Setup for Communications Applications
Initialization Strings
If the LAN+Modem card is listed in your communications
software, the correct initialization strings will be used. If the
correct modem does not appear on the list, look in the
\SCRIPTS directory on
Installation Disk 1
for support files for
several widely used telecommunications applications.
Remember that you can generally use the factory- default
initialization string for the modem. This default setting will
work for most applications. If you need to reset your
modem to the factory defaults, use the AT command string
AT&F. For information on entering AT commands, see “AT
Commands” on page 40.
Making a Call with HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal is the resident telecommunication application
supplied with Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. This section
shows you how to place a call to 3Com Corporation's BBS.
Although 3Com Corporation does not charge for the
connection, there may be toll charges associated with the
phone call.
This procedure guides you through the steps to establish a
modem connection using HyperTerminal with Windows 95
or Windows NT 4.0:
1 Close any open applications you are not using. Be
especially sure to close any communication programs.
2 Click on Start/Programs/Accessories/HyperTerminal.
3 Double-click the HyperTerminal icon to open the New
Connection window.
4 In the Connection Description dialog box, type 3Com
BBS for the connection description and click OK.
5 In the Phone Number dialog box, type in 408 for the
Area Code and 980-8204 for the Phone Number.
6 In the Connect Using menu, be sure that you have
selected the 3Com Megahertz 10-100 + 56K PC Card.
If it does not appear, your modem is not installed
correctly.
