COURIER HIGH SPEED MODEMS

Initiating Modem

1.If DIP switch 9 is OFF, set it ON so that it does not hang up on receipt of the +++ escape code. Issue an ATZ command to initiate the new switch setting.

2.Set the software to 2400 or 1200 bps. The ITU-T-specified RDL signals are defined only for connections at 2400 or 1200 bps.

3.Disable error control by setting the modem to &M0. Then establish a connection with the remote modem.

4.Bring the modem back to Command mode by sending it the escape code: one second of no data, three pluses (+++), and another second of no data.

5.When the OK result code appears, send the modem the following command:

ATS16=8 O

The modem enters RDL mode (S16=8), the MR status light flashes, and the modem goes back online (O command). Then it transmits the ITU-T-defined RDL signals, causing the remote modem to enter RDL mode.

6.Type any data at the keyboard. (Or send the test pattern.)

7.To end the test, send the modem the +++ escape code again to bring it back to Command mode.

8.When the modem sends the OK result, reset the modem to Data mode with the following command:

ATS16=0

The modem signals the responding modem that RDL testing is over. Terminate the call as you normally would, and reset the modem to its normal error control setting, &M4 or &M5.

Or, if you wish to resume data transmission with the remote modem, add the O command to the ATS16=0 string to return the modem online.
