Configuring the 4-Port Analog 56K Modem CPCI Adapter

Configuring the 4-Port Analog 56K Modem CPCI Adapter

This adapter is designed to be connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The country parameter sets the adapter so that it will operate in the telephone network of the specified country. The default country is Japan.

Note: For proper operation of this modem adapter, the box software must be at level AIS V3.3, PTF 01 or later. If the modem was already installed before this PTF is loaded, the user must reconfigure the modem to manually select the country of operation.

To configure this adapter using the CONFIG (talk 6) command line, you should add it to the 2212 as a device and specify the interface port and the country. To enable it using the Configuration Program, you should configure it as a switched modem adapter and select the country.

Important:

  1. The 4-Port Analog Modem adapter supports switched mode only. You should not select the leased mode option in the Configuration Program. If you do this, the adapter will not be enabled.
  2. The 4-Port Analog Modem Adapter supports DTMF dialing only. Pulse dialing is not supported.
  3. The 2212 provides the default value for the modem initialization string. You can make manual changes to this initialization string, using either the command line interface or the Configuration Program. However, the country code cannot be changed by modifying the modem initialization string using the command: %T19,0,country_code. If this command is added to the modem initialization string, the entire initialization string will be ignored and the modem will not be enabled.

Configuring the Adapter Using the Command Line Interface

First, from the talk 6 prompt (Config>), list the devices currently configured on the 2212. One device can be configured for each of the ports. Then, add the next device. Note that you are prompted to specify the country.

Example 1:

Adding 4-port Modem Adapter device in slot 2  port 4 as interface #4



Use "net 4" to configure 4-port Modem Adapter parameters



The statement: Use "net 4" to configure 4-port Modem Adapter parameters informs you that the router has assigned the new device to interface #4. Because Belgium has now been specified as the country, the adapter is now configured with the country code for Belgium. As shown in the next example, the command network 4 or net 4 from the Config> prompt now brings up the configuration prompt that is specific to port 4 of the 4-Port Analog Modem adapter. Because this adapter is a 4-Port Analog Modem in function, the router has configured the interface as a V.34 interface, as indicated by the new prompt: V.34 4-Port Modem Config 4> The list command shows that so far the default V.34 parameter values have been configured. For information about changing the V.34 parameters, refer to the Access Integration Services Software User's Guide. 

Example 3: 
Config>network 4

To change the country after the interface has been configured, use the set country country-name command at the V.34 4-Port Modem Config 4> prompt. The variable country-name is the name of one of the supported countries, as shown in Example 2. Use the list command at the same prompt to verify that the country has been changed. 



Configuring the Adapter Using the Configuration Program


The Configuration Program gives you the option of selecting switched or leased mode. Be sure to select switched mode because leased mode is not supported. The other parameters are the local network address name, the modem initialization string, the clock speed, and the country. The local network address name must be selected from among local network address names that have been configured when configuring V.34. If you change the local network address name, you are required to select a V.34 address that has previously been configured. 

The modem initialization string that is provided is the default. You can change it manually by typing the changes in the space provided in the Modem initialization field on the panel. Keep in mind that you cannot modify the country code by manually changing the command for the country code in the initialization string. 

A pull-down menu shows you all the countries that you can select.

AT Commands Reference


AT commands are issued to the modem to control the modem's operation and software configuration. AT commands can only be entered while the modem is in COMMAND mode. The format for entering AT commands is: 


Table 3 and Table 4 list all the valid result codes. 

In the following listing, all commands and command values accepted by the modem are shown; any entries other than those shown cause the ERROR result code.   


	
+++ Escape Sequence  
	
The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line command mode. While in on-line command mode, you may communicate directly to your modem using AT commands. Once you are finished, you may return to data mode using the ATO comma nd. For more information, see the O command in this list. 

A pause, the length of which is set by the escape guard time (S12), must be used after an escape sequence is issued. This pause prevents the modem from interpreting the escape sequence as data. The value of the escape sequence character may be changed using register S2. 
	
