Chapter 2 – Installation

Step 4: Configure the Modem for Your Country or Region – Global Product Only

Different countries have different requirements for how modems must function. Therefore, before you use your modem, you must configure it to match the defaults of the country/region in which you are using it. You must also do this if you move the modem to another country/region after it has been configured for the first country/region. You can use one of two configuration methods:

1.Use the Global Wizard to Configure Your Modem

2.Use AT Commands to Configure Your Modem

Using the Global Wizard to Configure Your Modem

The Global Wizard configuration utility is recommended for computers running Windows 95 or newer.

1.Insert the MultiModem Product CD into the CD-ROM drive. The Autorun menu should appear.

2.Click Initial Setup and Country/Region Selection.

3.Choose either:

Run Global Wizard from CD. This will not load the wizard onto your hard drive, or

Install Global Wizard on the HD. This will install the wizard onto your hard drive for future use.

4.The Global Wizard dialog box appeared. Click Next.

5.The Global Wizard searches for your modem and identifies it. Click Next.

6.Select the country/region in which the modem will be used. Click Next.

7.Review your country/region choice. If it is correct, click Next to configure the modem.

8.When Global Wizard announces that the parameters have been set, click Finish to exit.

Using AT Commands to Configure Your Modem

Non-Windows users can configure the modem using AT commands. You must enter these commands in your communication program’s terminal window.

1.Run a terminal emulation software.

2.To configure the modem for a specific country/region:

Type AT%T19,0,nn, where nn is the country/region code in hexadecimal notation. Click ENTER. The message OK displays.

3.To verify that the correct country/region has been configured, type:

ATI9 and click ENTER.

The country/region code displays:

 

 

Example:

Country/Region

AT Command (hexadecimal)

Country code (decimal)

 

Euro/NAM

AT%T19,0,34 (default)

52

A list of country/region codes can be found on the Multi-Tech Web site at:
