Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the Actiontec PCI Pro 56K internal modem. The PCI Pro  
incorporates the latest technology in controller-less V.90 modems for the PCI bus.  
This technology improves the performance and capabilities of personal computer  
fax/modems. The use of the PCI Bus frees the user from having to use an ISA slot  
which is most likely already being used by another peripheral. Almost every PC has  
at least one free PCI slot.  
Host-based or “Windows” modems utilize your computers internal Central Process-  
ing Unit, or CPU to perform some of their functions. The modems onboard digital  
signal processing circuitry handles the most processor-intensive functions such as  
V.90 and V.34 modulation, while the CPU handles more routine communications  
tasks like data compression. This allows for fewer parts and greater reliability without  
taxing the overall system speed. It also allows the modem greater access to memory  
and disk storage space. As personal computers advance in speed and capabilities,  
controller-less modems can take advantage of these improvements. Simply download  
the new driver, follow the installation instructions, and reboot your system. In this  
way, the performance of your modem improves as your PC hardware improves.

Do This First  
Please read the following tips carefully before attempting to install your new modem.  
For Windows 95 and Windows 98 Installations  
Be sure to remove all other modem drivers from your operating system. To do this,  
right-click My Computer, choose Properties from the menu that appears, then click  
on the Device Manager tab. Double-click the Modems icon in the list of devices to  
show the modems installed. Click once on the icon next to any modems in this list to  
select them. When all of the modems are selected, click Remove.  
Turn off the computer and physically remove your old modem from the system. Once  
you remove the old modem and its drivers from your system, you will need the old modem  
driver diskette if you wish to reinstall it at a later date.  
Restart the computer. On the taskbar, click Start. On the Start menu, click Settings,  
then click Control Panel. Double-click on the Modems icon. Select any and all listed  
modems and click Remove. Shut down (rather than restart) the computer. Wait 5  
seconds before turning it back on.

If you are going to use the Telephone Answering Machine (TAM) functions of the  
modem and you are running Windows 95, you need to install a software component  
called Unimodem V. If you have Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (Version  
4.00.950 B, hereafter referred to in this manual as Windows 95B) or a later version  
of Windows, this component comes standard as part of the operating system.  
To find out which version of Windows 95 you are using, right-click the My Com-  
puter icon on the desktop, and choose Properties from the menu that appears. If the  
version of Windows 95 is 4.00.950 or 4.00.950A, go to the UNIMODEM directory  
of the CD-ROM that came with your modem and right-click on the UNIMODV.INF  
icon, (this may be named UNIMODV) then click on Install.. Restart your computer  
to enable the drivers.  
In order to support older software, the modem will always be assigned to COM 4.  
This port assignment is made by Windows based on instructions contained in the  
.INF file supplied with the modem. Check Device Manager and verify that COM 4  
is not listed.  
Right-click on the My Computer icon, choose Properties, and select the Device  
Manager tab. From the device tree, double-click the Ports [COM & LPT] icon to  
expand the list of ports. COM 1 and COM 2 should be listed. If COM 4 is listed, it  
is in use, it must be made available as the modem will be automatically assigned to  
this port. Highlight COM 4 by clicking once on its listing in device manager, then  
click Remove. Click Refresh. If the COM 4 listing returns, you have a hardware  
device using the port. Reinstall the device on another COM port.  
For Windows NT 4.0 Installation  
Before installing your new modem, be sure to remove any modems and their drivers  
from your operating system. On the taskbar, click Start. On the Start menu click  
Settings, then click Control Panel. Double-click the Modems icon. Highlight the  
modem you wish to remove and click Remove. Turn off the computer and physically  
remove the old modem. Do not install your new modem at this time. Follow the  
procedures below to help insure a trouble-free installation. Once you remove the old  
modem and its drivers from your system, you will need the old modem driver diskette if  
you wish to reinstall it at a later date.  
Determine that your installation of NT 4.0 is current. Service Pack 3 (or greater),  
from Microsoft, should be installed. On the Start menu, click Settings then click  
Administrative Tools then click Windows NT Diagnostics. Select the Version folder.  
Service Pack 3 (or greater) should be stated. If you do not have the latest service pack  
upgrade installed, it must be obtained from Microsoft. The latest upgrade can be  
downloaded from the Microsoft web site: www.microsoft.com.

