Configuration - Screens and Control Fields

Control Fields on the Configuration Screens

Modem Initialization/Configuration

This field is used to enter configuration strings for the modem. It is a three-line field. Each string has a maximum of 40 characters. Blank lines will be skipped.

This setting is retained when the instrument is turned off.

To send these strings to the modem, select Send to Hardware under the Modem Configuration field.

Operating Considerations

An initial string containing the decimal equivalent of the escape character and the value of the connection time-out is automatically generated and sent when Send to Hardware is selected. Then the strings entered in this field are sent.

The first line is blank by default, but can be used to make settings such as baud rate if your modem is not set to autobaud detection. The second and third line’s default settings are common modem configuration strings, but they can be changed if they do not match your modem’s requirements. (Refer to you modem’s documentation for further information.)
