b=0-3
which is the remote user profile number.
Remote profile read and write commands - *Rab and *Wab - only work on on-line condition. It
does not matter what speed and what mode the connection is. The remote modem must be set
to accept remote configuration by AT*F1. AT*F0 command will have the modem deny remote
configuration request. Because the modem uses remote digital loopback mode to request remote
configuration, remote digital loopback request must also be granted (AT&T4) on the remote
modem to accept remote configuration request.
Remote configuration can also be activated from U-1496 or U-1496R's LCD panel. The remote
modem is set to grant remote configuration by setting S36 bit 0 to 1. For the local modem, set
S36 bit 1 to 1 for read operation or 0 for write operation. Set S37 bit 0-3 to the remote profile
number and bit 4-7 to the local profile number. After the S-Register settings are done, activate
the remote configuration operation by going to DIAGNOSTIC menu and activating the REMOTE
CONFIGURATION submenu.
Batch mode remote configuration is convenient when you can preconfigure the remote modem
in one of the local modem's user profiles and you can configure the remote modem in one
action. It is particularly useful when there are many remote modems and a set of standard
configurations is available so you can store them into user profiles. You just need to configure
the remote modem into one of the standard configurations by activating the remote configuration
once.
CALLER NUMBER DELIVERY (CND)
Caller Number Delivery (CND), or commonly called Caller ID, is a new kind of phone service that
may be offered by your local phone company. Check your phone company for availability. You
must subscribe to it and usually pay an additional monthly service charge to have this service.
With CND service, the phone company central office will send the coded caller information to the
called station. This information is sent once between the first and second ring. U-1496 series
modems are equipped with the capability to decode this caller information and present it to the
connected computer/terminal during the second ring period as part of the call progress ring
message. The modem will also report the caller ID information if asked by command AT*T.
There are two kinds of caller information message formats sent by the phone company. One is
the single message format which includes date, time, and caller ID; the other is the multiple
message format which also includes the caller name as registered with the phone company.
S-Register S40 bit 2 is used to enable (1) or disable (0) the caller ID detection function. The
default is disable. Enable it only when you have this service and want to enable its detection.
Note that the caller ID message may confuse some communication software not expecting it.
For a single message format, the modem will present a ring message to the terminal as
RING
MM-DD hh:mm <Caller_ID>
RING
where MM is the two-digit month message, DD is the two-digit date message, hh is the hour and
mm is the minute of the time, and Caller_ID is the phone number of the caller.
Following is an example:
