Test the Power Connection __________________________________
You can turn on your modem by pushing the power switch button and
watch the front panel indicators. Depending on the setting of your
modem, the MR and other indicators should light up. If none is lit,
check the power connection for the modem.
Test the Telephone Line Connection __________________________
Once a telephone set is connected, you may test the line quality and
connections by lifting the telephone handset, listening for a clear dial
tone, and making several telephone calls. The calls shoud go through
well and the sound loud and clear. Otherwise, the line may be poor or
have a faulty connection.
Data Communications Software Packages _____________________
Your modem follows the industrial standard in the modem command
set. As a result, most of the popular communications software packages
off-the-shelf will work with it. You should select a software package
according to your application requirement.
Most popular communications software are provided with the
configuration named Initial-String or Dialing-Prefix. It is wise to check,
one by one, the commands in this string as they will be sent to
determine the modem characteristics each time prior to dialing.
Fax Communications Software Packages ______________________
Similar to data communication applications, you interact with the
modem through the fax communications software.
Your modem only supports Class 1 command set.
Error-Correction and Data Compression ______________________
Your modem supports the industrial standards of MNP 5 and ITU-T
(formerly called CCITT) V.42bis for error-correction and data
compression (ECDC). Both standards are capable of error-correction as
well. The modem will re-transmit a faulty data block when an error is
detected while receiving.
