1 Introduction
1.1 The Syncro 1496 Modem
The Syncro 1496 is a multi-standard autodial modem capable of passing
synchronous data at up to 14400 bps over leased (private wire) lines, and
PSTN (dial-up) lines.
The modem complies with the following ITU-T Recommendations:
V.33 14400 or 12000 bps synchronous operation.
V.32 9600 or 4800 bps synchronous operation.
V.32bis 14400, 12000 or 7200 bps synchronous operation.
V.29 9600, 7200 or 4800 bps synchronous operation.
V.22 1200 bps synchronous operation.
V.22bis 2400 bps synchronous operation.
The other principal features of the modem are:
• Synchronous full- or half-duplex operation over 2-wire leased line or
PSTN.
• Synchronous full-duplex operation over 4-wire leased line.
• Trellis coded modulation for enhanced performance.
• Near and remote end echo cancellation in V.32 and V.32bis modes.
• Automatic dialling using AT or V.25bis commands.
• An electronic storage system for telephone numbers. Numbers are
stored, and subsequently retrieved, by using the numbered buttons on
the front panel, or by AT commands.
• Automatic answering to V.25 of incoming calls. Disconnection of calls is
always completed 'cleanly' so that the modem is ready for the next call.
• Storage of up to 16 pre-set configurations.
• Comprehensive modem configuration using AT commands, which can
be from a Syncro 1496 or Syncro 1496R modem at a remote site, with
security controls to prevent unauthorised use of this facility.

2 Installation
Please refer to Appendix C for country-specific information.
2.1 Pre-Installation
In addition to your DTE, and depending on the way you set up and intend
to use your modem, you may need:
• A 25-pin male D-type (ISO 2110) cable to connect the modem to the DTE
(your computer or terminal). See Appendix B for details of the pin
connections.
• A telephone line (PSTN or leased), terminated with a standard socket.
• For asynchronous command of your modem you will need a separate
asynchronous command terminal with a V.24/RS-232-C serial port.
• For the standalone modem, a mains power socket outlet installed near
the modem, easily accessible, and capable of supplying 1.0 amps at the
nominal voltage and frequency.
The modem is designed for use in a domestic, office or computer room
environment. The standalone modem should be sited:
• Sufficiently close to the mains power outlet so as not to cause strain on
the connecting cable.
• Sufficiently close to the PSTN or leased line termination so as not to
cause strain on the connecting cord.
• Away from sources of heat such as radiators or direct sunlight.
• Away from sources of radiation such as motors and video displays.
X450-310851 Issue 2 2-1 Rev.0

2.2 Equipment Requirements
2.2.1 Data DTE
Your data DTE must operate synchronously. Note the following points:
• If you are using a PC, the standard serial port provided in most models
operates asynchronously; to use a PC for synchronous data, you need a
Synchronous Communications Adapter (consult your PC supplier).
• Simple terminals (VDUs) are usually asynchronous, although special
models designed to work synchronously are available.
• Most wide area and local area networking equipment will operate
synchronously.
2.2.2 Controlling the Modem
To control your modem, you will need to send AT commands to it. (V.25bis
commands are a special case, discussed in Chapter 10.)
For sending AT commands, you require a separate asynchronous
command terminal with the following character format:
1 start bit, 7 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit.
The data rate must be 9600 bps for a standalone modem or rackmount
controller card, or 1200 bps for a rackmount modem via a Y cable.
This terminal will be connected to the standalone modem's command port.
The command port for the rackmount modem is normally routed to the
rack Controller Card. Appendix B contains details of how to route the
command port via the DTE connector.
X450-310851 Issue 2 2-2 Rev.0

