A DataPort 2001 user’s guide with Warranty Card Additional documentation may be included as required. Required Equipment The DataPort 2001 can be connected to the serial connector of either an IBM AT-compatible personal computer or an Apple Macintosh computer. For proper operation, you must have the following: A serial cable to connect the modem to your PC.
If the DataPort 2001 needs to be returned within the first 30 days of purchase, then return it to the place of purchase. If it is necessary for you to return your DataPort 2001 after 30 days of purchase, you may return it to the place of purchase, or contact 1-800-237-0016 for product return information and an RMA number.
Installation This chapter describes installation procedures for the DataPort 2001 multimedia communicator. Please take a minute to review these procedures before installing your DataPort 2001. Use Figure 2-1 and the following procedures to connect your DataPort 2001 to either an Apple Macintosh or IBM AT-compatible PC.
Page 25
3. Connect the telephone. The connector labeled PHONE is used to attach a telephone to your DataPort 2001. This allows you to have use of the telephone for normal voice communications when the DataPort 2001 is not in use, or for simultaneous audio and data communication when VoiceSpan is active.
The DataPort 2001 will work only if the cables are connected as previously described. If the DataPort 2001 detects that the cables have been connected incorrectly, it sends the message PHONE MISWIRED or NO LINE CONNECTION to your computer. If you receive one of these messages, turn off the DataPort 2001.
Dial-Line Connection Test The following procedures test the connection of your DataPort 2001 to the dial telephone line. Step 1 verifies the dial-line connection, and Step 2 allows you to dial the AT&T BBS and logon as a new user.
Page 28
If the DataPort 2001 is correctly connected, you will hear a dial tone followed by the sound of the DataPort 2001 dialing the telephone number. The OH (off-hook) light turns ON. (For Pulse dialing, the OH light flashes as digits are dialed.) The DataPort 2001 then hangs up and displays an OK.
Overview QuickLink II Fax is a communications and fax software package that is provided at no charge with your DataPort 2001. It is available in a Window/DOS or Macintosh version and is supplied on a 3.5-inch diskette. Each version of software is thoroughly tested by AT&T Paradyne to ensure compatibility with your...
So you probably do not need a sophisticated knowledge of the commands used to control and configure the DataPort 2001. But you may need to know at least how to issue such commands. An Overview of AT Commands The DataPort 2001 uses AT commands and S-Registers to control its operation and firmware configuration.
The following section lists guidelines for using AT commands. AT commands must be entered while the DataPort 2001 is in either Command mode or (when the DataPort 2001 is online with another modem) online Command mode. Command mode is an idle state that allows you to modify the DataPort 2001’s operating parameters or...

L n command, L0 sets the speaker volume to Low and L3 sets the speaker volume to High. If no value is entered for the n suffix, the DataPort 2001 assumes a zero (0) value (in this case, low volume).
P: Your DataPort 2001 does not power ON. S: Make sure that the AC power transformer is plugged into an AC power source, that its cable is plugged firmly into the Power input of the DataPort 2001, and that the DataPort 2001 is turned ON. Phone Miswired P: Your DataPort 2001 sends the message PHONE MISWIRED to your computer.
DataPort 2001 is connected to. This can be done by holding down a keyboard character and watching the DataPort 2001’s SD light to see if it flashes. If it flashes as keys are pressed, the DataPort 2001 is receiving the data. Turn character echo ON as described in the next solution.
S: Disable the Dial Tone Detect command (X0, X1, and X3) and dial the telephone number. This forces the DataPort 2001 to dial without detecting a dial tone on the telephone line. This type of dialing is known as Blind Dialing.
AT&V command to view DataPort 2001 settings. S: Make sure that the computer is providing DTR to the DataPort 2001 (the TR light should be lit). If the computer does not provide DTR to the DataPort 2001, verify that the DataPort 2001’s &D command (DTR Action) is set for...
P: Your DataPort 2001 dials and connects with another modem, but after a moment, disconnects the call. S: Your DataPort 2001 might be trying to communicate with an older modem that does not support error control. (This is known as an error control disconnect, where the DataPort 2001 is configured to establish a call using error correction.
To restore error control to your DataPort 2001, issue either the AT\N7 command (turns error control ON) or the AT&F command (restores factory defaults and enables error control) after the call. S: You may have a poor telephone line connection. Try dialing again.
S: Verify the character structure of the online service and make appropriate changes in your software before dialing. Some services, such as GEnie, require a character structure of 7E1. S: Configure the DataPort 2001 for 2400 bps (ATS41=6) with no error control (AT\N0) and try to call again.
S: Make sure V.17 fax has not been disabled (ATS79=0). The ATS79=1 command enables V.17 fax and is the factory default. P: Your DataPort 2001 does not disconnect the call and hang up. S: Change the setting of the &D command from Ignore (&D0)
P: Your fax did not complete, and your DataPort 2001 displays results codes in the numeric format. S: For some reason, your DataPort 2001 and software are no longer communicating, and as a result, your DataPort 2001 is stuck in fax mode. Type ATE1V1 and press Enter. The software should respond with an OK.
The following describes AT Command Recovery which returns your DataPort 2001 from “Dumb” mode. While in Dumb mode, the DataPort 2001 ignores all AT commands. This mode is only applicable to DataPort 2001s used in synchronous applications. P: Your DataPort 2001 enters Dumb mode.
Page 43
When an AT recovery occurs, the following changes are made to your DataPort 2001: – The DataPort 2001 is configured for Asynchronous mode and uses AT commands (AT&M1 or AT&Q1); – Data Set Ready (DSR) is configured for forced ON (AT&S0); and –...
Using VoiceSpan Configuring the DataPort 2001 for VoiceSpan To configure the DataPort 2001 for VoiceSpan operation, issue the following AT commands. 1. AT&F (Load factory defaults) 2. AT%VF (Load factory VoiceSpan defaults) 3. ATS0=0 (Disable Auto-Answer) 4. AT&W (Save options in non-volatile memory) Appendix B shows in boldface type the default configuration values set by the %VF and &F commands.

