IBM H80 Series manual At&F

5.Does your modem command set include a test for V.42 error correction at the remote modem (often called “Auto-Reliable Mode”)?

If Yes, disable this test. You can use sample configuration files

/usr/share/modem_m0.cfg	or/usr/share/modem_m1.cfg	as models		to	help
you create a file for your particular modem. See			“Customizing			the Modem
Configuration Files”	on page 180 for more	information.	Go	to	step	7.

If No, go to step 6.

6. Does your modem respond to:

ŸAT&F reset command

	or
Ÿ	AT&F n	reset commands, wheren can		be 0, 1, and so on?
If	AT&F,	configurationmodem_ffile.cfg	is	recommended.
If AT&Fn , configurationmodemfilef0.cfg				ormodem_f1.cfg	is	recommended,
depending		on which provides	the	hardware	flow	control profile.

7. You have completed selection of the configuration file.

If

your

modem

configuration

selection

is not available

in

the

Service

Processor

Modem Configuration Menu, you must access it through the Configure Remote

Maintenance

Policy

Service Aid.

If you find it necessary

to adjust any of these configuration files, use

provided

with your

modem

to

accomplish that task. It is recommended you

select settings

that

enable

hardware

flow control and respond to DTR.

Note:

Some

older

modems

do

not respond X0toor&R1the commands.

Edit

out these commands from the

modem

configuration

file

if

yours

is

such

a

modem. See

your

modem

manual

for more

information.

Some

modems,

such

as

the

IBM

7857-017,

are

not designed

for

the

paging

function.

Although

they

can be used for paging, they return an error message when they

not

get

the

expected

response

from another modem. Therefore, even though the

paging was successful, the error message

causes

the

Service Processor

to retry,

continuing

to

place

pager

calls

for the number of retries

specified

in

the Call-O

Policy

Setup

Menu.

These

retries

result

in

redundant pages.