Installing The Modem  
Always discharge static electricity before handling your modem. You  
may discharge static electricity by touching a grounded metal structure  
or by using any commercially available grounding strap.  
Make sure the expansion slot type is 16-bit, which has two slots to fit  
the ISA card. 8-bit slots have only one connector. If you use an 8-bit  
slot, the modem will not have access to the higher interrupts (IRQ 9-  
12).  
The position of the expansion slots in your computer may differ from  
the illustration shown but the installation procedure should be the same.  
Hardware Installation  
1. Turn off the computer and all peripheral devices connected to it.  
2. Unplug the computer power cord from the wall receptacle.  
3. Remove the computers cover. Refer to your computer owners manual for in-  
structions.  
4. Remove the screw securing the expansion slot cover behind one of the computers  
available PCI expansion slots. Lift the expansion slot cover out as shown below.

Connecting Devices to the Modem  
Figure 4: Connecting Devices  
On the rear panel of your modem are input jacks to connect devices to the modem.  
As shown in the diagram, there are jacks for connection to a “phone” and to a phone  
“line.” The connector labeled Line (Telco) is meant to be connected to a standard  
analog phone line. To help reduce the load on your phone line, it is recommended  
that the modem be the only device connected. You should remove all other devices  
from your telephone line while the modem is in use.

Installing Communications Software  
If your modem came with a communications software package, it is strongly recom-  
mended that you use this software for your modem. Its default installation param-  
eters have been specially configured to work with this modem. The Users Guide for  
this program can be found in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format on the installation CD-  
ROM.  
Some configurations are packaged without communications software. Check your  
packaging to see if communications software is included.  
If you wish to use another software package, please be sure that it supports this mo-  
dem. Most Software Manufacturers have a listing of supported modems on their  
websites or BBSs. Check these sites to see if this model is supported. If you are unsure  
or your brand of software supports only a few modems, try selecting “Hayes Com-  
patible” or “Standard Modem”. This may work in certain cases.  
Some software programs allow manual input of parameters. For the users of these  
programs, here is a listing of the Data/Fax/Voice Command Standards supported.  
Data:  
TIA/EIA-602  
Fax:  
Voice:  
Init String:  
TIA/EIA-578 for Class 1 Fax  
TIA IS-101 support for TAD (Telephone Answering Device)  
AT&F&C1&D2W2  
TIA IS-101 Commands not supported:  
Caller ID  
Full Duplex Speakerphone  
VoiceView  
Note: some programs must be configured to communicate with the modem on  
the same COM port and or IRQ setting used by the modem. See the “In-  
stalling the Modem” for instructions on how to determine your COM port  
and IRQ settings.  
The Modem’s Voice Features  
This modem supports TIA IS-101 commands applicable to a Telephone Answering  
Device. In order to take advantage of this feature, you will need a Sound Blaster®  
compatible sound card equipped with an external microphone and external speakers.  
A software application which supports these TAD functions (such as the one sup-  
plied with the modem) is also required.  
29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
A modem basedTelephone Answering Machine works by using a sound card equipped  
with a microphone to record an outgoing message. This message is stored as a .wav  
file which is transferred to the modem by the application program when an incoming  
call is detected. The modems internal electronics converts the digital information  
contained in the .wav file into an audio signal which is then sent over the phone line.  
The person calling hears your outgoing message and responds with an incoming  
message.  
The sequence of recording an incoming message is the reverse of an outgoing mes-  
sage. The modem converts the audio signal into a digital format and sends it to the  
application program. The application program then formats and stores the incoming  
message as a .wav file. When you play back your stored messages by selecting them  
from within the application program, they are sent to the sound card. You then hear  
your recorded messages through the sound cards speakers.  
The default parameters of the software which came with your modem have been  
specially configured to identify and use your modems voice capabilities. Even if you  
have decided to use another third-party application, try your included application  
first. This will allow you to test the modem and its voice functions before investing in  
an expensive retail software package.

