Establishing a Circuit-Switched Data (CSD) Connection

A Circuit-Switched Data Connection makes the wireless modem work like a regular analog modem. You must have CSD service in order to make a CSD call.

Establish a Connection: Using HyperTerminal or a terminal application, you can establish a CSD connection by entering the following command: ATD<phone number>

	Notes:
	•	The phone number you are calling is entered between the displayed
		brackets. Do not type additional brackets. For example, type only ATD
		8585551212. 8285551212 is typed between the brackets.
	•	This command tells the modem to inform the wireless network that you are
		initiating a CSD modem call. If you are dialing to another modem, the
		remote modem should answer and a connection between the two modems
		will be established. If you include a semi-colon (;) at the end of the dialing
		string, the modem will instead initiate a Voice call to the phone number
		dialed.
Disconnect:	Type: +++
	Wait about two seconds to see an OK response.
	Then type: ATH
	Note: +++ is the escape sequence and ATH is the Hang-up command.

Answering a Circuit-Switched Data (CSD) Connection

Establish A Connection: Using HyperTerminal or a terminal application, enter the following command:

	AT+CICB=0 <cr> This sets the modem to answer in data mode.

	answer the call.

	of rings entered. x stand for the number rings.
	Then call into the modem by dialing the number provided to you by the carrier.
