5.3.4 Remote modem setup string
Remote modem setup string
Previous step:
Remote DIP switch settings (for configuration)
1. Connect the remote modem to your computer using a standard modem
cable.
2. Open the PowerWatch program and from the menu bar choose the COM
port that the modem is connected to.
The Modem dialog box will apear. Choose the Setup tab.
3. To choose a setup string, click the down arrow to the right of the Setup
String box. (A string is a series of commands.) The strings in this pulldown
menu are the default settings for US Robotics Sportster 14,400 modems.
The setup string for a remote US Robotics modem is:
AT&FE0Q1S0=1&C0&D0&H0&K0&M0&W .
Choose this string if you have a US Robotics modem. If you have another
model of modem check the modem's manual to see if you need to enter a
different setup string.
4. Click Set up Modem .
You will see a "Failed Setup String" message on the status bar at the bottom
of the window; this is normal. The modem response mode command Q1 tells
the modem not to respond to instructions.
5. To ensure that the setup string did work, change E0 to E1 and Q1 to Q0
temporarily, and send the string again (click
Set up Modem ).
If the modem understood the setup string the message that "Initialized modem
successfully" will be displayed on the status bar.