Troubleshooting  
This section lists some common problems and offers suggestions for a solution. It is  
important to remember that this modem is a Windows-based modem and requires  
32bit virtual device drivers. It therefore cannot work in Windows 3.1 which cannot  
use these drivers. The modem also cannot work in DOS regardless of version. It is a  
software installed device and has no provisions for manual configuration.  
If you cannot find your particular symptom listed here, it is suggested that you re-  
move the modem and its drivers from the system and reinstall them again. (See  
“Uninstalling the Modem” later in this section.) This provides a “clean” installation  
and can cure many temporary problems. See “Do This First” for before reinstalling  
the modem.  
Most problems encountered during the Windows 95/98/NT installation process are  
a result of insufficient system preparation. Make sure to physically remove any previ-  
ously installed modems from your system.  
If your modem has installed but is not functioning, try the troubleshooting proce-  
dure listed below.  
Windows 95/95B/98  
Step 1: Check System Resources  
On the taskbar, click Start. On the Start menu, click Settings, then click Control  
Panels, and double-click the System icon. Select the Device Manager tab. From the  
device tree, double-click the Modems icon to show what modems are installed. If  
there is no Modems icon, your modem did not install (See “Does Not Install”.) If  
your modem is listed, check that there is no yellow exclamation mark or red “X” over  
the modems icon (if there is, go to step 2). If any other modems are listed, highlight  
the modem by clicking once on the icon next to the listed modem and then click on  
the Remove button. Turn off the system. Wait 5 seconds and turn your computer  
back on and repeat step 1.  
Step 2: Check Modem Properties  
In the Device Manager tab of System Properties, double-click the Modems icon to  
show what modems are installed. Highlight your modem by clicking once on the  
icon and then click the Properties button. Read the Device Status under the General  
tab to see if the device is working properly. Check the Device Usage area and make  
sure “Disable in this hardware profile” (Windows 95B and 98 only) or the box la-  
beled “Original Configuration, Current” has a check mark (for Windows 95 or 95A.)  
31  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
If either of these conditions are present, correct them. Make a note of the Com port  
and IRQ the modem is using. If the Device Status area shows some error message, it  
will generally be about a conflict. Go to the Resources tab and read the Conflicting  
Device List. If a conflict is present, click to deselect “Use automatic settings” and  
select a configuration that does not cause conflicts. Manually change the IRQ set-  
tings if needed (see your Windows 95 or 98 on-line help file for a more detailed  
discussion on changing these settings). Click the OK button. If there is no setting  
free of conflicts, See “Does Not Install.”  
Step 3: Modem Diagnostics  
On the taskbar, click Start. On the Start menu, click Settings, then click Control  
Panel and double-click the Modems icon. Your modem should be listed. If any other  
modem is listed, click once on each old modem and then click the Remove button. It  
is a good idea to turn off your computer, wait 5 seconds and turn the power back on.  
Return to Modems and click the Diagnostics tab. Highlight the modem by clicking  
once on the COM port icon next to its listing. Now click the More Info button. You  
should see the panel below.  
Figure 8: More Info Panel  
If you receive an error message or the panel is blank, see “Does Not Install” section.  
32  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Step 4: Does Not Install  
The most likely reason for a non-installation in Windows 95 or 98 is a lack of IRQ  
resources. The modem needs one IRQ and two I/O addressees in order to function.  
Modern computer systems are usually equipped with sound card, CD-ROM drive,  
Hard-drive, floppy drive, video card, two COM Ports, one LPT port, keyboard, and  
a mouse. Each of these devices require at least one IRQ (interrupt) in order to func-  
tion.  
This section deals with the process of freeing IRQs and configuring the system for  
Plug-N-Play requiring that you know how to enter your computer systems BIOS  
Setup Routine (read your computer users manual for information on how to invoke  
and use the BIOS setup).  
Once inside the BIOS Setup, find the Plug-N-Play configuration. This can be found  
within the Advanced”, “PNP/PCI Configuration”, or “Plug and Play Configura-  
tion” section depending on the BIOS Manufacturer. Next, from the information you  
noted in Step 2. Find the interrupt selection for the IRQ your modem is using.  
(Some BIOSs do not allow individual selection of interrupts to ISA, Plug-N-Play, or  
PCI.) You want to set this so that the PCI bus has access to this interrupt. This can be  
called ICU/PCI, PCI, or PNP depending on your BIOS version and manufacturer.  
Do not set this interrupt to “ISA” only or to “Legacy ISA”.  
If you do not have any free interrupts available, you will have to disable some unused  
function of your computer system. If you are using a PS/2 style mouse, you may be  
able to spare one of your internal COM ports. To disable a COM port, find the  
BIOS Setup section for “Integrated Peripherals”. Locate the Serial Port settings and  
disable an unused port that has nothing connected to it This will often be serial port  
2. This should free one IRQ for your modem to use. You may also have to disable the  
COM Port in Windows.  
Although it is possible for a PCI card to share interrupts, it is recommended that you  
have one free IRQ available in your computer. The modem needs one IRQ and two  
I/O Addresses to function. To check for any available interrupts in your system,  
right-click on the My Computer icon, choose Properties, and select the Device Man-  
ager tab. Click the Properties button to view the System Resources.  
Their are 16 (0-15) interrupts available in a system. Make a note of any interrupt not  
listed. To make sure that an available interrupt is assigned to the PCI bus, go to your  
system BIOS Setup routine and find the Plug-N-Play settings. These are found in the  
“Advanced”, “PNP/PCI Configuration”, or “Plug and Play Configuration” sections  
depending on the BIOS Manufacturer.  
Next, verify that one free IRQ has been set so that the PCI bus has access to it. (Some  
33

