Changing Default Parameters

The default values for the other parameters in modem configuration menus rarely need changing. They
typically include the dialing prefix (

ATDT

for touch-tone service and

ATDP

for rotary service), the dialing

suffix (

^M

), the hang-up string (

+++)

”Response” then (

ATH0^M

), and response messages (

RING, NO

CARRIER, BUSY, etc.). Communications software with a host mode might also include an auto-answer
string (

AT S0=1^M

).

Macintosh Initialization

Macintosh computers cannot use RTS/CTS hardware flow control without a serial cable wired for
hardware control. The Macintosh 128 and 512 models cannot use RTS/CTS flow control at all. For those
Macintoshes turn off the default RTS/CTS hardware flow control, turn on XON/XOFF flow control, and
ignore DTR:

AT &F X4 &k4 &D0 ^M

For hardware flow control, use the following initialization string:

AT &F X4 &K3 &D0 ^M

Add

S0=0

to both strings to disable auto-answer if the MT5600BR-V92 is on a voice line.

You can store the initialization string in nonvolatile memory. With your communications software open and
connected to the modem’s COM port, type the initialization string in the terminal window, substituting a
carriage return for

^M

. To store the string, enter

AT &W0 .

Now you can initialize your modem with the following simple string:

AT Z ^M
