Modem String Settings

Select Modem

For most analog modems, the Standard Modem selection will work. However, you can click the button at the end of the field for a list of modems and their manufactures from which to select your modem. For additional information, refer to the Modem Settings information presented in the Software Installation and Configuration chapter of this User Guide.

Initial String

The most important modem string is the initialization string because your network device uses it to establish communications with your modem or ISDN TA. The modem initialization string displayed is the modem or ISDN TA initialization string entered in the Setup Wizard.

Important: There is no standard ISDN TA initialization string. If your ISDN TA is not included in the modem list, check your ISDN TA User’s Guide for information for the initialization string for an Asynchronous to Synchronous PPP connection. If you are using only one channel of your ISDN connection, you can enter the Async to Sync PPP initialization string. If you are bundling your connection channels, you’ll need to use a Multilink-PPP initialization string. You must also enter the two phone numbers in the Telephone Number field of the General Settings screen. Also, verify that your ISDN TA supports the dial-up string ATDT. Most ISDN TAs support ATDT, but some support ATD or ATDI.

Every ISP has a unique login interface screen. Check with your ISP to determine how your ISP requests information from you when using a PPP connection.

Note: You can create a simple dial-up connection to view your ISP interface log-in screen using Dial-Up Networking in Windows 95, 98, Me, NT or 2000.
