Basic Modem Operation

Modem Configurations for Cellular Operation

The Trumpcard’s performance will be improved by modifying the standard (factory default) configuration. For reliable communications, it is also recommended that the Modem to which you are connecting also be MNP10 compatible. Using a MNP10 link will allow negotiation of the Modem link speeds based on current line conditions.

For a MNP10 to MNP10 link negotiation at 1200 bps the Trumpcard initialization string would be:

 

AT&F&C1&D2S95=44)M1*H1:E0

 

The other Modem, if a landline based Modem, can be initialized with:

 

AT&F&C1&D2S95=44

 

In this configuration the modems will first establish a MNP10 link at 1200

 

bps. They will then make a step up to 4800 bps and then step up to a final

 

speed based on the line conditions. The total connect time for this method

 

can be up to 60 seconds.

 

For a MNP10 to MNP10 link negotiation at 4800 bps (quick connect) the

 

Trumpcard initialization string would be:

 

AT&F&C1&D2S95=44)M1*H2:E0.

 

The other Modem if a landline based Modem can be initialized with

 

AT&F&C1&D2S95=44)M1@M18

 

In this configuration the modems will first establish a MNP10 link at 4800

 

bps and then step up to a final speed based on the line conditions. The

 

total connect time for this method can be up to 40 seconds.

 

For connecting to modems that do not support MNP10 the Trumpcard

 

initialization string would be

 

AT&F&C1&D2S95=44:E0%E2

 

which will result in the Trumpcard trying to establish the best possible link

 

speed. If it is found that connections cannot be reliably made, then it may

 

be necessary to force the Trumpcard connection to 4800 bps using the

 

initialization string

 

AT&F&C1&D2S95=44:E0%E2F6.

Note:

Refer to the [n command for details on how to combine cellular and

 

land based initialization strings.
