Overview Introduction The 5556 Micro PC Modem Card is a compact 56K BPS data modem solution for the Micro PC product line. It supports baud rates up to 56K. It is AT command set compatible and will work with any popular AT compatible communication software written for the PC.
The 5556 may be used with any Micro PC Control Card. The 5556 contains static sensitive CMOS components. The greatest danger occurs when the card is plugged into a card cage. The 5556 becomes charged by the user and the static discharges to the backplane from the pin closest to the card connector.
Installation Before installing the 5556 Modem Card, refer to Figure 1 for the location of various connectors and jumpers: Figure 1 5556 Component diagram...
IRQ7 * = default Base port address The 5556 can be configured as COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4. It is configured at the factory to operate using COM3. To change the base port address, you must reconfigure jumper block W1.
To install the 5556 in the card cage: Take care to correctly position the 5556 in the card cage. The Vcc and ground signals must match those on the backplane. Figure 2 shows the relative position of the 5556 as it is installed in the card cage.
9. Power on your system. 10. Set the communications speed of the 5556 to baud rates up to 56K BPS. The 5556 defaults to 56K BPS when first powered on. Also set the character length, parity and stop bits. Refer to your software manual for more specific information.
To switch between modes, the following two commands are used: n Escape sequence (+++) sets the modem from the on–line mode back to a command mode and n ATO command returns the modem back to the online mode again after a +++ has been issued Escape sequence Once the modem is on–line, the special escape sequence of +++ returns the modem to the command mode without breaking the...
AT commands All commands sent to the modem must begin with the attention code AT (except for the +++ (escape) and the A/ (repeat)) commands. The following tables group the commands by function. Table 3 Prefix, repeat, and escape commands Command Description Command line prefix that tells the modem a command...

Result codes The 5556 responds to most AT commands with the following result codes: Table 19 Result code summary Digit Code Definition Successfully executed command line Connect 300 BPS connection established Ring Ring signal detected No carrier Carrier not detected within Register S7 detect...
S–Register The S–Register stores the current configuration of the 5556. These settings are changed directly via “S” commands or indirectly via commands such as the &C command. For example, each time a &C command is issued, the content of S–Register 21 is altered. Use the Z or &F command or power–off/on the modem to restore the default...
Make sure you have selected the correct COM port in your communications software program. Make sure the W1 jumpers on the 5556 are set to the correct COM port. The command characters do not appear on the screen Type ATE1 <Return> and then type AT. Or, use the echo/no echo feature in your software program.
Technical specifications Data rate Up to 56K BPS Data format 7 or 8 data bits; 1 or 2 stop bits; odd, even or no parity Operation Full duplex Dialing Rotary (pulse) or touchtone; pulse or tone may be combined in same dial string.
