Is Your Modem Ready for Use?

As soon as you have connected power to the modem, if you’re an experienced modem user, you may simply want to check your modem’s settings for data compression, error correction, and so on. You may find that you can get moving quite quickly if you just issue the AT&V<cr> command. This command lists how your modem is currently configured, the stored (user) profiles, and the first four stored telephone numbers. If you come across a setting you’re unsure of, see Chapter 3 of this manual for AT command and S-Register explanations and defaults.

If you’re a novice, please continue to the next sections of this chapter.

Operating Your Modem

You control your modem by issuing AT commands and setting S-Registers. Right now your modem is set up for the most typical user application, that is, as a traditional modem set to make a dial-up call to a remote installation where the call is answered automatically; therefore, you shouldn’t need to change the current default configuration. (If however, you know that your application does not follow this profile, see Chapter 3 for AT Commands and S-Registers.)

You will likely use your data communications software either to:

·enter “terminal” mode, where you can “speak most directly” to the modem by issuing AT commands, or to

·launch a datacomm session through a set of modem configurations which

you select and then associate with a target telephone number. Once you have created, saved, and named this set of information according to your connection needs and your datacomm software’s conventions, the software then simplifies your dialing. You need not reconfigure your modem nor run the risk of mistakenly keying-in incorrect information.

AT is the prefix for nearly all commands issued in terminal mode. AT stands for attention, and alerts the modem that a command follows. You may enter these commands with either upper- or lower-case characters. Entering AT
