Placing and Receiving Calls

This section illustrates how to place and receive a variety of calls with your 3Com Impact digital modem. The digital modem uses AT commands and S registers for call management. See Appendix A, “AT Command Set Overview,” for instructions on use of the AT command set, and Appendix B, “AT Commands, Registers, and Result Codes,” for a tabular summary of the AT command lines.

Placing ISDN Data Calls

When you need to place a call from your PC or Macintosh, the 3Com Impact digital modem recognizes the AT command ATD to dial a digital ISDN data call. Depending on the setting of register S60, 56 Kbps (default) or 64 Kbps

B channel transmission speeds are used. Correct examples of outgoing circuit-switched digital modem commands with dial strings are:

AT D 1 908 555 7891

ATD19085555555

Multilink PPP Calls With Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation

The 3Com Impact digital modem supports Multilink PPP, which allows the two B channels to be virtually linked, thereby allowing a maximum digital connection of 128 Kbps. Note that both your service and the one that you are dialing into must support Multilink PPP, or the virtual linking will not occur. Multilink PPP is enabled by default.

Multilink configuration is facilitated through registers S80, S81, S82, and S83. Additionally, dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) in multilink mode is configured in register S70. Register S80 enables (the default) or disables Multilink PPP operation.
