If you have any questions regarding this product, please refer to this User’s Manual and README files on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM first. Updated drivers and utilities are available through Jaton BBS and Web site. Telephone: Fax: 24 hour BBS:...
SPEAKER INTERFACE The modem chipset internally implements both the volume control and amplifier necessary to drive an external speaker. The internal amplifier is capable of driving a minimum load of 8 ohm up to a maximum load of 100 ohm. The speaker volume is controlled by the ATLn command.
Hardware Installation Steps: 1. Switch off your system and all peripheral devices, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Tour power cord and wall outlet may differ from the ones shown. 2. Touch a metal plate on your system to ground yourself and discharge any static electricity.
Page 17
4. Find a free 16-bit expansion slot in your system. 5. Remove the metal plate from the slot you have chosen and put the screw aside. 6. Align the card to a 16-bit Bus with the expansion slot and gently push down into it. Secure the card to expansion slot with the screw you removed from the metal plate.
CHAPTER 3 SOFTWARE Once The Communicator V.90 card is configured with proper jumpers for the hardware and installed in the PC system, it is ready to use. Driver installation The Windows®9x operating system require you to install proper modem drivers. You may either install the Standard Modem drivers or install manufacture’s modem driver.

Otherwise, you will hear the dial tone from modem. Press “Esc” key on your keyboard to cancel. You will be in command state. You will be able to type in AT commands and control your modem directly. This is a great way to check out if your modem is actually working or not. Of course, this is not the way you usually use your modem.
Check mark the Record a log file (ModemLog.txt in Windows®9x) for diagnostic purpose. Software Installation Once the modem hardware installed and configured properly, you may use the modem with any PC communication software. The bundled software package is pre-configured for optimal performance with your modem. Please refer to the software user’s guide for additional information.

For Fax Set-up: 1. Set the Flow Control to: Hardware (or RTS/CTS) 2. Set Class 1 fax class. COMMUNICATOR V.90 CD-ROM After Windows®9x started, a welcome screen will appear when the Communicator V.90 CD-ROM is inserted to the CD-ROM drive.
CHAPTER 4 Modem Basic This chapter will address some basic terminology associated with your modem and with your communications software. MODEM Modem is an abbreviation of Modulator and DEModulator. It is use for computer communication. Modem translates computer data to analog signal (modulation) that can travels through the telephone network and reaches the other modem.

(38500 bps and up), the PC may not be fast enough and data may become lost. In this case, a UART with data buffer is need such as NS16550A. NVRAM NVRAM(Non-Volatile RAM) is a device to store the DCE configuration. Upon powering-up, the modem defaults to the configuration specified in the NVRAM or to the factory default (if the NVRAM was not installed).

Communication software manual and AT Command to modify INIT strings. XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM These are file transfer protocols used by the host ( i.e. communication program in the PC). It does error checking and assures data integrity of the file transfer. There are some other protocols. ZMODEM is preferred protocol to use.

XON/XOFF A handshaking, flow control mechanism that communicates that the device is ready to accept more data. The flow control embedded into the data stream by using special characters with hence transmit on (XON), or transmit off (XOFF) often referred to as software flow control. CTS/RTS CTS stands for Clear To Send.
The use of this command results in an apparent loss of command echo from the modem. Solution: Change the command to E1(Default). This command disables the monitor speaker, not allowing you to monitor either the dialing or call progress. Solution: Change the command to M1(Default).
commands. This command causes the result codes to issued in numeric code(which may require for some software packages.) However, if you want the result codes to appear in English text, you will have to change the command to V1. This command determines Result Code Type. For some values of n, the modem will dial without dial tone or BUSY signal detection.

CHAPTER 5 Overview The modem (DCE) operates in two states: command or online. In each mode, both data and commands (including DCE responses) are transferred through the UART THR (Transmit Hold register) and the RBR (Receiver Buffer register). The modem defaults to the command state. In this command state, the host (DTE) communicates to the modem through AT commands and S-registers.
AT Commands Table 1. Basic AT Commands Command Description Repeat the last AT command string issued. An “AT” prefix is not used. Do not terminate this command with <ENTER>. AT= x Write to selected S-register. Read selected S-register. Answer. Go off-hook and enter the answer mode. After 3 seconds the modem will initiate an answer tone.