BIOSs dont allow individual selection of interrupts for ISA, Plug-N-Play, or PCI.)  
The interrupt settings can be called “ICU”, “ICU/PCI”, “PCI”, or “PNP depending  
on your BIOS version and manufacturer. Do not set this interrupt to “ISA” only or  
to “Legacy ISA”. Be sure to Save the settings before exiting the BIOS Setup.  
Under some situations, you will find that freeing an interrupt does not solve your  
installation difficulties. This could be due to another peripheral device stealing the  
interrupt you just provided. Certain full-featured sound cards require three IRQs to  
support all their functions. When one becomes available, they take it. This situation  
requires that you remove your sound card, free an interrupt, install the modem and  
verify its operation, and then reinstall the sound card. This procedure may also work  
for sound cards that have lost their sound after the modem has been installed or if the  
modem will not install in a system with a sound card.  
Proceed to “Installing the Modem”.  
Windows NT 4.0  
Windows NT installation problems are always due to inadequate preparation. The  
following conditions must be meet before attempting to install the modem or it will  
not be seen or correctly installed by the system. (See “Do This First” at the beginning  
of this manual.)  
You must have the latest Windows NT Service Pack installed.  
There must be two IRQ and two I/O port Addresses available for the modem to  
use.  
The installation utility must be copied from the installation CD-ROM to the  
default hard drive and extracted.  
If you need help on freeing an interrupt or making a COM Port available, see the  
Windows 95/98 “Does Not Install” section for a discussion of this topic. The “Spe-  
cial Situations” and “Plug-N-Play BIOS” sections also apply to Windows NT 4.0.  
See these areas for guidelines. If you are upgrading or removing the drivers, use the  
installation utility on the Windows NT installation diskette that came with your PCI  
modem. This utility has an option for removing the modem drivers.  
If you are not familiar with changing the settings within your system BIOS setup,  
you should skip the following system pre-installation procedure and go to “Installing  
the Modem.” Refer back to this area only if you have a problem installing the mo-  
dem.  
Check your system BIOS IRQ assignments and make sure that at least two interrupts  
have been assigned to the PCI bus. In your systems BIOS Setup routine, find the  
34