2.3 Installing the Standalone Modem
2.3.1 Power Supply Connection
WARNING: Do not connect the modem to the
mains socket or to the telephone line at this stage.
The standard modem is supplied for use on 230 VAC mains supplies. The
voltage for which it is set is shown on the rear panel. Check that the
voltage shown is correct for your mains supply before proceeding further.
The mains cable from the modem is provided with a moulded plug for
connection to a standard mains socket outlet. If this plug is not suitable for
your socket, refer to the Appendix entitled 'Country-Specific Information'
for details of how to change it. Do not use an adapter.
A special version of the modem is available for use on 24 to 48 VDC
supplies. Details are given in the Appendix entitled 'Technical Guide'.
When you are sure the modem is correctly rated for your mains supply,
ensure that the modem is switched off (
0 position) then plug the mains lead
into the mains supply. Do not switch on until all other connections have
been made.
2.3.2 DTE Port Connection
The synchronous data DTE must be connected via a cable to the modem's
DTE interface connector. A straight-through 25-way cable will be suitable
for many synchronous terminals, but there are some which require a crossover cable. If in doubt, consult the DTE's manual for connection details
and compare with information in Appendix B of this manual. See Figure 2-
1.
2.3.3 Command Port Connection
The command port allows you to connect a separate asynchronous
command terminal for entering commands, as shown in Figure 2-1.
The port is provided on a stereo jack socket. An adapter cable to convert
this to a standard 25-way D-type socket (ISO 2110) is provided (see
Appendix B for details).
The data format and speed for the command port is fixed at 7 data bits,
even parity, 9600 bps.

2.4 Installing the Rackmount Modem
The modem should only be used in a rack system for which it has been
designed and approved. Full installation details are given in the manual
for the rack system.
2.4.1 Power Supply Connection
The rackmount modem draws its power from the rack power supply. There
is no power switch on the modem.
2.4.2 DTE Port Connection
The connections for the modem's DTE port are via the 96-way connectors
between the modem circuit board and the rack system. Connections to the
DTE are made from the back of the rack. See Appendix B.
2.4.3 Command Port Connection
The connections for the modem's command port are via the 96-way
connectors between the modem circuit board and the rack system. See
Appendix B.
The format and speed for the command port is fixed at 7 data bits, even
parity, 1200 bps.
2.4.4 Telephone Line Connection
The modem's connections for the telephone line are via the 96-way
connectors between the modem circuit board and the rack system.
Connections to the telephone line are made from the back of the rack. See
the rack system manual for details.
X450-310851 Issue 2 2-5 Rev.0

2.5 Confidence Check
When the modem installation is complete, a brief confidence check may be
carried out to check that the modem is functioning.
2.5.1 Standalone Modem
1. Ensure that the modem power switch is off.
2. Check that all the front panel buttons are out.
3. Push in and hold in the
DATA button.
4. Switch on the modem power switch (while holding in the
DATA button).
5. Keep the
DATA button held in for 3 seconds then release it. The modem
is now in its factory default condition. It will send a RESTART message to
the command terminal.
6. Press in the
TEST button and then the AL button. The modem will
perform an analogue loop test and the
RUN LED will begin to flash.
7. Check the
DSR LED. It should stay off permanently. If it flashes on, an
error has been detected. In this case recheck the installation: if no
mistakes are found refer to your supplier.
8. Press the
AL and TEST buttons to release them.
2.5.2 Rackmount Modem
1. Fit the modem in the card guides of the rack, but not pushed fully home.

DA button.
4. Push the modem firmly into the rack (while holding in the
DA button).
5. Keep the
DA button held in for 3 seconds then release it. The modem is
now in its factory default condition. It will send a RESTART message to
the command terminal.
6. Press in the
TE button and then the AL button. The modem will perform
an analogue loop test and the
RUN LED will begin to flash.
7. Check the
DSR LED. It should stay off permanently. If it flashes on, an
error has been detected. In this case recheck the installation: if no
mistakes are found refer to your supplier.

