Chapter 4 Application Examples
GENERAL
The 500 TA is suited for a variety of applications. Among other uses, the unit
can be configured to operate with a low-speed DTE using rate adaption or a
high-speed video-conferencing system using automatic DTR dialing.
This chapter describes common applications for which the 500 TA might be
used along with the AT command set programming steps necessary to properly
configure the unit. At the end of the chapter there is a call placement example.
If you wish to use LocalMenu, refer to
page 33 .
CONFIGURATION WITH ‘AT’ COMMAND SET
In order to use the AT command set, an asynchronous DTE (terminal) must be
connected to the EIA-232E serial port on the rear of the 500 TA. The unit is
factory configured to operate with AT commands. For more information about
AT commands refer to
page 27 .
The AT sequence of commands provided for each example must be entered
from your DTE in order to complete the configuration. The comment column
may indicate alternative choices for the parameter. You must press the ENTER
key after each command is entered. If ERROR is returned, check that you have
entered the correct syntax and value for the indicated parameter.
NOTE: The value of any parameter can be viewed by typing the AT syntax for
the parameter followed by a '?'. For example, the DTE Speed can be viewed by
typing AT@P2?
Using the Quick Setup Factory Profiles
To simplify the configuration process, the 500 TA has several built-in quick
setup factory profiles designed to meet a variety of applications. Find the
Quick Setup factory profile in
Appendix D which most resembles your appli-
cation, load it, modify specific options to customize the 500 TA to your appli-
cation, and then save the configuration to the stored profile. You will then be
ready to use your application if you have followed the instructions in the Net-
work Setup section to configure your unit with the proper network settings.
The following steps are all that are needed to accomplish this process.
