CONTROLLING AN EXTERNAL ANALOG
MODEM

You can enable and disable (control) an external modem with the Win-
dows 95/98 Tray Tool Menu (see Launching the Tray Tool on page 3-3)
or with VT-100 terminal emulation (discussed here). When the
Express 3000 enables the external modem port, the external analog
modem RTS and CTS lines directly switch over to the PC COM port.
This switching process allows the external analog modem to provide
flow control as normal. Once the modem is enabled, all further COM
activity transmits to the external analog modem. When the modem is
disabled, the ISDN terminal adapter within the Express 3000 process-
es all further COM port activity.

Controlling the Modem via Terminal Emulation

Another method of controlling an external analog modem is using a
VT-100 terminal emulation package such as HyperTerminal. First, de-
termine if the external analog modem is properly connected to the
Express 3000 by typing the AT command

AT!Z

and pressing the

Enter

key. If properly connected, the Express 3000 responds with the mes-
sage

MODEM FOUND

. If the external analog modem is not properly

connected, the Express 3000 responds with the message

NO MODEM

FOUND

.

Command

Function

AT_L1 <cr>

Enables external analog modem.

AT <cr>

OK response (sets modem baud rate).

ATI <cr>

Identifies the modem (verifies modem connected).

AT&C1 <cr>

Sets CD to normal.

AT&W <cr>

Saves settings.

AT_L0 <cr>

Disables external analog modem.

The

AT!Z

command is directed to the Express 3000, not the

analog modem itself. An

ERROR

occurs if the command is

sent while the external analog modem is enabled.