3 Getting Started
This chapter covers basic details of how to set up your modem in a straightforward environment: how to control the modem from your DTE, and how
to use the AT command language to make a call whilst the modem is in its
default condition.
3.1 Starting Up
Before using the modem, ensure that it has been installed correctly as
described in Chapter 2.
The factory default is configuration 0 (described in Section 4.1). As this is
suitable for many uses on leased lines, you may not need to reconfigure the
modem. If this is so, follow the procedure below, checking that the modem
and command terminal (which may be the data DTE) respond as indicated.
1. Switch on the DTE and the command terminal.
2. Switch on the modem. The LED indicators on the front panel will reflect
the status of the DTE interface.
TXD, RXD and OH should be off.
3. Load the default factory configuration 0, as follows. Make sure all the
buttons on the modem's front panel are OUT. Press the
LOAD (L) button,
press and release the
ENTER (
|
) button, then release the LOAD (L) button.
4. Type the command AT on the command terminal keyboard and press
RETURN. The message OK should be displayed on the screen.
If factory configuration 0 is not suitable for your operation, go to Chapter 4
to choose a more suitable configuration, and repeat the procedure above,
using the buttons shown in Table 4-1 during step 3.
For example, to load configuration 10, ensure that buttons
2 and DIAL (D)
are in, and that all other buttons are out, before pressing
LOAD (L). After
pressing
ENTER (
|
), release LOAD (L), 2 and DIAL (D).
X450-310851 Issue 2 3-1 Rev.0

3.3 The AT Command Format
3.3.1 Basic Format
AT (attention) is the prefix to commands to the modem. It must be typed:
AT or at
in all upper or all lower case (not mixed cases).
Carriage return (<CR>) is the terminator to commands, causing the
modem to action them. It is produced by the
RETURN, ENTER or
|
key on your
DTE.
For example, if from your keyboard you type:
AT<CR>
the modem will respond with:
OK
AT by itself (followed by <CR>) is a command without any required
action. Your modem responding with OK indicates that it has recognised
the AT. This sequence is useful for checking that the modem is responding
correctly.
3.3.2 Example Commands
A useful command is *C, which will display a summary of your modem's
configuration. To execute this command, type:
AT*C<CR>
Another useful command is *S, which will display a summary of your
modem's S-register settings (S-registers are discussed in Chapter 9). To
execute this command, type:
AT*S<CR>
3.3.3 Combining Commands
If you wish to enter two or more commands, they can be combined on a
single command line up to a maximum of 80 characters, for example:
AT*C*S<CR>
will display your modem's configuration and then the S-register summary.
X450-310851 Issue 2 3-3 Rev.0

You can use space characters between commands to increase their
legibility, for instance:
AT
*C *S<CR>
will give an identical response to the previous sequence.
The only commands that cannot form part of a command string are %D, &F,
&L, %W, %X, Z, &Z and %Z.
3.3.4 Repeating Commands
You can cause the modem to repeat the last command sequence entered. If
you now type:
A/
this will cause the previous AT *C *S sequence to be repeated. Note that
this is an exception to the rule: it requires neither the AT prefix nor the
<CR> terminator.
3.3.5 Editing a Command Line
If you make a mistake when entering a command line, you can use the
backspace key to reposition the cursor and you can then correct the
mistake by overtyping.
3.3.6 Command Option Numbers
Some commands require you to enter a number (often referred to as n) to
specify one of a list of options (e.g. ATF4). If you omit the number, 0 is
assumed (for example ATE is the same as ATE0).
3.3.7 The OK Response
When a ''configuration'' command is successfully executed, the message OK
is returned by the modem. No messages are generated with ''dialling''
commands.
3.3.8 Response Codes
The result of entering commands can be sent to the terminal in various
forms, as selected by certain commands (X and /S).
X450-310851 Issue 2 3-4 Rev.0

