9.3.2.1 Examine the Profile
Display the modem profile by entering the List Port Modem command.
Figure 9-3: Displaying Modem Configuration
A series of settings will be displayed. For example, the Attention string may be currently set to at, and Error
Correction may be enabled. Read through the configuration options discussed in Typical Modem
Configuration on page 9-13 and determine which options you’ll need to enable or disable to meet your
needs. Consult your modem’s documentation for the appropriate strings.
9.3.2.2 Edit the Init String
The Init string configures your modem at initialization. This string should do the following:
Note: The example strings given in Table 9-1 are not for all modems: consult your
documentation for appropriate commands.
If the Init string in your profile needs to be edited, use the Define Ports Modem Init command. The
following example uses the example strings from Table 9-1.
Figure 9-4: Sending Initialization String
Often, initialization commands are sent individually, prefaced by the modem’s Command Prefix string
(commonly “at”). In order for the SCS to correctly send the information to your modem, all commands must
be sent in one string. Do not include the Command Prefix string in the init string.
Note: DSR should always be on.
