Ultratec INTELE-MODEM - Manual (Page 8)

HOW TO USE YOUR INTELE–MODEM
1. Connect all the hardware.
2. Turn on your computer and load your communications software. If you need
more information on these first two steps, see page 3.
3. Turn on your Intele–Modem.
4. Use your software to dial or answer a call. Your software will also allow you
to change settings that determine how the modem operates. See your
communications software instructions for more information.
The rest of the information in this guide is for those who need to directly control their
modem. To do so, follow the above steps to enter terminal mode. Then, choose the
Intele–Menu command set or the Hayes command set. You must use one command set or
the other—you can’t intermix the two.
Intele–Menu command set ___________________________________
This is a special set of commands created by Ultratec to simplify controlling your
Intele–Modem. When you type your computer’s Escape Key followed by the Spacebar after
turning on the modem, the modem will display this line on your computer monitor:
Command (Press ? for help):
All commands are issued from this Command Line (see page 5).
Hayes command set _________________________________________
These are standard commands used by most computer modems. Ultratec has added
several special commands for use with Baudot code (see page 14).
Talking to the modem vs. another computer or TTY______________
No matter which command set you use, your Intele–Modem operates in two modes.
Issuing commands is done in command mode, whereas the actual communication with
another person takes place in on-line mode.
Command mode ____________________________________________
In command mode your modem receives instructions from you via the computer keyboard.
Sometimes command mode is referred to as “local” or “off-line” mode because you are
talking to the modem itself, rather than to another computer or TTY.
On-line mode_______________________________________________
In on-line mode, your modem serves as a bridge between your computer and another
computer or TTY, transmitting the messages that you and the other person type back and
forth.
How to switch between modes________________________________
How you switch modes depends on which command set you’re using. If you’ve using
Intele–Menu commands, use the Escape Key to enter command mode. After you’ve typed
the command you want, use the Enter Key to return to on-line mode.
If you’re using the Hayes Command Set, use the “escape sequence” to enter command
mode. This is the escape sequence: wait until no characters have been typed for at least
one second, type the + Key three times in a row (like this: +++), and then wait another
second. When you’re in command mode, switch back to on-line mode by issuing an ATO
command.