3.4 Making a Call
When you have successfully followed the start-up procedure in Section 3.1,
the modem should be ready for operation. If you are using the PSTN, you
will need to make a call.
3.4.1 Dialling
To dial a number from your command terminal, type ATD followed directly
by the number you want to dial, then press
RETURN. For example, to dial
0123 456789 type ATD0123456789 <CR>.
If you are connected to a PBX line, the number for an outside line (for
example 9), must be inserted immediately before the number you want to
dial. On some older PBXs you may need to insert a comma after the
number for an outside line, to cause a delay before the modem continues
dialling, for example ATD9,0123456789 <CR>.
3.4.2 Call Progress
During the progress of the connection, various messages may appear on the
screen:
RINGING while the ringing tone can be detected from the remote
end.
CONNECT after successful connection to the number you are
calling.
If there are problems, the following messages may appear:
DIALTONE if the modem detects dial tone when it is not expected.
The modem then disconnects the call.
NO DIALTONE if dial tone is not detected when the modem goes on
line.
NO ANSWER if the number you are calling does not answer. The
modem disconnects automatically.
VOICE if the call is answered but answer tone is not detected.
This usually means that the call has been answered by
a person rather than a modem.
NO CARRIER if the modem you are calling 'answers' but cannot
communicate with your modem.
X450-310851 Issue 2 3-5 Rev.0

4 Modem Configurations
4.1 Factory Configurations
4.1.1 Introduction
In order to be able to match a wide variety of situations, your modem
incorporates very versatile communications capabilities, user features, and
automatic facilities. These include, for example:
– data transmission speeds,
– data transmission protocols,
– operational facilities (e.g. automatic dialling).
To simplify the task of configuring your modem, you can choose one of the
twelve pre-configured ''factory configurations'' that cover standard
applications. They are described in this section. Four more standard
applications are stored in the ''user configuration'' locations, described in
Section 4.2.
Should the standard configurations not be exactly what you need, you can
choose the one nearest to your requirements, modify it as necessary, and
store it as a ''user configuration'' in non-volatile memory, as described in
Section 4.2.
Then, to configure your modem, you only need to load the appropriate
configuration, either from the front panel as described in Section 4.3, or by
command (&F) as described in Section 4.4.
X450-310851 Issue 2 4-3 Rev.0

4.1.2 Factory Configuration List
The following standard factory configurations are provided:
Configuration Description

restoral to the leased line.
1 V.32bis, 14400 bps, PSTN, for dial backup with
autorestoral to the leased line.
2 V.32bis, 14400 bps, PSTN, for dial backup with manual
restoral to the leased line.
3 V.29, 9600 bps, 4-wire leased line with 4800 bps fallback.
X450-310851 Issue 2 4-4 Rev.0

These may be user-modified, but can be recalled to the default
configurations by resetting the modem.
Factory configurations 4, 5, 9 and 10 are suitable for PSTN operation. The
remainder are suitable for leased line (private wire) operation.
Configurations 4 and 5 are suitable for DTEs which issue V.25bis dialling
commands.
The default user configurations are suitable for dial backup operation.
In the following explanations, the full specification of each configuration is
shown as it would be presented on the DTE screen by use of the *C
command (see Chapter 8). For each parameter it shows the AT command
code, the command name, and the selected option.
Control Signals
The connection between the modem and the DTE includes a number of
control signals, which are monitored by the front panel indicators (see
Section 1.2.1).
The way these signals are used is controlled by the configuration in use. In
the following descriptions of the configurations, each control signal is
described as being in one of three modes. These are:
Normal The signal is sent in the normal manner. In this mode,
DTE signals must be controlled properly by the
originating DTE.
Forced On This can apply to control signals originated by the
modem. The modem sets the signal to the ON state at
all times. It therefore has no meaning as a control
signal, but is used to make the DTE function correctly.
Ignored This can apply to control signals originated by the
DTE. The modem ignores any changes in the signal
state and behaves as if the signal were permanently
ON. It is not necessary to have a connection to the
signal's pin on the DTE port connector.
Note that these modes can be changed by AT commands (described in
subsequent chapters).
For details of the significance of the control signals, refer to ITU-T
Recommendation V.24.
X450-310851 Issue 2 4-5 Rev.1

