Appendix D: Dumb Mode Operation
Your modem has two methods of operating with your
computer. The commonly used method is “smart mode”, where
the computer issues “AT” commands to the modem to make it
dial and hang up. For computers which do not offer an
asynchronous port or cannot communicate synchronously
using V.25bis commands, dumb mode permits manual control
of your modem.
Setting Up your Modem
I n most instances, your modem will need to be configured
prior to entering Dumb mode. All configuration of your
modem is performed using the AT commands.
For example, if you wish to have your modem dial a stored
telephone number when the computer asserts (or “raises”) the
DTR signal, you must first store the telephone number in the
modem and select stored number dialing operation, using the
AT commands.
Hints for Unix Computers and Multiplexers
Many Unix computers and multiplexers which offer
synchronous communications ports cannot cope with the
response messages generated by the modem. For this reason,
you may wish to switch off response messages before you
connect your modem to the Unix computer or multiplexer.
