Configuring modem connection settings
Regardless of the terminal emulation environment you use, you must set the
connection speed to 115200, set the flow control to hardware (RTS/CTS), and set
the modem to answer on the first ring (auto-answer) with the command string:
ats0=1&w\r
. Some modems enable you to configure the modem to auto-answer
using DIP switch settings. Refer to your modem’s documentation for instructions.
This procedure provides instructions for configuring modem connection settings
using the HyperTerminal terminal emulation software.
To configure modem connection settings using HyperTerminal:
1
Start the HyperTerminal software.
The Connection Description dialog box opens (Figure 12) .
