14 Quick Start and Reference Guide
• • Set auto baud detect to OFF (or NO).
• Some programs ask “Send init if CD high?”, which
you should set to YES. Otherwise the modem may not
receive the proper initialization string.
• If your software suggests an initialization string for
this modem, you should use it. If this modem is not
listed by your software and no initialization string is
suggested, use the following initialization string:
AT &F
Note: If you are familiar with AT commands and you
save any settings in the modem’s nonvolatile
memory using the modem’s &W command, re-
move the &F from the initialization string. Oth-
erwise the contents of the initialization string
overrides the saved settings.
• • If the software does not provide a dial string, use
ATDT if your telephone line uses tone dialing (as most
do), or ATDP if the line uses pulse dialing.
• • If your telephone service includes Call Waiting that
you can temporarily suspend by pressing *70, include
ATDT*70, in the dial string. (Note: Be sure to type the
comma). For pulse dialing, use ATDT1170 at the be-
ginning of the dial string. For more information about
handling Call Waiting, contact your telephone com-
pany.
• If your fax software gives you the option of selecting
Class 1 or Class 2 fax drivers, select Class 2 if your
modem supports it. Class 2 may provide slightly faster
faxing. Otherwise select Class 1.
Using AT Commands
While using your software and modem you rarely, if ever,
need to send AT commands directly to the modem. If you
need to enter AT commands, you must do so from the
software’s terminal mode.
