External Modem Commands

Possible Settings: Disable, AT

Default Setting: Disable

Specifies the type of commands to be sent over the COM port.

Disable ± Commands will not be sent over the COM port.

AT ± Standard Attention (AT) Commands are sent over the COM port to control the external device. All AT command strings will end with a carriage return (hex 0x0D) and a line feed (hex 0x0A).

CAUTION: Do not use this setting if you have an asynchronous terminal connected to the COM port.

Dial-In Access

Possible Settings: Enable, Disable

Default Setting: Enable

Controls whether external devices can dial-in to the FrameSaver unit through the COM port (based on the Port Use option setting).
