Basic Modem Setup
Introduction
To operate the modem using mostly pre-configured options (an option
set ), follow the instructions here. To set advanced options, follow the
instructions in the next chapter.
Before You Start
To get started, you’ll need:
• A computer, cabled to the modem
• A communications program, which may be:
— A general-purpose program to dial into an on-line service,
using asynchronous (async) protocols
— A remote control program to operate a host computer or
access a host network, using synchronous (sync) or async
protocols
(You do not need a communications program to configure a
modem that has the four-button/LCD front panel.)
If you don’t know which type of communications you’ll use, check with
your network administrator.
