Determine the initialization string for OEM modems: This section assists you in
determining the appropriate initialization string for your OEM modem.
If you are going to use an OEM modem, you may need to use a trial-and-error
approach to determine the initialization string. The modem initialization string
commands and their meanings may not be appropriate for your modem. To
determine comparable functions, refer to the documentation that the modem
manufacturer provides.
Tip: To determine the initialization string, start with the basics such as just sending
the AT command. Most modems return a positive response and should activate the
line, even though connection data will probably not be exchanged. Add
commands, one or two at a time, and deactivate the line between attempts. When
you determine that enough commands have been added to support a true data
connection, test it using a PC setup as a local console through dial-up support that
is as close to your iSeries as possible. This allows you to monitor both sides of the
connection and support further debuging of the initialization string.
Modem initialization strings for the iSeries server and PC: Use this section to modify
the modem initialization strings for your iSeries server and PC according to your
modem type. Strings for modem types supported by IBM (7852, 7855, and 7857)
and for OEM modems are listed below.
Important: If you experience problems connecting to your iSeries in a local console
through dial-up configuration, you may have to add the appropriate initialization
string for the PC modem to negotiate. You may also have to connect at only 9600
bps. The initialization string is dependent on the modem and will differ from type
and model used.
See the following initilization strings for your modem:
v 7852
v 7855
v 7857
See the following initilization strings for your OEM modem:
v ZOOM
v Intel 144e FaxModem
v USRobotics Sportster 28.8
v Other OEM modems
Initilization strings for 7852: For the 7852-400 modem, the initialization string for
the iSeries system is:
AT&FE0M0X2S0=2
AT - ATTENTION
&F - LOAD FACTORY SET (SWITCH SET TO SYNC)
E0 - DISABLE ECHO
M0 - DISABLE SPEAKER
X2 - CHECK FOR DIAL TONE BEFORE DIALING
S0 = 2 SPECIFIES ANSWER ON SECOND RING
For the 7852-400 modem, the initialization string for the PC is:
60
iSeries: iSeries Access for Windows Operations Console
