W&T TCP/IP Configuration Following the hardware installation, this section describes the logical integration of the LAN-Modem into the TCP/IP network. Assigning the IP address Setting the Subnet-Mask and Gateway You can obtain all the parameters from the system administrator of your network.
W&T TCP/IP Configuration 3.1 Assigning the IP using the „ARP“ command This method can only be used if the LAN-Modem does not yet have an IP address, i.e. the current entry is 0.0.0.0. To change an IP address, use one of the other methods described in this section or use the configuration menu via TELNET.
Page 17
W&T TCP/IP Configuration The LAN-Modem accepts the IP address of the first network packet sent to it as its own and saves it in non-volatile RAM. Every IP address must Only now is the Telnet connection established and the be used only once in the network.
W&T TCP/IP Configuration 3.2 Assigning the IP through the serial port After the LAN-Modem has been reset, a time window of approx. 1-2 seconds is provided during which you can assign a new IP address by entering at least three „x“. In contrast to the previously described using ARP, this serial path works regardless of whether the L A N - M o d e m a l r e a d y h a s a n I P a d d r e s s o r n o t .
W&T TCP/IP Configuration 3.2.1 Serially deactivating the DHCP-/BOOTP-Client The DHCP-/BOOTP function of the LAN-Modem can be turned off when serially assigning the IP address. We recommend doing this in all cases where it is not absolutely necessary to use DHCP/BOOTP to assign the IP. To deactivate the DHCP-/BOOTP client, attach the option „-0“...
W&T TCP/IP Configuration 3.3 Assigning the IP using an RARP server UNIX environments in particular often use the RARP protocol for centralized assignment of IP addresses. This means that TCP/IP devices that want to obtain an IP address send RARP requests with their Ethernet address as a broadcast over the network.
W&T TCP/IP Configuration 3.4 Assigning the IP using DHCP-/BOOTP protocol Many network use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration P r o t o c o l ) o r B O O T P f o r c e n t r a l i z e d a n d d y n a m i c assignment of IP addresses.
W&T TCP/IP Configuration After the administrator has made the necessary entries, the LAN-Modem will automatically obtain the desired IP address after each reset. To ensure the availability of the LAN-Mo- dem even should the DHCP/BOOTP server fail, the previous IP address is kept if no reply comes. In DHCP environments the IP address to be assigned must be reserved by means of a fixed link to the Ethernet address of the LAN-Modem.
Page 23
W&T TCP/IP Configuration • The serial port is used to assign the IP address for the LAN-Modem. By sending „xxx“ to the LAN-Modem during a restart, you arrive at the input mode for a new IP address. If you enter this followed by the string „-0“, the BOOTP client of the LAN-Modem will be deactivated (see Older Windows systems will only...
W&T TCP/IP Configuration 3.5 Configuring the subnet mask and gateway When working in routed environments, the LAN-Modem must be told the responsible router in addition to the subnet mask which is valid for the respective network segment. Valid values for both parameters can be obtained from your systems administrator.
Page 25
W&T TCP/IP Configuration The entry fields for the subnet mask and the gateway address are reached through the following menu path: 1. INFO Com Server 2. SETUP System 1. Setup TCP/IP 1. IP-Address 2. Set Password 2. Subnet Mask 3. SETUP Port 0 3.
W&T Modem Operation After the netework configuration is complete, the LAN-Modem behaves on the serial side just like a dial-up modem with an AT command set, except that the TCP/IP LAN takes the place of the telephone line. As far as the controlling application or controlling device is concerned, all that needs to happen is that the previously used telephone number is replaced by the IP address of the distant terminal.

