Configuring the Modem
Before you can use the ARMC card’s modem, you must first configure it to receive
incoming calls and send outgoing calls.
Outgoing Calls

must configure the modem to send outgoing calls. Use the following steps to configure
the modem to send outgoing calls:

appears:
Locate the Internal Modem table. Use the following values:

highest available baud rate that your
Remote Access Server (RAS) or ISP supports.
Modem Init

modem to use. You can leave this field blank.
