Using the Modem with a PC and Async Communications Software
When using the modem with a PC, you need communications or terminal emulation software.
Communications software acts as an interface – with pull-down menus or graphics – between your
PC and modem, allowing you to perform modem operations from your PC.
It is unlikely that you will use AT commands directly to configure and test the modem. Some
communications software, however, may not support all of the modem’s configuration options or
may require you to issue commands to the modem directly.
Communications software packages that directly support the modem (where Raymar-Telenetics 3260
Modem, Codex 3260 Modem, or Motorola 3260 Modem is a selection within the package) support
the industry standard commands (AT, AT&) and the Raymar-Telenetics-enhanced commands (AT
*
),
making more knowledge of AT command syntax unnecessary.
Communications software packages that offer a Hayes-Compatible selection do not support Raymar-
Telenetics-enhanced commands: (AT
*
). In this case, you may enter AT
*
commands yourself, if
required by your application.
Where Do I Go from Here?
If your communications software package supports a 3260 Modem (or a comparable 3260
selection),
refer to:
•
Chapter 4, the “Communications Software Package Operating Notes” section.
•
Chapter 4, “Configuration Option Sets” section.
•
Appendix A to change configuration options. The
Reference Card
shows the complete
menu structure.
If your package does not support all of the modem’s configuration options, or requires you to
issue AT commands to the modem directly,
refer to:
•
Chapter 5 to learn AT command syntax.
•
Chapter 6 to resolve problems that you have isolated to the modem.
•
Communications software documentation.
If your package supports a
Hayes-Compatible
selection
, refer to:
•
Chapter 4, the “Communications Software Package Operating Notes: section.
•
Chapter 5 to learn AT command syntax.
•
For AT
*
configuration settings, refer to:
- Chapter 4, the “Configuration Option Sets” section.
- Appendix A to change configuration options. The Reference Card shows the
complete menu structure.
•
Chapter 6 to resolve problems that you have isolated to the modem.
