DriveRight FMS User's manual
1. Take the modem out of the box and check that the DIP switches are set in the following
way:
Switch Number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Switch Setting: 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0
Note: 0 is short for OFF and 1 is short for ON. These DIP switches only apply to the US Robotics
Courier V. Everything modem.
2. Using the Remote Modem Kit, connect the remote modem to a known serial port, and
then turn the modem on. Make sure you use the gray phone cable included in the kit to go from
your serial port to the modem. The black phone cable included in the DriveRight Software kit will
not work for a modem.
3. Run the Hyper Terminal program. You can find the program in the Start menu under
Programs/Accessories/Hyper Terminal. Click on one of the phones in the program group to start
the program.
4. Select "Properties" from he File menu and make sure you have the correct serial port
selected. If you are not sure, you will have to use trial and error. In most cases "Direct to COM1"
or "Direct to COM2" should work. The File/Save As command can be used to save these settings
under a name of your choice. You then can click on the phone with this name to start Hyper
Terminal next time.
5. Type the letters "AT" and press enter. If you get an OK back, you are communicating with
the modem. If you do not, type the following commands.
"ATE1V1Q" and press Enter
You should now be able to type "AT" and press enter and receive an OK back. You
should also be able to see the "A" and the "T" when you type them.
If the above test fails, check your connections and then try another COM port by
changing your selection in the Properties option in the File menu.
6. Enter the following commands to program the modem. You should receive an "OK" after
each one of the commands below unless stated otherwise.
"ATS13=16" and press Enter
Now, you will program the phone number to be dialed. In the example below, the host
computer is connected to 780-6455.
"AT&Z0=780-6455" and press Enter
Now the modem will dial this number when it is turned on.
"AT&W" and press Enter
This setup is now saved in non-volatile memory which is loaded when the modem is
turned on.
"AT&M4" and press Enter
This tells the modem to use a standard error detection protocol which should be used
to insure the data transfer is done error free.
"ATE0Q1" and press Enter
