Step 5
Verifying your connection
If you connected the modem to a computer, place the computer into terminal mode
and complete the configuration information required by the software.
Refer to your computer manual to find out the appropriate command to use.
Then use the following procedure to verify that your connections:
1. Type AT and press the Enter key. If your system is operating properly, your
modem sends an OK response to your screen and wait for your next command.
If you did not receive a response, make sure your computer is sending commands
to your modem. If this does not solve your problem, contact your computer dealer.
2. Use your communication software to prepare your computer to dial a call. Then
type AT D x phone number, where x is either T for touch-tone dialing or P for
pulse dialing and phone number is the telephone number that your modem is
using.
For example, if your modem is connected to the telephone line 555-2121 and
Touch-Tone dialing is supported in your calling area, type ATDT 5552121.
3. Press the Enter key. You should receive a BUSY response and you should hear
the busy signal through the modem speaker because the modem is calling itself.
Your modem is now ready for operation. Refer to the manual that came with your
communication software to begin communications. If you will be communicating
directly with your modem, or if you want to find out more about the modem's operation,
proceed to Chapter 2.