Factory Configuration 2
Operation : Leased line, V.32bis, automatic dial backup
Rates : Primary 14400, fallback 12000.
V.24 : Normal.
Commands : AT via the command port.
Typical Use : The modem operates in originate mode. Automatic dial
backup is enabled and on originating a dial backup
connection, the modem will perform a password check on
the answering modem. Once verified, transmission is
switched to the dial line. Disconnection and return to
leased line operation is by AT command, at either end of
the link.
A default password has been stored in the modem. If this
is deleted, the modem will omit the password check and
merely verify the state of the PSTN line before switching
to dial backup.
The configuration for dial backup may be stored in a user
configuration location and associated with the
appropriate telephone number.
The telephone number for automatic dial backup must be
stored in the modem in location N8 of the dialling-end
modem, which is then the master modem for dial backup
operation.
X450-310851 Issue 2 4-8 Rev.0

Factory Configuration 3
Operation : Leased line, V.32bis, automatic dial backup and restoral.
Rates : Primary 14400, fallback 12000.
V.24 : Normal.
Commands : AT via the command port.
Typical Use : The modem operates with automatic dial backup and
restoral to leased line. Dial backup is automatically
initiated if the leased line connection is lost.
If the modem subsequently detects that the leased line has
recovered, the dial backup connection is automatically
broken and transmission is restored to the leased line.
The telephone number for automatic dial backup must be
stored in the modem in N8 of the dialling-end modem.
A default password has been stored in the modem. If this
is deleted, the modem will omit the password check and
merely verify the state of the PSTN line before switching
to dial backup. The configuration for dial backup may be
stored in a user configuration location. For further
information on dial backup see Section 6.4.
X450-310851 Issue 2 4-10 Rev.0

Factory Configuration 11
Operation : 4-wire leased line, V.33 TCM, auto dial-backup and
restoral.
Rates : Primary 14400, fallback 12000.
V.24 : Normal.
Commands : AT via the command port.
Typical Use : Initiation of dial backup is automatic on loss of signal.
The telephone number for automatic dial backup must be
stored in the modem in N8 of the dialling-end modem,
along with the required PSTN backup configuration.
The remote modem should also use factory configuration
11. No number is stored in N8, indicating that it is the
answering end of the link. The PSTN backup
configuration should be loaded into directory location
N10.
With user configuration Z1 or Z2 stored alongside the dial
backup number, once connected the user configuration is
loaded, typically V.32bis 14400 bps, and transmission is
switched to the dialup line. When the leased line has been
restored and checked, data automatically reverts to V.33
leased line operation and the dialup line is disconnected.
For full details on dial backup while operating in V.33
mode, see Section 6.4 of this manual.
X450-310851 Issue 2 4-19 Rev.0

User Configuration 2
Operation : PSTN, V.32bis, manual restoral.
Rates : Primary 14400, fallback 12000.
V.24 : Normal.
Commands : AT via the command port.
Typical Use : This configuration is normally used in a larger system
when it is desirable for the user to decide when the system
should revert to the leased line.

4.4 Manipulating Modem Configurations
The method of loading a factory or user configuration from the front panel
was described in Section 4.3. This section describes how to ''recall'' and
''save'' configurations by the following commands.
&Fn Recall factory configuration
Zn Recall user configuration
&Wn Save user configuration
*C Display active configuration
A diagrammatic representation of the configurations and commands is
given in Figure 4-1.

