Modem Initialization Scripts

An initialization string may be sent to any one of the
NETServer’s S-ports every time the port is reset (a modem
resets itself each time it disconnects). An initialization string can
contain any text that needs to be sent to a port at start up. For a
modem, the initialization string will usually contain AT com-
mands.

There is no standard list of what commands a modem initializa-
tion string should execute. Every system administrator will
have different needs for each modem. For example, an adminis-
trator with a number of remote dial in users who have a wide
range of modems of varying reliability may choose to force an
internal modem to a safe modulation like V.32 bis rather than
allow higher speed modulations. A separate initialization string
may be assigned to each port.
