Making Your First Connection

Use the connection you created in the Hyper Terminal program to dial the ZyXEL BBS. If you are using a different terminal program, run the program according to the instructions provided with it.

Start the terminal program by double-clicking the Test Connection icon. When the terminal window appears, enter the dial command with ZyXEL’s BBS (+88635776274) as the phone number.

Type:

ATDT<Phone number> <enter>

The modem will go off-hook, dial the number, and after a few seconds of negotiation tones, you should be connected to our BBS.

You will receive a login message asking for your name. For the purposes of this example you need not continue. Just click the “disconnect” icon on the toolbar.