Plug-N-Play settings. These settings can be found within the Advanced,” “PNP/  
PCI Configuration,” or “Plug-and-Play Configuration” sections depending on the  
BIOS Manufacturer. Next, verify that at least two IRQs have been set so that the PCI  
bus has access to them (some BIOS dont allow individual selection of interrupts to  
ISA, Plug-N-Play, or PCI). These settings can be called ICU, ICU/PCI, PCI, or  
PNP depending on your BIOS version and manufacturer. Do not set all the inter-  
rupts to “ISA” only or to “Legacy ISA”. Pay attention to the IRQ usage of the other  
peripherals in your system. Do not reassign an interrupt that is already in use by an  
ISA card to the PCI bus.  
Common Problems  
No Dialtone Error  
Make sure you have connected the phone cable into the right connector on the back  
of the modem. See Figure 7.  
You may have too many devices connected to the phone line. Remove all other equip-  
ment.  
Your modem may not recognize overseas dialtone. Use the AT command ATX0to  
have the modem ignore (not look for) the dialtone before dialing. (See Appendix A  
for information on how to use AT commands.)  
Communications Software Does Not Work  
Some communications software packages need to be configured to the same COM  
port and or IRQ as the modem. See the “Installing the Modem” for information on  
how you determine your COM Port and IRQ number.  
Does the communications software support this modem? See the Installing and Con-  
figuring Communications Software section.  
If you are using a different software from the one supplied with the modem (some  
models of this modem may be shipped without communications software), try in-  
stalling the supplied software and verify its functionality with the modem.  
Nothing Appears OnThe Screen When IType  
Issue the AT command ATE1to the modem to enable command echo. This will let  
you see what you type.

Can’t Connect at 56K  
Note: Current FCC regulations limit your maximum connection rate to 53Kbits / s.  
The number you are calling may not support V.90 or K56flex protocols. Some ISPs  
(Internet Service Provider) have special numbers that you must call to connect to  
56K. Contact your service provider and ask if the number you are calling supports  
V.90 or K56flex connections to their service.  
Check the maximum speed setting in the Modem Properties window. On the task-  
bar, click Start. On the Start menu, click Settings, then click Control Panels. Double-  
click the Modems icon. Highlight your modem by clicking once on the icon next to  
the modem and then click the Properties button. Select the General tab and look at  
the setting in the Maximum speed box. Make sure this is set to 115200.  
You may have other telephone devices connected to the phone line. To help your  
modem achieve the best connection possible, remove all extra devices and their cables  
from the telephone line when the modem is in use. This reduces the load on your  
phone line and keeps signal attenuation to a minimum.  
Keep the length of your phone line cable to 10 feet or less. Dont use an unusually  
long cable to connect to the phone line socket. If necessary, move the computer  
closer to the phone socket. Dont lay your cabling close to an electrical appliance like  
a refrigerator or air conditioner unit. High current devices can transmit a 60 cycle  
“hum” to your modem through the phone cord. This may cause frequent renegotia-  
tions or line disconnects while the appliance is running.  
The telephone line conditions at the time of your call may not let you connect at  
56K. The modem has a connection sequence of K56flex, then V.90, then V.34, and  
so on. The modem attempts to make the highest connect rate that your telephone  
line can support at the time of negotiation. If the line conditions (noise, telephone  
company routing, etc.) wont allow a high data rate connection, then the modem will  
automatically connect at the most reliable rate. Try making the call again after a few  
minutes. The routing of the call may improve your chances of making a 56K connec-  
tion.  
If you are attempting to make a call from an office, are you using a direct outside line  
or are you using a PBX hookup? If you have to dial “9” to reach an outside number,  
you are using a PBX. The modem cannot connect faster then V.34 if you are using a  
PBX. Try using the line that is connected to a fax machine. Fax machines are usually  
connected to a dedicated line and not through the PBX.  
Your phone line may not support a 56K connection. Or may support a 56K connec-  
tion only intermittently. There are many conditions that must be met before a 56K  
36

