The 0’s in the initialization strings are zero’s!
INITIALIZE MODEM
The modem initialization is an alphanumeric string up to forty characters long that configures an external
modem connected to a SOLOIST-2S. Modem initialization strings are a constant source of anguish for
computer users everywhere. There are thousands of different models of modems with various baud,
compression, and error correction capabilities. It seems each one requires a different initialization string to
function optimally. This being the case, providence dictates using a modem for which the initialization string
is already known. The easiest way to do this is to purchase a modem from Adtec.
To enter the initialization string, press the mode key until the Serial Port screen appears then press UP.
Enter the characters by pressing Select and the up or down key then us the right or left key to move to the
next field. Press enter once the characters are entered.
Note:
If multiple SOLOIST-2S's are daisy chained together, they must all have identical Serial Port
settings. Only one SOLOIST-2S in the chain (preferably the one connected to the modem) should
have a modem initialization string.
NEVER ENTER THE MODEM INITIALIZATION STRING
INTO MORE THAN ONE SOLOIST-2S.
UNIT NAME
The name is a unique identifier (20 character alphanumeric ID) for each SOLOIST-2S. When multiple
SOLOIST-2SS’ are daisy chained together, a unique unit name must be set for each unit so each unit in the
chain can be uniquely addressed for communication. An example of a SOLOIST-2S Name might be
CNN.
The factory default name for each SOLOIST-2S unit is “SOLOIST-2S”. If the default name is not changed
and multiple SOLOIST-2S units are daisy chained together to a computer or modem, there will be no way to
individually communicate with a specific unit in the chain.
Each SOLOIST-2S must have a unique
unit name!