A/ Repeat Last Command  
	
This command repeats the last command string entered. Do not precede this command with an AT prefix or conclude it by pressing Enter. 
	
A Answer Command  
	
This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming call. 
	
Bn Communication Standard Setting  
	
This command determines ITU-T vs. Bell standard.  
	

		
B0:  
		
Selects ITU-T V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bits/s. 
		
B1:  
		
Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bits/s (default). 
		
B2:  
		
Unselects V.23 reverse channel (same as B3). 
		
B3:  
		
Unselects V.23 reverse channel (same as B2). 
		
B15:  
		
Selects V.21 when the modem is at 300 bits/s. 
		
B16:  
		
Selects Bell 103J when the modem is at 300 bits/s (default). 
	

	
	
Cn Carrier Control  
	
The modem will accept the C1 command without error in order to ensure backward compatibility with communications software that issues the C1 command. However, this modem does not support the C0 command. The C0 command may instruct some other modems n ot to send carrier (that is, it puts them in a receive-only mode).  
	

		
C0:  
		
Transmit carrier always off. 
		
C1:  
		
Normal transmit carrier switching. 
	

	
	
Dn Dial  
	
This command instructs the modem to begin the dialing sequence. The dial string (n, including modifiers and the telephone number) is entered after the ATD command. A dial string can be up to 40 characters long. Any digit or symbol (0-9, *, #, A, B, C, D) can be dialed as touch-tone digits. Characters such as spaces, hyphens, and parentheses do not count they are ignored by the modem and may be included in the dial string to enhance readability. 

The following can be used as dial string modifiers:  
	

		
L  
		
Redials last number. Should be the first character following ATD, ignored otherwise. 
		
T  
		
Touch-tone dialing (default). Note that pulse dialing is not supported. 
		
,  
		
Pause during dialing. Pause for time specified in Register S8 before processing the next character in the dial string. 
		
W  
		
Wait for dial tone. Modem waits for a second dial tone before processing the dial string. 
		
@  
		
Wait for quiet answer. Wait for five seconds of silence after dialing the number. If silence is not detected, the modem sends a NO ANSWER result code back to the user. 
		
!  
		
Hook flash. Causes the modem to go on-hook for 0.5 seconds and then return to off-hook. 
		
;  
		
Return to command mode. Causes the modem to return to command mode after dialing the number, without disconnecting the call. 
		
^  
		
Disable data calling tone transmission. 
		
S = n  
		
Dial a telephone number previously stored using the &Zn = x command (see the &Zn = x command for further information). The range of n is 0-3. 
		
$  
		
Bong tone detection. 
	

	
En Echo Command  
	
This command controls whether or not the characters entered from your computer keyboard are echoed back to your monitor while the modem is in command mode.  
	

		
E0:  
		
Disables echo to the computer. 
		
E1:  
		
Enables echo to the computer (default). 
	

	
	
Fn On-line Data Character Echo Command  
	
This command determines if the modem will echo data from the DTE. This modem does not support the F0 version of the command. However, the modem will accept F1, which may be issued by older communication software, to ensure backward compatibility.  
	

		
F0:  
		
On-line data character echo enabled (NOT SUPPORTED, ERROR). 
		
F1:  
		
On-line character echo disabled. 
	

	
	
Hn Hook Control  
	
This command instructs the modem to go on-hook to disconnect a call, or off-hook to make the phone line busy.  
	

		
H0:  
		
Modem goes on-hook (default). 
		
H1:  
		
Modem goes off-hook. 
	

	
	
In Request ID Information  
	
This command displays specific product information about the modem.  
	

		
I0:  
		
Returns default speed and controller firmware version (same as I3). 
		
I1:  
		
Calculates ROM check sum and displays it on the DTE (for example, 12AB). 
		
I2:

M3:  
		
The speaker is on until the carrier is detected, except while dialing. 
	

	
	
Nn Modulation Handshake  
	
This command controls whether or not the local modem performs a negotiated handshake at connection time with the remote modem when the communication speed of the two modems is different.  
	

		
N0:  
		
When originating or answering, this is for handshake only at the communication standard specified by S37 and the ATB command. 
		
