Software Configuration
Communications software must be configured to work with the
MultiModemZPX-PCI, your computer, and the remote system it is
calling. Fortunately, most communications programs make the process
easy by providing a default initialization string to your modem as well
as defaults for most of the other required parameters. Some software
programs allow you to select your modem type from a menu. With this
method, initialization strings that correspond to a particular modem
type can be selected to operate optimally with the software the modem
is using.
Note: Refer to your respective software manuals for further
information on your communications software.
Other software programs require you to enter an initialization string in
the software modem setup screen. If this is the requirement in your
software application, enter the following command string to initialize
your modem: AT&F<cr> . This setting configures your modem to
operate with defaults set at the facotry. These settings work well with
most software packages.
