CHAPTER 4: Configuration
4. Configuration
The modem lets you set several parameters to suit your particular application. All
adjustments are done through the modem setup program, a user interface that
eliminates the need for setup diskettes, DIP-switch settings, or custom software.
The setup program is invoked by connecting the modem to any terminal program,
setting the baud rate for that terminal to 19,200 baud, and using a small pointed
object to press the Setup button on the front panel of the modem. While any
terminal that can be set to 19,200 baud will work, all examples for this manual were
generated using the Terminal application from Microsoft

When the setup program is invoked, all three LEDs on the modem’s front panel
will turn green and will remain green for the entire time the modem is in setup
mode. The main menu screen for the setup program is shown in Figure 4-1.
NOTE
The terms “modem” and “transceiver” are used interchangeably in the
text of the setup menu. Both terms refer to your Industrial Modem