MODEM
The ''active'' configuration is the one in operation. It is accessible from the
command terminal. The active configuration is automatically retained in
non-volatile memory when the modem is switched off.
You can recall a configuration (factory or user) from memory to become the
active configuration. You can then change and save the active
configuration to become a user configuration (0-3) in memory.
The relevant commands are summarised in Table 4-2.
Examples of displays obtainable by the *C command were given in Section
4.1.3.
X450-310851 Issue 2 4-28 Rev.0

5.5 Remote Configuration
Remote configuration enables you to obtain a copy of a remote modem's
active configuration, alter it, and send it back to become the remote
modem's new active configuration. Security control may be used to prevent
unauthorised remote configuration (see Section 5.6).
The commands involved are:
%E Remote configuration control
%X Remote up-load
%Z Modify the remote configuration
%W Stop modifying the remote configuration
%D Remote down-load
To illustrate the use of the remote configuration commands, the general
procedure is given below.
You must ensure that the setting of command %E allows remote
configuration.
Then, use the following commands:
ATDnnnnn Dial remote number.
AT%X Up-load a copy of the remote modem's current active
configuration. After the message MONITOR GRANTED is
displayed, you may enter the next command.
AT%Z Allow the remote configuration to be edited.
At this point you may confirm that you are in remote
configuration edit mode by using the *C command – the
configuration table will be headed REMOTE
CONFIGURATION.
You may now change items in the configuration by
using the relevant commands, followed by:
AT%W Return to local configuration and control.
AT%D Down-load the new configuration to the remote modem.
If the above operation has been successful, the message RECONFIGURE
GRANTED will be displayed and the line will be disconnected
.
X450-310851 Issue 2 5-5 Rev.0

To log-on to the remote modem:
1. Ensure that both modems involved in the remote log-on have ''N and
''E set correctly. (The default in all factory and user configurations is
''N3 and ''E1, which will allow correct operation.)
2. Load an appropriate PSTN configuration into the modem being used
for the PSTN connection (see Chapter 4 for a description of available
configurations).
3. Dial into the remote modem using AT''Xnnn where nnn is the
telephone number of the remote modem's LINE 3 (PSTN 1).
4. To confirm the remote log-on, both the local and remote modem's
command ports will display the message REMOTE CONTROL
GRANTED.
Once the remote log-on has been granted, all commands entered on the
command port of the local modem are transmitted to the remote modem.
All responses from the remote modem are sent back to the local modem's
command port terminal.
To log-off from the remote modem:
Either enter AT''K just to log-off, or enter AT''J to log-off and initiate a dial
backup attempt. In this case the dial backup number must have been
stored in memory location N8.
Note: Analogue loopback is not available when the remote log-on facility is
in use. Use of the A/ sequence is not supported either.

Modifiers
The modifiers listed below may be used with the Nn&Z command.
:: Store a remark with a telephone no
< > Secure telephone no
<Ctrl-F> Store a modem configuration with a telephone no
In addition, appropriate dialling modifiers may also be included (see
Section 6.2.4).
Modifiers are explained in detail in Chapter 8.
The <Ctrl-F> modifier is a very powerful feature of your modem. With it
you can specify a modem configuration to be linked to a particular
telephone number stored in memory. When that number is recalled to
make a call, the modem configuration will be changed just for the duration
of that call, and then will automatically revert to its usual configuration.

6.2 Dialling a Telephone Number
There are several ways in which you can dial a telephone number:
• By using the front panel buttons to autodial a number from location 0-7
of your modem's directory (Section 6.2.1).
• By manually dialling using a telephone (Section 6.2.2).
• By using the V.24 DTR signal to autodial a number from your modem's
directory (Section 6.2.3).
• By using the D command to dial a number (see Section 6.2.4).
• By using the DN command to autodial a number from your modem's
directory (and change the modem's configuration if required).
The commands concerned with dialling are:
D Dial a number (modifiers apply: see Section 6.2.4)
DN Dial a stored number (with changed configuration if required)
H Go on-hook
&Q Autodial by DTR
K Check call time
6.2.1 Autodialling via the Front Panel
You can cause the modem to dial any one of the first eight previouslystored directory numbers by using the front panel buttons:
1. Push in the
DIAL button.
2. Select the directory location containing the telephone number you wish
to dial by using the buttons labelled
4, 2 and 1 (binary) as follows:
Location
421
0 Out Out Out
1 Out Out In
2 Out In Out
3 Out In In
4 In Out Out
5 In Out In
6 In In Out
7InInIn
X450-310851 Issue 2 6-3 Rev.0