is simply a matter of selecting a telephone icon on the originating side; some applications require that you type a command. Answering may be automatic, or may require some user action. Although the connection is already made, the DataPort 2001s make it appear to the applications that a new phone call is being initiated and answered.

DTE, and the VoiceSpan ready signal to the local phone. The VoiceSpan session begins. The DataPort 2001 supports the possible combinations of Manual Dial, Manual Answer, Auto-Dial, and Auto-Answer. In cases where there is no local telephone off-hook, the DataPort 2001 connects in data-only VoiceSpan mode (no audio).
DataPort 2001 detects silence, it sends data at the highest rate possible (up to 14,400 bps). When there is new sound to transmit, the DataPort 2001 reverts to a data rate of 4800 bps. Switches between the high and low rates are made so quickly that they do not appreciably alter the sounds you hear.
Page 50
The following pictures show a session in which data-only mode is used. 1) Jan prepares to send a large file... 3) Jan initiates the file transfer. Jan realizes there is too much background noise in her office for DataBurst to have much effect.

Chris’s return, and the completion of the file transfer. When Chris gets back to the telephone and picks up the handset, a ring signal is sent to Jan’s DataPort 2001 alerting her that he is ready to resume voice communication.
Page 52
(This can be done at any time, however.) The user taps the telephone hookswitch. This instantly puts the DataPort 2001 in high-speed data-only mode. (The user also could hang up the phone or issue the +++ escape sequence followed by the AT%VH1 command to invoke data-only mode.)
Page 53
Table 5-2. Data-Only Mode (2 of 2) Originating End Answering End The application completes the send, and the remote user acknowledges receipt. The user returns to VoiceSpan mode by tapping the telephone hookswitch. Simultaneous audio and data mode is restored. The VoiceSpan session proceeds.
Ending a VoiceSpan Session To end a VoiceSpan session, one user causes the DTE application to hang up. (How this is done is application- dependent.) The DataPort 2001s disconnect. If the telephones are still off-hook, the users can continue their conversation, uninterrupted.
Page 55
One user causes the DTE application to issue a +++ escape and an ATH (On-hook) command. The DataPort 2001 initiates its disconnect sequence. The VoiceSpan session ends and the DataPort 2001s are disconnected. If the telephones are both off-hook, the users can continue their conversation.
DataPort 2001 switches to data-only mode. A short repeating beep reminds you when your DataPort 2001 is in data-only mode, but the remote user’s DataPort 2001 is not. Your DataPort 2001 generates two different kinds of rings. A ring similar to a normal telephone ring alerts you when another DataPort 2001 has dialed yours.

Glossary Active A nonvolatile configuration area containing the most recently saved configuration options. Any changes made to configuration options can be saved by issuing an AT&W0 command. analog signal A type of signal composed of continuously variable values, used to transmit data over telephone lines. Answer mode The modem is in a state where it is ready to receive an incoming call.
Page 119
AT command string Several AT commands issued at once, preceded by the AT prefix. AT prefix A prefix issued before every AT command (except A/ and +++) which identifies the computer’s data rate, parity, and character length. autobaud Modem automatically determines the asynchronous computer data rate when using AT commands.

CCITT An advisory committee (Consultative Committee on International Telephone and Telegraph) established by the United Nations to recommend communications standards and policies. Carrier Detect. A signal between the local and remote ends of a network indicating that energy exists on the transmission circuit. Associated with Pin 8 on an EIA RS-232 interface.
Page 121
Clear-To-Send. A signal, sent to the computer via Pin 5 of an EIA RS-232 interface, indicating that the modem is ready for the computer to transmit data. data compression The elimination of empty fields, redundancies, and gaps in order to reduce storage capacity needs and the amount of data to be transmitted.
Page 122
dial command modifiers A modifier used in the dial string that instructs the modem how to process a dialed telephone number. dial string A series of characters that consists of numbers and modifiers used to dial a telephone number. digital signal A signal composed of only two discrete values (representing the binary digits 0 and 1), used to transfer data between a locally attached computer and a modem.

flashhook The act of pressing momentarily and releasing a telephone’s hookswitch. In VoiceSpan, this is treated as a request to change to and from data-only mode. flow control A process in which devices stop and start the flow of data in a network to avoid losing data.
Page 125
long space disconnect A disconnect can occur if the modem receives an extended space from a remote modem; for example, when a remote modem is commanded to disconnect, it transmits a continuous space to the modem before disconnecting. loopback test Any test that verifies the integrity of a device by sending data from one device to another, and then checking the received data for errors.
Page 126
off-hook A telephone or modem is being used. on-hook A telephone or modem is not being used. Originate mode The modem is in a state where it is ready to transmit a call. In a dial network, it is the modem that makes the call. parity A way of checking data accuracy by counting the number of bits that have a value of one.
