  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction This describes the use of the TRON TA128, the TRON TA128/M and the TRON TA128/M2. If an explanation specifically applies to one of the models, this is indicated by using TRON TA128, TRON TA128/M or TRON TA128/M2. If TRON TA128 is used, it applies to all models.

  • Page 7: Isdn, Data Communication, The Internet

    ISDN, Data Communication, the Internet This chapter starts off with a brief explanation of ISDN and the function of the TRON TA128. After that, the concept of Data Communication is described. ISDN The introduction of ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) has made it possible to send information in a digital format.

  • Page 8: The Function Of The Tron Ta128

    TRON TA128 Setting up a data connection through the ISDN network is almost the same as doing so by modem. Once a protocol has been selected, a number can be dialed using the ATD command. The TRON TA128 will now establish a connection through the D channel.

  • Page 9: Remote Lan Access

    ISDN, Data Communication, the Internet Internet Configuration You can only gain ISDN access to the Internet if you have a contract with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) who works with ISDN access. You will need the following information from your ISP to configure the TRON TA128: ISDN access number (to be entered into the PC program) The protocol used, for instance PPP (command: AT&O7), which has to be configured in the TRON TA128...

  • Page 16: Protocols

    TRON TA128 Protocols The TRON TA128 can work with different protocols. A connection to another Terminal Adapter (TA) cannot be established unless both are set to use the same protocol. For this reason, it is important to verify which protocol is supported by the TA called to.

  • Page 19: At Command Set And S Registers

    3. AT command set and S registers The AT command set This chapter discusses the terminal adapter commands. Most terminal adapters and communication softwares use the AT command set. In order to support new equipment like terminal adapters with AT commands as well, manufacturers have added commands of their own to the AT command set.

  • Page 20: Building A Command Line

    TRON TA128 2. Data mode The terminal adapter is transparent, which means the information exchanged through both the terminal adapters remains unchanged. In a data connection, the terminal adapter normally is in data mode. If the terminal adapter is to execute a command, this can only be achieved from command mode.
