You configure the modem by entering commands from the Attention (AT) command set and, if applicable, setting the configuration switches on the modem. Although the process to configure the modem may vary from one modem to another, configure your modem so that its resulting behavior is as follows:

Answers a call on the first ring

Disables both hardware and software flow control mechanisms

Ignores modem control signals DTR and RTS

Suppresses echoing of command mode input

Disables recognition of AT commands
