f - Modem String
This selection lets you store a modem string for the port. This is a character string that
the port uses to send setup commands to the modem.
Format:
PORT n> F
[ENTER]
The following prompt will appear on your display:
Enter modem setup string (<=30 chars.): _
The following control codes may be embedded into the modem string:
\N
Insert a carriage return.
\D
Wait until carrier is detected or 60 seconds has passed, If carrier is detected,
pause for another 5 seconds.
\,
Pause 5 seconds.
\.
Pause 60 seconds.
\+
Pause five seconds, send the "+++" modem escape code, and then pause
five
more seconds. This control code is used to send the escape code through
one
modem to another. (If you inserted the "+++" escape code into the modem
string, it would be intercepted by the first modem, placing it in the command
mode.)
\X
"X" is a number from 1 to 9. The modem string will be repeated this many
times or until a carrier is detected. The the RFL 9660 will parse the remainder
of the string.
A typical modem string is shown below:
\+AT\X1 O\,
\+
This tells the RFL 9660 to pause five seconds, send
the "+++" modem escape code, and then pause five
more
seconds.
AT\X1
This tells the modem to process XON and XOFF flow
control characters, and pass then through to the local
or remote system. (See Section 13 for more
information on modem "AT" commands.)
O
This tells the modem to enter the on-line state. (This
command normally appears as "ATO," but the "AT" is
not required in this string because it already appears
as part of the previous command.)
\,
This tells the RFL 9660 to wait 5 more seconds.
Once you have entered the modem string, press the
[ENTER]
key.
