Setting Up Remote Terminals 4-15

Edition 2
6. Connect the power cord to the modem, and turn on the power to the modem. Refer to
the documentation that came with your modem for details.
7. Type AT and press Return from the remote SMT. Depending on the current modem
configuration, either OK or 0 appears on the screen. If either of these appears, skip to
step 10.
8. If nothing appears on the screen after you have pressed Return, watch the RD
(receive data) and the SD (send data) LEDs on the front of the modem as you type
AT E1. The RD and the SD LEDs should light as you enter the commands.
The modem is now configured to echo the keyboard commands. If the LEDs light as
the commands are typed, skip to step 10.
9. If the RD and SD LEDs do not light as you type the commands, make sure that the
cable between the modem and SMT is connected correctly. If the modem still does
not respond, make sure that the terminal or PC parameters are correctly configured,
such as serial-port configuration and the serial port number in the communications
software.
The modem connected to the remote terminal can retain the factory default settings
or it can be set to the user’s normal configuration.
10. Change the modem settings as required. On the terminal keyboard, type
AT&F&Y0&W0 and press Return to recall the factory defaults and write them to
profile 0. The only suggested settings other than the default settings for the Boca
14.4Kbps V.32bis modem are the commands ATE1&W0 to enable character echo,
and AT&K0 to disable local flow control.
Because the modem might be used for purposes other than SMT emulation, you can
configure the modem to be unique to your environment. Octel Communications
suggests that you use one of the profiles to store the settings for SMT emulation if the
modem will be used for purposes that require different settings.
11. Type AT&V and press Return to verify the modem settings by checking the modem
configuration. Refer to Figure 4-6 for the correct configuration values. Refer to the
Boca 14.4Kbps V.32bis MODEM manual for more information about configuring the
modem.
