Chapter 3 - Software Installation and Configuration
11. The Setup Wizard: Modem Settings dialog box displays.
The final step in configuring your RF802EW for basic operations is to define your modem
Manufacturer, Model and the DTE baudrate or speed of communication between the RF802EW’s
serial async port and your modem or ISDN TA.
Select your modem and baudrate as described on the following pages.
Note: If you do not have a device attached to the serial async port, use the default modem
values, and click Next.
13. To select your modem, in the Asynchronous port settings box, click . The system loads
modem information.
14. The Modem Initial Command dialog box displays.
Select your modem manufacturer, then select the model from the list provided. Click OK. If your
modem is not listed and you have a driver disk, click Have Disk... to install your modem.
Note: This setting configures the initial string of the asynchronous port on the RF802EW so that it
will know how to communicate with your modem. If you are using an analog modem and your
modem is not included in the selection list, in most cases, Standard Modem will work. If you are
using an ISDN TA, refer to the ISDN TA’s User Guide for information on the initialization and hang
up strings. Use RouteFinder Manager to enter modem strings.
14. The Setup Wizard: Modem Setting dialog box re-displays.
Use the Asynchronous port settings list to select the baudrate. Select the DTE speed (the
speed of communication between the asynchronous port of the RF802EW and the modem). For
DCE speed compression modems, this value can normally be set to about 4 times the speed of
your modem. Keep in mind that if you set the baudrate too high, the dial-up connection may fail.
Note: You may need to set a lower baudrate since the theoretical maximum connection speed
may not be attainable due to variations in quality of phone line and ISP connections.
