    Leased line mode is another option that can be used when dial-up lines are not available or desired, (see diagram 3). This link is strictly a point-to-point full-duplex link. On unloaded lines, this link may be up to 20 miles. When the DLM4000 modems are being used on a loaded telephone company leased line the distance is unlimited.

  • Page 12: Setting Up And Using Hyperterminal For Testing

    DLM4000 User Guide Jumper Settings Note that HyperTerminal is required for connecting the dial-up DLM4000 modems to each other. Leased Line versions only need to be powered up and they will establish carrier between each other. The following steps will walk through launching and configuring HyperTerminal to talk to the DLM4000 modem.
  • Page 13 The jumper on the serial port of the receiving modem will allow data that is being sent to the modem to be sent back to the transmitting DLM4000. The text file that is being sent will be displayed on the screen of the computer. It is now time to transfer a text file.
  • Page 14 Configuration Setup To enable AT command configuration of the DLM4000, the modem must be in command mode, which is the default mode for dial-up operation. To enable command mode, remove the modem cover and place J2 in positions 1-2. Positions 2-3 is leased-line mode.
  • Page 15: Command Descriptions

    DLM4000 User Guide DLM4000 Command Descriptions AT: The attention command clears the command buffer must precede all command lines except A/ and +++. A/: This command re-executes the last command in the command buffer. +++: This is the escape sequence to take the modem from data mode to command mode.
  • Page 16 Note: that a setting of zero dB may cause connection problems in some Telco circuits. This value must match in both modems. V: This command instructs the DLM4000 to send response codes in a word or digital form. V0: Sends response codes in digital form.
  • Page 17 \Q3: Uses bi-directional CTS/RTS flow control. The data transmission from the local device to the DLM4000 stops when CTS is off, and resumes when CTS is on. Data transmitted from the DLM4000 to connected device stops when RTS is off, and resumes when RTS is on. This assumes connected device uses handshaking.
  • Page 18 %E0: Disables automatic retrain capability. %E1: Enables auto-retrain. When the line quality is poor, the DLM4000 makes three attempts to re-establish the connection, for a total of 6 seconds, before it hangs up. This command is valid at speeds of 2400 bps or higher.
  • Page 19: Registers

    Default: 6 S10: Determines how long the DLM4000 will wait before hanging up after it detects a loss of carrier. This delay permits the carrier to momentarily disappear without causing the modem to disconnect. If this register is set to 255, the modem ignores carrier status as though a carrier was always present.

    2. Confirm that the leased line connection at both DLM4000 locations is connected properly. The two center pins of the jack are the correct pins. 3. Make sure that the leased line is a two wire leased line and not a four wire. The DLM4000 will not operate on a four wire leased line.
  • Page 23 I am trying to dial with the DLM4000, but the modem keeps disconnecting before establishing a carrier. 1. Ensure that the equipment connected to the dialing modem is not sending data into the DLM4000’s serial port. Any data sent into the modem in dial mode is viewed as a command and the dial sequence will be terminated. If it is not possible to discontinue the transmission of data, contact Data-Linc Group for help.
