MultiModemBL User Guide
Another asynchronous mode concern is the problem of connecting at a different speed than the
speed at which the serial port is set. If your modem port speed is different from the serial port speed,
you must either:
1) Enable speed conversion and have flow control on, or
2) Enable connect responses (with the ATX1 command) and change the serial baud rate
after receiving a connect message.
If the $VD1 command is entered when in Auto-Answer mode, the modem answers immediately upon
receiving the first ring.
There is no disconnect message (NO CARRIER) if a normal connection is made.
V.25bis Set-Up and Initialization
Before you operate your modem in the V.25bis mode, you need to make sure it is set up properly
(various RS-232 lines such as DSR and CTS act as specified in the V.25bis standard). Setup
involves proper DIP-Switch settings and soft-switches (software controlled conditions).