connection can be established. The telephone company must have you connected to  
the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) in a particular way. The modem  
you are calling must support the same protocol. The phone line must be free of  
distortion and noise. The phone wiring in your house or building must be in good  
condition and so on. Check to see if you have good voice communications while  
talking to friends or relatives. Do their voices sound distorted? Do you hear a “hiss-  
ing” or “humming” sound in the background? Is there popping” or “crackling” dur-  
ing your call? These are phone line problems. In the case of distortion, your phone  
line is bad. Humming may be due to the cabling inside your residence coming too  
close to a high current appliance or you may have a cordless phone recharger base  
connected to the phone line. Popping or crackling usually indicates a loose connec-  
tion to the outside line or water dripping on the hookup outside your house.  
The drivers for your modem are constantly being refined to address problems with  
compatibility, interoperability, and performance. Check the Actiontec website on a  
regular basis for driver upgrades. A problem connecting to a particular provider might  
be fixed by a simple software upgrade.  
Uninstalling the Modem  
If you are uninstalling the modem in Windows 95 or 98 in order to upgrade your  
drivers or obtain a clean reinstallation, it is important to follow these directions care-  
fully.  
When removing the drivers from a system running Windows NT, use the installation  
utility. The utility has an option to remove your modem drivers.  
Uninstalling in Windows 95 and 98  
Step 1 On the desktop, right-click the My Computer icon and choose Properties  
from the menu that appears. Select the Device Manager tab. Double-click  
the Modems icon to expand the Modems section of the list. Highlight your  
modem by clicking once on its icon, then click Remove.  
Step 2 On the taskbar, click Start. On the Start menu, click Settings, then click  
Control Panel and double-click the Modems icon. If your modem is listed,  
highlight the modem by clicking once on the icon next to the modem and  
then click the Remove button. Or, if the New Hardware dialog box comes  
up, click Cancel.  
Your modem should not be listed in the Modems section after you have  
deleted it from the Device Manager. This could be a sign that your Plug-N-  
Play settings are not correct. See “Does Not Install” for more information  
about Plug-N-Play.

ltmodem.vxd  
ltvcd.vxd  
ltwave.inf  
ltdfv.inf  
ltdt.inf  
ltmodem.sys  
ltdsvd.dll  
ltports.inf  
If you cannot find a particular file, it usually means it was not installed. After all  
instances of these files have been deleted, restart your system.  
Note to users of Windows 95 and 98  
If you are using Windows 95B (see “Do This First” for instructions on how to deter-  
mine your Windows 95 version), you need only delete the files listed. In the case of  
Windows 95 or Windows 95A, there are two additional files which Windows 95 or  
Windows 95A generates when installing a third-party hardware peripheral. The file  
is called oem#.inf. The number (#) used is generated by Windows 95 each time  
an additional piece of hardware is installed. In the case of the modem, these files  
could have any number between 1 and 99--oem8.inf, for example.  
Close all open windows and return to the desktop. On the taskbar, click Start. On  
the Start menu, click Find, then click Files or Folders. Type in *.infin the Named  
box. Make sure your entire drive is selected and not just one subdirectory. Place a  
check mark in the Include subfolders box. Be sure all the information is typed in as  
shown below. Before beginning the search, click the Advanced tab.

