EXCEL 500/600 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Automatic Baudrate Synchronization
The default communication speed between the
XC5010C/XCL5010 and the local modem/ISDN terminal
adapter is 9600 baud.
The communication speed between the XC5010C/XCL5010
and XBS modems/ISDN terminal adapters is automatically
synchronized by the two devices to the highest speed that
both of the devices are capable of. This feature is called
autobauding and is a feature that all state-of-the-art
modems/ISDN terminal adapters provide when left in their
factory default settings.
The communication speed between the XBS and its
modem/ISDN terminal adapter is part of the modem set-up at
the XBS.
Auto / Manual Answer Detection
The XC5010C/XCL5010 will automatically detect whether the
modem/ISDN terminal adapter is initialized in auto-answer or
manu-answer mode, and it will set the modem to manual
answer mode (S0 = 0).
Resetting the Modem
For those cases where it is not clear if the modem to be used
is in its factory setting, the modem can be reset to its factory
setting by using the RESET MODEM command in the Start-
up sequence or through the HW Config. part of the System
Info. sequence on the MMI. This will allow a quick and easy
modem reset without the need to run the modem set-up
software or the Windows™ terminal program.
The RESET MODEM command causes the following
commands to be sent to the modem:
1. ATZ
executes hardware reset on modem
2. AT&FX3&W
resets modem to factory configuration settings,
configures the modem not to wait for the public phone
system dial tone, and writes this to nonvolatile memory.
Set-Up for Special Modem Behavior
If special modem/ISDN terminal adapter behavior is required,
the communication device should be set up according to the
instructions provided with it. This typically involves running a
setup program on a computer with the device connected to
the computer serial port or using the Windows™ terminal
program.

Set-Up for In-House Telephone Systems
A common case of special modem behavior is when the
modem is connected to an in-house telephone network
requiring a prefix to be dialed before the destination number
to provide access to the public telephone network. There are
two important aspects of the special initialization of the
modem to consider:
1. Do not wait for the public network dial tone. Typically
the init command ATX3 will trigger the modem to dial
without waiting for a public network dial tone. Save this
modem set-up in the modem EEPROM with the
command AT&W. Check the modem handbook to verify
the correct commands. Note that these commands are
executed automatically with the RESET MODEM
command.
2. Add the prefix required for access to the public tele-
phone network to the destination telephone number.
Depending on the in-house telephone system, a certain
prefix may have to be added to the destination number
in the XBS system configuration/site definition screen
prior to sending the set-up to the remote Excel 500
controller.
Set-Up for Limited Communication Speed
The communication speed of the modem can be fixed to a
lower rate in case of data transmission errors due to tele-
phone line limitations. See the XI581/582 Buswide Operator
Interface User Guide (EN2B-126GE51) for the procedure for
fixing the baud rate.
Troubleshooting
In case of any problems the handbook of the modem or ISDN
terminal adapter must be consulted.
