Modem Initialization String Examples
The modem supports various commands in the initialization string. The examples
below are for use when the modem is used to receive incoming calls.
1. Enter the following string to force the modem to use the 1200 bps Bell 212A
quick-connect (this ensures the modem will answer incoming calls and
connect within nine seconds):
AT&F0 +MS=69,0,1200,1200 \N0 S0=1
2. This string will set the modem back to its default state of connecting with the
fastest possible baud rate between modems:
AT&F0 S0=1
For any initialization string, it is recommended that the &F0 be at the beginning of
the string.
After the meter is installed, and the internal modem is connected to the telephone
network, the Comm 1 module can be configured; use the meter’s front panel or
with Designer software. To learn how to connect the internal modem to the
telephone network, consult your meter’s Basic Setup and Installation Instructions.
NOTE
To learn what AT Commands are compatible with your meter, consult the technical note

Configuring the Comm 1 Module through the Front Panel
1. From the SELECT SETUP menu, choose QUICK SETUP > COMM 1.
2. Configure the COMM 1 communications module Baud Rate, Unit ID, and Protocol
setup registers to match your communications system.
3. Configure the initialization string for the internal modem using the ModemInit
register. Refer to “ModemInit Setup Register” on page 113.
Configuring the Comm 1 Module via Designer
Before you can configure the Comm 1 module in Designer you must add the meter
(with the internal modem) and a modem site to your WinPM.Net network.
Adding a Meter and a Modem Site to your WinPM.Net Network
In the Management Console, add the meter with the internal modem, and a
modem site to your WinPM.Net network. Describe how your remote modem is
wired and other communications information on the options screens.
On the Modem Site Options screen, be sure to include:
The server computer that will communicate with the remote modem.
Either before or after adding the Modem Site, you must add a dialout modem
to the server computer. The server computer dialout modem communicates to
the modem at the modem site. Refer to the WinPM.Net Getting Started guide to
learn how to add a dialout modem.
The remote modem telephone number.
