 NA" will cause the software to
- ; select the "gen24.mdm" command file (the rest of the
- ; response perhaps having meaning known only to the
- ; manufacturer). For the actual generic Notes .mdm
- ; files listed above, the first two response digits
- ; tell Notes to select the most likely file for the
- ; modem in question, by comparing the returned product
- ; code to each number to the right of the equal
- ; sign in the order listed. Thus, any modem capable of
- ; greater than 1200 bps, when returning a product code
- ; beginning with the next sequentially listed unique
- ; number as yet unmatched in the list, will cause Notes
- ; to choose the next associated file, or to move on to
- ; the next one, till a suitable match is achieved.
-
- ; The following unique ATI responses, interpreted by Notes
- ; from the modem, will all cause the highest speed generic
- ; .mdm file to be selected, because with one rare
- ; exception* (described below), the previously listed two-
- ; digit responses will all have been by-passed by Notes in
- ; the event of an unsuccessful search for a two-digit match:
-
- gen9614.mdm=9
- gen9614.mdm=1
- gen9614.mdm=2
- gen9614.mdm=3
-
- ; These will allow for speeds of 9600, 14400, and 28800 bps
- ; or higher (should higher speeds become common).
-
- ;=====================================================
- ; NOTE:
- ; *The rare exception to this rule is "gen9614.mdm=1",
- ; where the modem in question is what some manufacturers
- ; call a "turbo" modem, the predecessor of the V.32bis
- ; 14400 bps modem. So-called "turbos" often have a maximum
- ; speed of 12000 bps, and may return a product code of
- ; 120x-etc. If your "Turbo" modem is not listed, and performs
- ; excessively slowly during Notes use with Auto Configure,
- ; edit this command file such that the line "gen9614.mdm=12" has
- ; a semicolon before it (i.e., comment the line out, so that
- ; Notes cannot read it). This will allow the Notes code to
- ; "fall through" the choices to the first available match
- ; which is appropriate--"gen9614.mdm=1", thus pointing to the
- ; high-speed file.
