Australian Customer Information Austel (The Australian Telecommunications Authority) requires you to be aware of the following information and warnings: Users may experience minor audio distortion when using this product. This distortion may be generated by the low bit rate for voice sampling. Some of the modem default settings have been selected to comply with Austel technical specifications. If you intend to change any default settings you must comply with the following rules: 1. The modem must not answer an incoming call less than two seconds after the first ring signal. As a Òruleof thumbÓ your modem should be set so it answers incoming calls after the second ring (ATS0=2). 2. If Busy signal detection is switched off, the modem must not attempt more than two automatic redials and must wait at least two seconds before redialling. 3. If Busy signal detection is switched on, the modem must not attempt more than nine automatic redials and must wait at least two seconds before redialling. 4. If, after redialling the maximum number of times, the modem is still unable to establish a connection you must wait 30 minutes before attempting to redial. 5. The use of Bell standard 103 and 212A is not permitted in Australia. Use of these modes will cause your modem to lose its permit status. Changing the default values of the modem, in such a way as to cause your modem to operate in a noncompliant manner when connected to a telecommunications network operated by a carrier, is contrary to the Telecommunications Act 1991 and may result in penalties of $12,000. New Zealand Customer Information New Zealand Telecom requires you to be aware of these important warnings: ...

Industrial Modem User Guide If your modem ever suffers physical damage that causes its internal parts to become exposed, it should be disconnected from the phone line immediately. The modem must then be repaired before reconnection to the phone line is permissible. Should it be necessary to physically move your modem, disconnect it from the phone line or earthing lead before disconnecting the power connection. When reconnecting your modem, reconnect the power or earthing lead before reconnecting it to the phone line. Some parameters required for compliance with TelecomÕs PTC Specifications are dependent on the equipment connected to the RS 232 port. The connected equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications: 1. Equipment connected to the RS 232 port shall be certified to meet the requirements of Reg. 18 of the New Zealand Wiring Regulations 1976. 2. When the user manually initiates a call, via equipment connected to the RS232 port, the equipment shall operate within the following restrictions: a. Not more than 5 call attempts shall be made to the same number within a one hour period. b. There shall be at least 60 seconds between call attempts. c. Not more than a total of 10 call attempts shall be made to the same number for any single manual call initiation. d. Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5 seconds apart. FAILURE TO MEET THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS MAY NEGATE THE USER RIGHTS UNDER THE TELECOM TERMS OF SERVICE. When operating in V.22bis or V.22 mode over some older telephone exchanges, it may be necessary to issue the &G2 command. Setting the S0 register (autoanswer) to S0 = 1 or to values greater than 5 will render this equipment noncompliant with the Telepermit requirements. This equipment does not provide a guard tone with the V.22 and V.22bis answer modes. In some circumstances this could cause interference with the telephone network signalling systems, and could result in lost calls. Telecom will not accept responsibility should such problems occur. Such occurrences will be rare. The preferred method is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this is faster than pulse (decadic) dialling, and is available on most New Zealand telephone exchanges. Where DTMF is not available and decadic must be used, your communications software must be set up to record numbers according to the following translation table as the modem is not directly compatible with the New Zealand (10N) Reverse dialling standard. Number to be dialled Number to program into computer ...

Industrial Modem User Guide Modem Features Power Down Feature S119 can be set with the number of seconds of no activity before the modem shuts down. The modem will not shut down if DTR is asserted, if the modem is connected, any key on the keyboard is pressed or an alarm switch is on. The modem will wake up if: · DTR is raised · there is a Ringing signal or · an alarm switch is asserted. S119 defaults to 0 (power down disabled). The modem draws almost no power when powered down. Dial and Talk Feature This feature enables a modem to alert, by spoken word, that an alarm situation at a remote site needs attention. The modems can be configured to dial up to 10 preset numbers and speak a stored message when one of two external switches are closed. These switches will connect to pins 12 and 7 (alarm 1) and pins 13 and 7 (alarm2) of the RS232 connector. An alarm condition is recognised when a short circuit is applied across either pair of pins, eg by use of a relay. By default to modem will ring stored number 0 if either alarm switch is closed. To set stored number 0 type: AT&Z0 = nnnnnnnnnn where nnnnnnnn is the phone number. You may store up to 10 numbers using &Z0 to &Z9. The numbers to ring for each alarm can be specified by the AT#ALM command: AT#ALM1=1,4,8,3 Means than if alarm switch 1 is pressed the modem should ring the stored numbers 1 then 4 then 8 then 3. AT#ALM2= 9 Means that if alarm switch 2 is pressed dial stored number 9. YML3913A 8 ...
Industrial Modem User Guide Voice Messaging System This feature can be installed into an IG6000 by downloading a vocabulary file to the modem to enable it to respond to DTMF tones from a remote modem. If this feature is enabled by using the #MEM command: AT#MEM1 Modem will answer in voice mode after S110 rings if DTR is low AT#MEM2 Modem will answer in voice mode after S110 rings regardless of DTR AT#MEM0 All voice features off Dial the modem and wait for it to answer. After the number of rings specified by S110 (default 4) the modem will answer the call and respond with "Leave a Message after the Beep". If you key in a DTMF digit during the time this message is played, the message will stop and you can complete entering the PIN number. The factory default PIN number is 1234. This can be changed by using the new #PIN command. AT#PINnn…nnn where nn…nnn is the pin number. Up to 10 digits of PIN number can be specified If you key in the correct PIN number the modem will say "OK" and ask for a command. You may key in 0 for a menu of available functions.