N1:  
		
When originating or answering, begin the handshake only at the communication standard specified by S37 and the ATB command. During handshake, fallback to a lower speed may occur (default). 
	

	
	
On Return On-line to Data Mode   
	

		
O0:  
		
Instructs the modem to exit on-line command mode and return to data mode (see AT Escape Sequence, +++ at ***). 
		
O1:  
		
This command issues a retrain before returning to on-line data mode. 
		
O3:  
		
This command issues a rate renegotiation before returning to on-line data mode. 
	

	
	
Qn Result Code Control  
	
Result codes are informational messages sent from the modem and displayed on your monitor. Basic result codes are OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, and ERROR. The ATQ command allows the user to turn result codes on or off.  
	

		
Q0:  
		
Enables modem to send result codes to the computer (default). 
		
Q1:  
		
Disables modem from sending result codes to the computer. 
	

	
	
T Select Tone Dialing  
	
This command instructs the modem to send DTMF tones while dialing. Dialed digits are tone dialed until a P command or dial modifier is received. This is the default setting. 
	
Vn DCE Response Format

Xn Result Code Selection and Call Progress Monitoring  
	
This command enables tone detection options used in the dialing process. As these functions are chosen, the modem chip set's result codes are also affected. Therefore, this command is frequently used to control the modem chip set's responses. The pri mary function of this control is to control the modem chip set's call response capabilities.

S-Registers Reference


S-registers generally affect how the AT commands perform. Contents of the registers can be displayed or modified when the modem is in COMMAND mode. 

To display the value of an S-register: 

    
	
  1. Type: ATSn? where n is the register number. 
	
  2. Press: Enter 


To modify the value of an S-register: 

    
	
  1. Type: ATSn = r where n is the register number, and r is the new register value. 
	
  2. Press: Enter 


Only the registers listed in this document are supported. Any attempt to write to an undefined register can cause erratic operation of the modem, which may cause the modem to operate beyond the allowable limits. 

S-Registers Definitions



	
S0 Auto Answer Ring Number  
	
This register determines the number of rings the modem will count before automatically answering a call. Enter 0 (zero) if you do not want the modem to automatically answer at all. When disabled, the modem can only answer with an ATA command. 
	
	
S1 Ring Counter  
	
This register, ring counter, is read only. The value of S1 is incremented with each ring. If no rings occur over a six second interval, this register is cleared. 
	
	
S2 AT Escape Character (User Defined)  
	
This register determines the ASCII valued used for an escape sequence. The default is the + character. The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter command mode when on-line. Values greater than 127 disable the escape sequence. 
	
	
S3 Command Line Termination Character (User Defined)  
	
This register determines the ASCII values as the carriage return character. This character is used to end command lines and result codes. 
	
	
S4 Response Formatting Character (User Defined)  
	
This register determines the ASCII value used as the line feed character. The modem uses a line feed character in command mode when it responds to the computer. 
	
	
S8 Comma Dial Modifier Time  
	
This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when it encounters a comma (,) in the dial command string. 
	
	
S12 Escape Guard Time  
	
This register sets the value (in 20 ms increments) for the required pause after the escape sequence (default 1 s). 
	
	
S24 Timer to Control Sleep Mode  
	
This command displays the number of seconds of inactivity (no characters sent from the DTE, no RING) in the off-line command state before the modem places itself into standby mode. A value of zero prevents standby mode.  
								

									



	

		Note:  
		If a number between 1 and 4 is entered for this register, it will set the value to 5, and the inactivity before standby will be 5 seconds. This is done for compatibility with previous products which allowed time-outs down to 1 s.  




									

								

	
	
S37 Dial Line Rate (Default 0)  
	
	
S38 56K Dial Line Rate (Default 1)  
	
There are two S-registers for 56K. S38 sets the maximum 56K downstream speed that the modem attempts to connect. To disable 56K, set S38 to 0. S37 register is used to control the upstream V.34 rate. 
	
	
S109 V.90 Activation Mode  
	
This register determines the V.90 mode, either auto or deactivated.
