Modem Initialization String - Linear PERS-2400 PERSONAL EMERGENCY REPORTING SYSTEM RA-2400 Programming Manual

3.4

MODEM INITIALIZATION STRING

PURPOSE:
Used to choose whether the default or a custom initialization "string" is
sent to configure the modem (a "string" is a series of characters that are
commands for the modem). Modem's use initialization strings to setup
their speed, data type, and other options. The RA-2400 sends the
initialization string to the modem before using the modem to connect to
the PERS-2400.
NOTE: There are hundreds of models of modems available, each with
unique characteristics. Instead of using the default modem string,
some modems may perform better with a custom initialization string.
USER RESPONSE:
!
Leave USE DEFAULT INITIALIZATION STRING option selected
unless you are are having trouble connecting with your modem.
!
IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE CONNECTING WITH YOUR
MODEM, and it tests OK with the Windows modem test
diagnostics (see Section 1.5), try using a custom initialization
string. Various model modems have different requirements for
initialization strings. Refer to your modem's manual for the required
commands to place the modem in 300 BAUD BELL 103
configuration.
NOTE: When entering a custom initialization string, don't enter the
"AT" command. The RA-2400 program will do this automatically.
