USING OTHER COMMUNICATIONS APPLICATIONS

Your Netopia ISDN PC Card works with any standard communications application that uses AT commands. When configuring your application, select the Netopia ISDN PC Card, if it is listed. If no special setting is available for Netopia, select a Hayes-compatible modem configuration, such as “generic modem”. Refer to your communications software documentation for more details.

DIALING WITH AT COMMANDS

Communications applications communicate with the Netopia ISDN PC Card using standard AT commands. When you place a call from your computer, the Netopia ISDN PC Card recognizes the AT command ATD to dial a digital ISDN data call. Correct examples of outgoing circuit-switched ISDN modem commands with dial strings are shown below.

■Dialing with spaces: AT D 1 800 555 1212

■Dialing without spaces: ATD18005551212

■Dialing with a 56 kbps line: ATDi18005551212

(Your telephone company will tell you if you have a 56 kbps line.)

■Dialing with Multilink PPP: ATD18005551212~18005551212

Note: In North America, most areas require you to dial ISDN calls with 11 digits (for example, 1-800-555-1212), even for local calls.
