Developing Modem Applications

Working with Modem Features

This section discusses key features of the GSP-1620 modem and how to use them programmatically in your application.

The features discussed in this section work with either packet data or asynchronous data. For packet-specific features, see Using Packet Data on page 5-21. For asynchronous-specific features, see Using Asynchronous Data on page 5-30.

Using Data and Control Ports

The GSP-1620 modem has two serial ports: one for Data and one for Control. The Data and Control ports make up the Rm interface, which is the serial interface between the DTE (your application) and the DCE (GSP-1620 modem), as shown in Figure 5-2.