AT Command Set  
AT Commands  
AT commands are issued to the modem to control the modems operation and soft-  
ware configuration. AT commands are commonly entered from a terminal program  
such as HyperTerminal, and can only be entered while the modem is in command  
mode. To enter an AT command, type:  
ATXn  
where X is the AT command, and n is the specific value for that command. Press  
ENTER.  
Commands are acknowledged with either text or numeric value response known as a  
result code. In the case of multiple AT commands on the same command line, the  
commands are executed in the order they are received. Should execution of a com-  
mand result in an error, or a character not be recognized as a valid command, execu-  
tion is terminated, the remainder of the command line is ignored, and the ERROR  
result code is issued. If all commands execute correctly, only the result code associ-  
ated with the last command shall be issued, even though all have been executed.  
In the following listing all commands and command values accepted by the modem  
are shown. Any entries other than those shown cause the ERROR result code.  
+++  
Escape sequence  
The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line com-  
mand mode. While in on-line command mode, you may communicate directly to  
your modem using AT commands. Once you are finished, you may return to data  
mode using the ATO command. A pause, the length of which is set by the Escape  
Guard Time S-Register (S12--See the “S-Registers Reference” section of this manual  
for details), must be used after an escape sequence is issued. This pause prevents the  
modem from interpreting the escape sequence as data. The value of the escape se-  
quence character may be changed using Register S2.  
A/  
Repeat Last Command  
This command repeats the last command string entered. Do not precede this com-  
mand with an AT prefix or conclude it by pressing Enter.

Dn  
Dial  
This command instructs the modem to begin the dialing sequence. The dial string  
(n, including modifiers and the telephone number) is entered after the ATD com-  
mand.  
A dial string can be up to 40 characters long. Any digit or symbol (0-9, *, #, A, B, C,  
D) may be dialed as touch-tone digits. Characters such as spaces, hyphens, and pa-  
rentheses do not count, they are ignored by the modem and may be included in the  
dial string to enhance readability.  
The following characters may be used as dial string modifiers:  
Redials last number. Should be the first character following  
ATD, ignored otherwise. The modem displays the dialing string  
in the following format: “Dialingꢀxxxxxxx” where “xxxxxxx” is the  
L
last number dialed.  
P

treats it as always on. This should only be used if your  
computer does not provide DTR to the modem.  
If the DTR signal is not detected while in on-line data  
mode, the modem enters command mode, issues OK  
result code, and remains connected.  
&D1  
&D2  
&D3  
If the DTR signal is not detected while in on-line data  
mode, the modem disconnects (default). If this signal is  
not present, the modem will not answer or dial.  
Monitor DTR signal when an on-to-off transition occurs,  
the modem performs a soft reset as if the ATZ  
command was received.

S-Registers Reference  
S-registers generally affect how the AT commands perform. Contents of the registers  
can be displayed or modified when the modem is in command mode.  
To display the value of an S-register:  
TYPE:  
ATSn?  
where n is the register number. Press ENTER.  
To modify the value of an S-register:  
TYPE:  
ATSn = r  
where n is the register number, and r is the new register value. Press ENTER.  
S0  
Auto Answer Ring Number  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
0255  
0
rings  
This register determines the number of rings the modem will count before automati-  
cally answering a call. Enter 0 (zero) if you do not want the modem to automatically  
answer at all. When disabled, the modem can only answer with an ATA command.  
S1  
Ring Counter  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
0255  
0
rings  
This register, Ring Counter, is read only. The value of S1 is incremented with each  
ring. If no rings occur over a six second interval, this register is cleared.  
S2  
AT Escape Character (user defined)  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
0255  
43  
ASCII  
This register determines the ASCII valued used for an escape sequence. The default is  
the + character. The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter  
command mode when on-line. Values greater than 127 disable the escape sequence.  
67

