Step 5: Clear Your Stored Paramenters

to it to clear out any stored parameters. You should also record the parameters that
are currently stored in your modem so you can reprogram it after flashing.

NT, you can use HyperTerminal. If you are using Windows 3.11, you can use
Windows Terminal.
2. In the program’s terminal window, type AT&V and press ENTER to list your
modem’s current parameters.
3. Record your parameters by saving the screens and sending them to your printer.
