Basic Modem Operation 23 Non-Volatile Memory Your modem has an amount of memory set aside for storing user information such as frequently used phone numbers and default command settings. The latter is particularly useful when using your modem to call a variety of different locations that require different settings. For this reason, your modem provi[...]

24 Basic Modem Operation Saving Settings and User Profiles There are some cases where you may wish to save the settings you have made as the default settings that are recalled when your modem is powered up. The AT&WZ command selects the current settings as the power-on profile. There are four profiles that can be changed by the user, and one fa[...]

Leased-Line Dial Backup When a leased-li[...]

38 Leased Line Operation The originating modem will try to dial the number up to nine times or until a 3-minute time-out is activated. If the dial backup attempt fails, the originating modem will go back to try the leased line connection. If this fails, it will try the dial-up line again. It will try these two alternatives indefinitely. If the dial[...]

Special Functions 39 6 Special Functions This chapter describes special features of the U-336R/RE, and offers instructions on how each is used. Security Functions Your modem provides security that prevents unauthorized users from making connections. Two types of security functions are provided. • Type 1 security is used when the remote modem is a[...]

40 Special Functions • With level 1 security , the local modem will maintain the connection if the password is OK, otherwise the line disconnected. • With level 2 security , redial the phone number corresponding to the dial-in password. The line simply disconnects if the password does not match. User Passwords Fifty user passwords may be define[...]

Special Functions 41 The following commands will enable different types and Verify: (Enter the new supervisor password again) ******** OK The command AT*Hn will modify the nth user password. You will be prompted to enter the supervisor password first and then be prompted to enter the nth user password. Levels of security : Command Function *G0 Disa[...]

42 Special Functions Remote Configuration Remote configuration for your modem is provided as a profile by profile batch mode. When on-line, the remote modem ’ s current configuration or one of its profiles can be read into one of the local modem ’ s user profiles. This profile is modified locally and the line can be disconnected during this tim[...]

Special Functions 43 The remote profile read and write commands - *Rab and *Wab - only work in the on-line condition. The connection speed and mode do not matter. The remote modem must be set to accept remote configuration by executing the AT*F1 command. The AT*F0 command will set the modem up to deny remote configuration requests. Because the mode[...]

44 Special Functions There are two kinds of caller information message formats sent by the phone company: • One is the single message format which includes date, time, and caller ID. • The other is the multiple message format which also includes the caller name as registered with the phone company. The command ATS40.2= n is used to enable ( n=1[...]

Special Functions 45 Brent Harper RING In the multiple message format, if the caller ’ s number and name are available, the ring message will display both: RING TIME: MM-DD hh:mm CALLER NUMBER: <Caller_ID> CALLER NAME: <Caller_Name> RING Here is an example: RING TIME: 04-28 12:30 CALLER NUMBER: 7135551414 CALLER NAME: Jordan Chu RING [...]

Special Functions 47 ring types is the two-second ON part of the ring signal. It comprises a long, double short, or triple short ring. S-register S40 bits 3-6 are used for distinctive ring control. Each bit controls the answering of a particular ring type. Setting a bit to “ 1 ” (on) enables answering, setting it to “ 0 ” (off) rejects the [...]

48 Special Functions interfering with regular voice calls. When most users install a fax/modem at home, they won ’ t subscribe to an extra telephone line for occasional fax or data calls; however, fax/data calls do come in from time to time. If a user lets the fax/data software application answer, voice calls will be missed. On the other hand, if[...]

Special Functions 49 to press the START button, the caller can press a designated DTMF tone, which will activate the modem to report and subsequently be ordered to answer the fax call. Setting Up EDR The new EDR can be used at home where multiple phones are installed in parallel. Once this function is enabled, the modem will go into EDR mode after [...]

50 Special Functions EDR detection (either CNG or DTMF tones) will be disabled once detection occurs. However, a customer ’ s program might not answer because the setting of the software may require multiple rings to answer. S51 bits 0-1 control the number of rings that the modem will report once the CNG or DTMF tone is detected. The timing relat[...]

Special Functions 51 4. Set S51.2=1 to enable DTMF tone detection. It is reported as RING. If the remote fax machine does not generate the CNG tone, ask a fax caller through your answering machine message to press “ * ” (or any other DTMF key) if he or she wants to send a fax. Save the settings in a profile and reset the modem with AT&WZ .[...]