S3  
Command Line Termination Character (user defined)  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
0127, ASCII decimal  
13 (carriage return)  
ASCII  
This register determines the ASCII values as the carriage return character. This char-  
acter is used to end command lines and result codes.  
S4  
Response Formatting Character (user defined)  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
0127, ASCII decimal  
10 (line feed)  
ASCII  
This register determines the ASCII value used as the line feed character. The modem  
uses a line feed character in command mode when it responds to the computer.  
S5  
Command Line Editing Character (user defined)  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
032, 127  
8 (backspace)  
ASCII  
This register sets the character recognized as a backspace and pertains to asynchro-  
nous only. The modem will not recognize the backspace character if it is set to a value  
that is greater than 32 ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command line.  
When the echo command is enabled, the modem echoes back to the local DTE the  
backspace character, an ASCII space character, and a second backspace character.  
This means a total of three characters are transmitted each time the modem processes  
the backspace character.  
S6  
Wait Before Dialing  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
2-65  
2
seconds  
This register sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem must wait (pause)  
after going off-hook before dialing the first digit of the telephone number. The mo-  
dem always pauses for a minimum of two seconds, even if the value of S6 is less than  
two seconds. The wait for dial tone call progress feature (W dial modifier in the dial  
string) will override the value in register S6. This operation, however, may be affected  
by some ATX options according to country restrictions.

S7  
Connection Completion Time-Out  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
1-255  
50  
seconds  
This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must wait before hanging up  
because carrier is not detected. The timer is started when the modem finishes dialing  
(originate), or goes off-hook (answer). In originate mode, the timer is reset upon  
detection of an answer tone if allowed by country restriction. The timer also specifies  
the wait for silence time for the @ dial modifier in seconds. S7 is not associated with  
the W dial modifier.  
S8  
Comma Dial Modifier Time  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
0-65  
2
seconds  
This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when it encoun-  
ters a comma (“,”) in the dial command string.  
S10  
Automatic Disconnect Delay  
Range:  
Default:  
Units:  
1-254  
20  
0.1 seconds  
This register sets the length of time, in tenths of a second, that the modem waits  
before hanging up after a loss of carrier. This allows for a temporary carrier loss  
without causing the local modem to disconnect. The actual interval the modem waits  
before disconnecting is the value in register S10.  
S11  
DTMF Dialing Speed  
Range:

Notices  
FCC Regulations  
The following statements are provided in accordance with the Federal Communica-  
tions Commission (FCC) regulations. Please read these statements carefully before  
installing your modem.  
FCC Part 68 Requirements  
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the bottom of this  
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration  
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested,  
this information must be given to the telephone company.  
The REN is used to determine the maximum number of devices connected to your  
telephone line that will ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all,  
areas, the total REN of devices connected to a line should not exceed five (5.0). To  
find out the total permitted in your area, contact your local telephone company.  
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone  
company can discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, the company will  
notify you in advance. But if advance notice isnt practical, you will be notified as  
soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.  
Your telephone company can make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations,  
or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be  
notified in advance so you can make the changes needed to maintain uninterrupted  
service.  
If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact the manufacturer at the

not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-  
ference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference  
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful  
interference to radio and television reception, the user is encouraged to try to correct  
the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that  
to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
CAUTION: CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EX-  
PRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR  
COMPLIANCE COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO  
OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.  
Canadian Department Of Communications (CDOC)  
Requirements for End Users:  
Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equip-  
ment. This certification means the equipment meets certain telecommunications  
network requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will op-  
erate to the users satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment users should ensure that connection to the line is  
allowed by the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be in-  
stalled using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the companys in-  
side wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means  
of a telephone extension cord. Compliance with the above conditions may not pre-  
vent degradation of service in certain situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian mainte-  
nance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user  
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications  
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections  
of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present,  
are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
