modem’s command buffer. Once you’re in terminal mode, enter AT followed

by to check whether your modem is operational. If everything’s fine,

your modem will respond OK.

Simple Operations

You can dial by using the ATD command and the phone number of the

modem with which you wish to connect, e.g., ATD6127853500. Your

modem will dial the number; a “scrambling” noise is heard as the modem

negotiates the kind of connection it can make, and once the modems have

settled on a common connection, a connect message on your computer’s

video is displayed. To hang up a call, enter ATH0. Your modem will

return on hook, just as if you had returned a phone’s handset to its cradle.

Your video now displays OK, signifying that your modem is ready for your

next command.

Software Configuration

Communications software must be configured to work with the

MultiModemZDX, your computer, and the remote system it is calling.

Fortunately, most communications programs make the process easy by

providing a default initialization string to your modem as well as defaults for

most of the other required parameters.

Some software programs allow you to select your modem type from a menu.

By this method, initialization strings that correspond to a particular modem

type can be selected to operate optimally with the software in use.

*: Refer to your respective software manual for further information on your

communications software.
