Chapter 3 - Software Configuration
Changing Default Parameters
The default values for the other parameters in modem configuration
menus rarely need changing. They typically include the dialing prefix
(ATDT for touch-tone service and ATDP for rotary service), the dialing
suffix (^M), the hang-up string (+++ATH0^M), and response
messages (
RING, NO CARRIER, BUSY, etc.). Communications
software with a host mode might also include an auto-answer string
(AT S0=1^M).
Configuring Software for Your Computer
You must configure your communications software to match your
computer’s configuration. If the MT2834ZPX is connected to the
COM2 communications port, you must tell the software you are using
COM2. Another important parameter is the serial port baud rate. This
is the speed at which your modem communicates with your computer,
not the speed at which your modem communicates with another
modem. When V.42bis data compression is enabled, you must have a
serial port baud rate four times the transmission speed of the modem
to optimize making data compression effective.
