61 6 . Embedded Modem Guide Overview The internal modem built into your computer provides you with all the communications functionality you need to send and receive data and faxes, access e-mail, log onto your favorite bulletin board, or surf the Internet and popular on-line services. The internal modem has the following features: • 56 KBPS modem. • 14.4 KBPS fax performance (Class I and Class II). • Connectivity to data-ready Motorola cellular phones for wireless data transfer.
62 Using Your Modem Using Calling Cards This section describes how to: • Use your modem with your communications software The modem detects the “bong” sound you hear when you place a call using a calling card. To enable your modem to automatically enter your calling card number after the sound, use an ATDT command: • Confirm and/or reset the appropriate initialization string. This ensures optimum settings for data, fax, and speakerphone calls.
63 Distinctive Ring Wireline Connectivity If your telephone company is providing Distinctive Ring service, you can have the modem report the ring type to your computer. However, you must have a data communications software package that supports Distinctive Ring. Connecting the Modem Connect the standard phone cable to your analog phone outlet as follows: 1. Connect the cable to the RJ-11 jack on your computer. The AT+VDR? command disables Distinctive Ring. (This is the factory-default option.
64 Connecting to your Cellular Phone Once you have the appropriate cellular phone cable, connect the phone to the computer as follows: 1. Insert the cable into the cellular phone. • If you turn the phone off but leave it attached to the computer, it remains off until you place your next call. This helps conserve the phone’s battery power. • If both the RJ-11 and cellular phone cables are connected, the cellular phone is used to place the call. 2. Insert the other end of the cable into the computer. 3.
65 Using a Modem Pool Modem Troubleshooting Many cellular providers enhance their data service by providing data modem pools. A modem pool is a group of modems the cellular provider maintains to assist in translating data protocols between modems. Placing your calls through a modem pool will help you reach maximum cellular transmission rates. (The maximum rate is 14.4 KBPS; however, a typical real-world rate is 9600 BPS.
66 The modem disconnects prematurely. Excessive modem retrains. Make sure that the remote modem supports error correction. If it does not, set the modem for normal mode (AT\N) and retry the call. Disable auto-retrain using AT%G0. Retry call. Frequent retrains indicate a line problem. Contact your telephone company. The modem remains connected when the communication software is terminated. Set the modem to disconnect on drop of DTR, using AT&D2.
67 AT Commands AT commands, which are issued from an asynchronous DTE such as a computer, control the modem’s operation and software configuration. The following is a list of the basic assumptions made with AT commands. Basic Assumptions • AT commands can be typed in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed. • Most AT commands are preceded by the “AT” prefix. Commands such as “A/” and “+++”, which do not begin with AT, are so specified.
68 Local Character echo ON (modem displays keyboard commands). F0 F1* On-Line Echo Command. This is a non-functional command for compatibility across modems. Function enabled (NOT SUPPORTED, ERROR). Local echo OFF (remote system may send a remote echo of data it receives). T Switchhook Control - Provides control over the line relay. Modem goes on-hook (hangs up). Goes off-hook. Enable Tone Dialing. Instructs the modem to use DTMF tones while dialing.
69 AT& (ampersand) Commands &Cn &C0 &C1* &Dn &D0 &D1 &D2* &D3 &Fn &F0 &F5 &Gn &G0* &G1 &G2 &Kn &K0 &K3* &K4 &Mn Data Carrier Detect (DCD) Setting. Controls how the DCD or RLSD (receive line signal detect) state relates to the carrier from the remote modem. DCD always on. The state of the carrier from the remote modem is ignored. DCD turns on when the remote modem’s signal is detected, and off when the carrier signal is not detected. Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Option - Controls DTR operations. DTR ignored.
70 AT% (percent) Commands %Bn %B0 View numbers in blacklist. Displays the numbers for which the last call attempted in the past two hours failed. The ERROR result code appears in countries that do not require blacklisting. %Cn V.42bis/MNP5. Controls data compression. Online changes do not take effect until a disconnect occurs. Data compression disabled. Data compression enabled.
