Configuring the Modem

Your modem normally is configured either through Windows or through the communication program you are using. The default settings work best for most purposes. See “Step 6: Install and Configure Your Software” in Chapter 2 for help in setting up your communication program.

You can also configure your modem directly by typing AT commands in the terminal window of a communication program. See Chapter 4 for descriptions of the modem’s AT commands.
