3. Ensure error-free transmission.

To configure the modem to use a standard error detection pro-
tocol, type

A T & M 4

and press Enter.

4. Save the setup.

To save the setup in non-volatile memory so it will load when
the modem is turned on, type

A T & W

and press Enter.

NOTE:

If you are NOT using the US Robotics Courier V. Everything, set

the field modem to operate in quiet mode. Quiet mode ensures that

the DriveRight unit does not interpret chance modem responses as

commands. Type

A T E Q 1 W

and press Enter. You will not receive an OK after this command

(nor would you see your commands echoed in the HyperTerminal

window if you continued to enter them) because the modem is in

quiet mode.

5. Exit HyperTerminal.

6. Test the field modem.

To test the field modem, execute a download. It may be help-
ful, for this first download, to have the field modem and host
computer in the same room so you can see both at once - in
which case, you need two separate phone lines. However, if
two lines are not possible, simply execute a download “from
the field” as a driver would.

See the following section for instructions on executing a down-
load. If the download fails, see the troubleshooters on page 7.

Executing a Download

Executing a download is quite simple once the field modem is pre-
programmed, but it does require some actions both on the host com-
puter and in the field.
