Chapter 3
Configuring the Modems
Total Control MP modems are factory configured to run under
hardware flow control. Once the unit is set up, nothing else
needs to be done—the unit is all ready to operate. However,
the modems can be configured for specialized systems or
situations.
The modems use a superset of the standard AT command set
for dial-up modems. The commands control configuration
options as well as modem operations such as diagnostic testing.
Typically, you’ll need to directly command the modems only
for initial configuration, and to write that to Non-Volatile
Random Access Memory (NVRAM) with the commands. After
that, the modems will perform without operator intervention.

Templates
Read Only Memory (ROM) templates in the MP modems
contain settings for configuration commands and S-Registers
that control the way the modems operate. By tailoring any one
or more of these, the modems can be programmed to meet
specific communications needs.
