2.3Installing PhoneTools, the Data Communications Software

Data communications software is designed to send and receive messages. Multi-Tech includes a data communications software program, PhoneTools, with your modem. However, the modem will work with any data communications software.

To install PhoneTools, insert the MT2834BA/BL CD in you CD-ROM drive and click the PhoneTools icon. You will be asked to choose your language. The software will then automatically load onto your PC.

2.4Is Your Modem Ready for Use?

As soon as you have connected power to the modem, if you are an experienced modem user, you may simply want to check your modem’s settings for data compression, error correction, and so on. You may find that you can get moving quite quickly if you just issue an ATL5, ATL6 and an ATL7 command. These commands list how your modem is currently configured. If you come across a setting you’re unsure of, refer to Chapters 5 and 6 of the User Guide for AT command and S-Register explanations and defaults.

If you’re a novice, refer to Chapter 3 of the User Guide to learn about the basics of data communications.
