automatically sets the modem’s serial baud rate to match your computer’s and also sets the modem’s parity. It also clears the modem’s command buffer. Once you’re in terminal mode, enter AT followed by <CR> to check whether your modem is operational. If everything’s fine, your modem will respond OK.

Simple Operations

You can dial by using the ATD command and the phone number of the modem with which you wish to connect, e.g., ATD6127853500. Your modem will dial the number. A “scrambling” noise is heard as the modem negotiates the kind of connection it can make. Once the modems have settled on a common connection, a connect message on your computer’s video is displayed. To hang up a call, enter ATH0<CR>. Your modem will return on hook, just as if you had returned a phone’s handset to its cradle. Your video now displays OK, signifying that your modem is ready for your next command.

Software Configuration

Communications software must be configured to work with the modem, your computer, and the remote system it is calling. Fortunately, most communications programs make the process easy by providing a default initialization string to your modem as well as defaults for most of the other required parameters.

Some software programs allow you to select your modem type from a menu. By this method, initialization strings that correspond to a particular modem type can be selected to operate optimally with the software being used.

: See your respective software manual for further information on your communications software.