W&T Modem Operation 4.4.9 Sn=x (AT[0–40]=[0–255]) = Set S register The LAN-Modem has 41 S registers (S0 to S40) which determine its operating behavior. The command Sn=x is used to overwrite the current contents, whereby „n“ specifies the desired register and „x“ the value to write in decimal format.
W&T Modem Operation The value of register S9 is adjusted to the value of S10 each time a connection is set up. 4.4.10 Vn (ATV[0|1]) = Result codes in plain text Default setting: 1 = ON This command specifies whether result returns from the LAN-Modem are to be numerical or in plain text.
W&T Modem Operation 4.4.11 Zn (ATZ[0|1]) = Reset the LAN-Modem The Zn command quits any active connection and resets the firmware of the LAN-Modem to the parameters stored in the non-volatile memory. By specifying „0“ or „1“ you can select one of the two available reset profiles (see also &Wn command).
W&T Modem Operation 4.4.13 &D (AT&C[0|1|2|3]) = Modem response to DTR option Default setting: 2 Defines the effect of a level change on the DTR input on the LAN-Modem. One of four functions may be selected: • &D0 The LAN-Modem ignores the signal. •...
W&T Modem Operation 4.4.15 &K (AT&K[0|3|4|5|6]) = Flow control Default setting: 3 = RTS/CTS This command determines the flow control between the LAN- Modem and the connected serial device: • &K0 (no handshake) Flow control is turned off. The LAN-Modem sends all data to the serial device regardless of the status of the handshake input RTS.
W&T Modem Operation • &K6 (RTS/CTS + Xon/Xoff) Flow control is handled by RTS/CTS and Xon/Xoff. The m o d e m g e n e r a t e s s i g n a l s f o r b o t h h a n d s h a k e procedures and allows itself to be prevented from continuing to send by means of Xoff or a returned RTS.

W&T Modem Operation 4.4.20 &Zn=x (AT&Z[0|1|2|3]=[IP address]) = Save destination IP address The LAN-Modem can save up to 4 destination IP addresses in its non-volatile memory, which can later be recalled using the fast dial function (Sn=x) of the dial command. Example: AT&Z1=172.16.2.2 IP address 172.16.2.2 is stored in memory location 1.
W&T Modem Operation 4.4.22 %Dn (AT%D[7|8]) = Number of data bits per character Default setting: 8 This command determines whether the serial character format works with 7 or 8 data bits. The %D command has a delayed effect. The first OK reply is still with the old data format.
W&T Modem Operation 4.4.24 %Sn (AT%S[1|2]) = Minimum number of stop bits between 2 characters Default setting: 1= 1 stop bit This command determines how many stop bits (minimum) appear between 2 serial characters. The %S command has a delayed effect. The first OK reply is still with the old data format.
W&T Modem Operation 4.4.26 ** (AT**) = Start flash update Updating the firmware or sending a configuration file must be introduced with the ** command. The LAN-Modem generates the following message and then expects the update data in Motorola S Record format. If no data are sent within 30s, the mode is automatically quit.

W&T Firmware-Update When starting update mode over the network, the serially connected device is informed of the access with a short message. The update mode is protected with a timeout of 30s. If no data are transmitted within this time, the LAN-Modem automatically resumes normal operating mode.
W&T Firmware-Update 5.4 Updating the TCP/IP-Stack Prerequisite is a PC running under Windows 9x/NT/2000 with a network connection and an installed TCP/IP stack. You need two files for the update process: 1. The Update-Tool (32-bit application for Windows9x/ NT/2000), used to perform the update, and 2.

W&T Appendix Reading/Sending Configuration Profiles To simplify the configuration of the LAN-Modem when using a greater number of devices, it is possible to copy t h e c o n f i g u r a t i o n d a t a . T o d o t h i s , y o u m u s t f i r s t configure a LAN-Modem for the desired operating mode using the AT commands.
W&T Appendix The Modem Protocol on the TCP Level Normally LAN-Modems will be used only to connect to each other. It is however conceivable that an application program uses TCP/IP programming to direct dial an individual LAN-Modem or to be called by the LAN-Modem. The information required for doing this can be obtained on request.
W&T Appendix Virtual Modem Ports under Windows NT/2000/XP As is the case with standard dial-up modems, the LAN- Modems are generally used in pairs, with one LAN-Mo- dem used to dial-up another. If in a serial application this involves an application running under Windows NTW, 2000 or XP, a LAN-Modem is not required on this side.
