5.0 System Configuration
Before we proceed from here, let us back off a little bit. Although the WINC 2400C is a modem with a
wireless transceiver, it has been designed to be compatible with off-the-shelf commercially available
communications software typically used with conventional land-line modems. Consequently, we take for
grated that you already have the software to operate a land line modem in place, such as the PC
communications software Pcplus. Otherwise, you have to install the appropriate data communications
software into your computer before proceeding the configuration.
We now proceed to the configuration. There are two parts. The first part involves the enabling of PC or
terminal to communicate with the WINC 2400C. This can be achieved in 4 steps to be described below.
The next part is the concept of synchronous software configuration to be presented in section 5.1.
Please note, due to the popularity of MS-Windows, the Terminal in the Accessories of MS
Window 3.1 will be used in the following process as guidance.
Step 1: Activate your communication software
a. Running MS-Windows, and then activate the Terminal in Accessories.
b. Click the “Settings” ,and then activate the “Communications” dialog box.
Step 2: Configure your communication software to meet default value of configuration port on the WINC
2400C
a. Click on the available serial port from the “Connector” list,
b. Click on the 9600 from the “Baud Rate” list,
c. Click on “OK” return to the Terminal.
All selectable items in the communication dialog box will turn into active (high-lighted), if the
selected serial port is available on your computer. Otherwise, stop here and consult with a
computer set up specialist about setting up serial port for you.
Step 3: Communicate with WINC 2400C via AT command
a. Press the “Enter” key.
You should get an “ERROR” whenever you press the Enter key without AT commands.
b. Try type in “ATI0”
You should get response similar to the followings:
MODEM address: 2500155
Peer address : 3467777
Current channel: 0
(The MODEM address should match the right-most seven (7) digits of the serial number digit
found on the label affixed to the left side of the unit.)
After the configuration setup process above, the communications software will go into the local-
terminal or direct-connection mode. All AT commands for WINC 2400C will be sent to the
serial port directly, accepted and executed by WINC 2400C.
There is a possibility that you will get some funny characters or no response resulting from the
different baud rate settings on the communications software and the WINC 2400C. If this
happens, please reset the WINC 2400C back to the manufacturer’s default setting -- 9600 bps as
instructed below.
