Modem Setup Utility
This Utility allows you to configure different modems to suit communicating with Sharp
ECR's. Each setup can be stored in the database.
After the Preamble, each String (1 to 3) and the Postamble there is a Carriage Return
(except in the case of the Netcomm Factory Reset). NB The AT is added by the utility
when sending to the modem, so please don't add it to any strings you enter.
The Setup form has three sections;
Preamble:
This is the first string sent to the modem, and has some fixed settings - a Reset and
two Factory Resets (one supports the Netcomm &F.)
String 1 to String 3:
These are three separate strings that are sent to the register in order after the
Preamble. Some settings need to be completed on their own like the +MS command
in String 2 on the sample form.
Postamble:
This is the last thing sent to the Modem and is used for storing the profile in the
modem.
If you are programming a modem for use on a remote ECR, then setting the Baud Rate,
Parity, Data and Stop Bits is can be very important before programming the modem.
These settings are also stored with the setup in the database.
A setup can be as simple as doing a factory reset. In this case you leave String 1 to 3
blank and set nothing for the Postamble. There is a CheckBox for each of the 5 Strings to
send. You would normally Check these, except in cases where something you are
programming stops responses from the modem, like the string in String 3 below.
To program the modem, attach it to the Comm Port set on the form and press Program
