Motorola V.34-SDC, and V.32bis, 326X V.34 manual Communications Software Package Operating Notes

Configuring the Modem

Overview

This chapter explains how to configure the modem, in conjunction with Chapter 3, Getting Started. Read Chapter 3 before continuing. Then select an option:

•If the application requires a communications software package, read the section, “Communications Software Package Operating Notes”.

•If you have previously installed the 326X in another application, the section “Preparing for Operation” explains how to reinitialize the modem memory so it can be installed in a new application.

•To configure quickly, the 326X Series Modem offers four preconfigured option sets. Each option set is tailored for an application and stored in the modem’s nonvolatile memory. Refer to the section “Configuration Option Sets” to determine if an option set is appropriate for your application.

•The following two sections provide examples of common 326X applications and tell you how to configure the modem for each application. These sections will help you to configure the modem quickly.

•If you are unfamiliar with the AT command set or the modem front panel, refer to the section “Remote Access Reset”, later in this chapter. Once this is done, you can use a remote modem to configure the local modem.

If the modem is part of a network and you have a Network Management System (NMS) installed, consult your network manager for configuration information.
