2. Model 3830 Modem Installation

To establish a connection with a remote modem, use the D (Dial) command. Refer to Chapter 4, AT Commands and S-Registers, for more information.

Recovering AT Commands

AT commands are issued from asynchronous terminals and personal computers. Certain dialing methods, such as V.25bis and synchronous operation, disable the use of AT commands and place the modem into a state known as Dumb mode. The Model 3830 is capable of normal operation when in Dumb mode. However, if the setting of a configuration option must be changed, it can only be accomplished using an AT command.

The AT Recovery command (AT***) places the modem into a temporary state that restores AT commands. When in this state, the modem's previous settings are retained except for the following configuration options:

The DTE Dialer Type configuration option (&M and &Q) is set to AT

The Async/Sync Mode configuration option (&M and &Q) is set to Async

The DSR Control configuration option (&S) is set to Forced On

The LSD Control configuration option (&C) is set to Forced On

If these settings are not appropriate, then change them to a setting compatible with your current application.

The procedures for an AT recovery using an asynchronous terminal or personal computer are listed in the following section. Read through these procedures before performing a recovery:

1.Turn the modem Off and then ON. The modem performs a power-up self-test in which all LEDs light. While this is running, repeatedly press the A key of your DTE's keyboard (or keep the key depressed if your keyboard automatically repeats characters that way). Keep doing this until A's (or a's) appear on your DTE screen. (You may use all uppercase or all lowercase characters.)

At least three consecutive A's must be entered within a 2-second time interval.
