Configuring the Modem to Call a Remote Computer

To configure the modem to call a remote computer, perform the following procedure:

NOTE: Perform this procedure only after completing “Basic Modem Configuration” section of this chapter.

The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate characters that require keying in prior to pressing [ENTER].

1.Connect the modem to the PC through the serial port as described in the modem manufacturer’s manual .

2.Key in [A], [T], then press [ENTER].

3.Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).

NOTE: In steps 4 and 5, the “xxxxxxx” is the phone number of a remote computer. The phone number should include all local line and long distance access numbers needed to dial out. This number is limited to 32 characters.

Placing a “T” at the beginning of the number informs the modem to use tone dialing. For example, use “9” if needed for an outside line, “1” for long distance + (Area Code) + Number or whatever access codes are needed to dial the call directly. Add a “,” in the number anywhere that a delay is needed. This will cause a one-second delay. More than one delay may be added to the number; for example, enter “AT&Z0=T,9,,1 (Area Code) (Phone Number)”.

4.To program a group one number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [0] (zero), [=], [T], [,], [xxxxxxx], then press [ENTER].

5.To program a group two number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [1], [=], [T], [,], [xxxxxxx], then press [ENTER].

6.Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).

7.Key in [A], [T], [&], [W], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].

8.Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).

9.Connect a telephone line to the modem and test the modem by keying in [A], [T], [D], [S], [0] (zero), then pressing [ENTER].

10.The modem dials the telephone number stored in step 4 or 5. (The number is displayed on the terminal screen as it is dialed.) Repeat steps 4 (or 5) through 9 as necessary to modify the telephone number.

11.Confirm that the modem responds with “1” (one) when the connection is made.

NOTE: To set up a group one or group two pager number, refer to “Configuring the Modem to Call a Numeric Pager” section of this chapter.
