    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.
  • Page 36 (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).
  • Page 37 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.
  • Page 38 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.

If you are typing from the command line in terminal mode, make sure you typed correctly. Make sure you are issuing the correct AT command. Note: Not all modems support the same AT Command set.

  • Page 44: Chapter 5 At Commands

    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.