Industrial Modem User Guide Operating Modes Asynchronous Mode Asynchronous Mode is the normal default mode of the modem. Control and monitoring is performed by executing the AT commands using a PC fitted with suitable communications software. Synchronous Operation Your modem supports two synchronous modes. Mode 1 allows operation with computers which support asynchronous and synchronous communication on a single RS232 port. Mode 2 allows your modem to be operated with dedicated synchronous terminals. Although your modem can only operate over a single twowire connection, it will still perform fullduplex synchronous communication. Halfduplex operation could be simulated by controlling the state of the RTS and CTS signals. Terminal Speeds Your synchronous terminal or host should use the clock signals provided by the modem to synchronise transmit and receive data. The clock speed will represent the actual connection speed of the modem. + When synchronous mode is selected, your modem cannot operate in constant speed mode or use the error correction or data compression facilities of the modem. Only variable speed mode is available in synchronous connections (this refers to the modem's terminal speed). Line Speeds Your modem supports a number of synchronous line speeds. When operating in synchronous mode, your modem should always be configured with a locked, nonautoranging B setting (this refers to modem line speed). For V.34, the B setting only sets the maximum speed. The modem will automatically determine the highest usable speed for the line. Synchronous Mode 1 Synchronous mode 1 is selected with the &M1 command. · Type: AT&M1 <E> Your modem will enter synchronous mode whenever it successfully connects to a remote modem. You should also: · Type: AT&D2 <E> This allows hang up via your computerÕs DTR signal. To return to asynchronous operation: · Type: AT&M0 <E> Synchronous Mode 2 Synchronous mode 2 is selected with the &M2 command.
Industrial Modem User Guide When the terminal asserts the DTR signal (DTR makes an OFFON transition), your modem will dial stored phone number zero. The phone number may contain dial modifiers. To return to asynchronous mode: · Type: AT&M0 <E> Your modem will remain in asynchronous mode. Leased Line Operation A leased line, or private line, is a telephone line that permanently connects two or more locations. The leased line does not have any switching equipment associated with it. Leasedline operation with the modem is selected with the &L command. If you select leased line operation with the &L1 command, you must issue the ATA command to answer a call, and the ATD command to initiate a call. If you use &L2 or &L3 to select Auto leased line operation, you do not need to issue the ATA or ATD commands; &L2 selects Originate mode automatically and &L3 selects Answer mode automatically. To dial or answer, raise DTR; to hang up and return to local command state, lower DTR. + You will require a special phone cable (available from your dealer) to connect your modem to a leased line socket. The phone cable supplied with your modem is suitable for use with normal, dialup, voice (PSTN) lines. Before commencing leasedline communications, it is recommended that a nonautoranging B setting be specified. + If error correction is required, select a Reliable mode, not an AutoReliable mode. (See the \N command.) Autoranging and fallback are disabled in leasedline mode. Your modem will only attempt to connect using the communications standard specified by the B command and the terminal speed. Once a connection has been established, if your modem detects a loss of carrier it will continuously attempt to re establish the connection. If the modem is in auto leasedline operation and this configuration has ben stored in memory using the AT&W command, a timeout period of 10 seconds is available after power up to disable the leasedline mode via the AT&O command. Alternatively, this command can be sent with DTR low. YML3913A 12 ...