3. Press and release the ENTER button. The stored number will now be
dialled.
4. Release all the other buttons.
6.2.2 Manual Dialling by Attached Telephone
This procedure requires a telephone to be connected to your modem (see the
Appendix entitled 'Technical Guide').
1. Dial the required number as normal.
2. When you hear answer tone from the remote modem, press the
DATA
button on your modem's front panel.
3. Replace the handset on-hook.
4. The call will clear down when you press the
DATA button.
6.2.3 Autodialling by DTR
The autodial by DTR facility works as follows:
1. The DTR command (&Q) must be set to &Q2 for synchronous operation.
2. The DTE must control the DTR line, raising it to request a connection.
3. When the modem detects that the DTR line has been raised, it connects
to the telephone line and dials the number stored in memory location
N0.
4. To terminate the call, the DTE must drop DTR. This causes the modem
to disconnect.
Note that the modem will also disconnect if the remote modem disconnects.
You can terminate the call by issuing an H command.
6.2.4 Dialling by Command
When using the D command to dial a number, you can incorporate any of
the following modifiers:
P Pulse dial the following number(s).
T Tone dial the following number(s).
, Pause before continuing to dial.
W Wait for a dial tone.
! Flash break.
X450-310851 Issue 2 6-4 Rev.0

U Redial until answered.
/nnn Dial alternative number nnn.
6.2.5 Connection Sequence
Details of the events for a successful or unsuccessful connection were given
in Section 3.4.
6.2.6 The Blacklist
National regulations specify a maximum number of times that a number
may be automatically redialled within a specified time interval, if it is
busy, engaged or unobtainable when first dialled.
The telephone number blacklist is used to prevent the modem from
exceeding this limit when in autodial mode (that is, when the U modifier
has been included in the dial string).
The following conditions apply to this feature:
– The blacklist operates on PSTN calls only.
– Twenty blacklisted numbers can be accommodated at a time.
– Each number dialled with the U modifier is entered onto the blacklist,
and cleared only if the call is successful. A successful call is defined as
one which results in the response CONNECT XXXX.
– If the modem has blacklisted the maximum of 20 numbers, it will not
allow another number with the U modifier to be dialled until one of the
previously blacklisted numbers has timed out.
UK regulations are given in Appendix C. Note that when the modem is
being controlled by external communications software, the user must
ensure that this is set up so that repeat dialling obeys the regulations.
X450-310851 Issue 2 6-5 Rev.0

6.4 Dial Backup
The relevant commands are:
''B Initiate dial backup
''D Revert to leased line on DTR
''L Manual revert to leased line
*L Dial backup facility
Dial backup is the facility that enables your modem to initiate or receive a
call on its PSTN line if there is a failure on the leased line circuit.
Your modem can store up to twenty telephone numbers for autodialling
over the PSTN. Stored directory location 8 is used for the single line dial
backup number.
In the case of leased line failure, dial backup is initiated either
automatically or manually depending on the setting of the *L command.
To initiate dial backup manually you need only press the
DB button, and
the modem will autodial the backup number stored. Manual dial backup
can also be initiated by software command ''B. However, the modem will
only initiate dial backup if a telephone number is stored in N8.
If there is no number stored in position N8, the modem will act as a slave
modem and wait to be dialled from the master modem at the other end of
the failed leased line.
When your modem goes from leased line to dial backup mode, the PSTN
settings to which it will need to operate (data rate etc) are normally
determined by one of the stored user configurations.
Master and Slave
The dial backup procedures described in this section refer to ''master'' and
''slave'' modems. The master modem is the modem which initiates the dial
backup calls. It is assigned by storing a telephone number in location N8
by the command:
ATN8&Z <telephone number><CR>
A slave modem expects the dial backup to be initiated by receiving a call on
the PSTN from a master modem. To assign your modem to act as a slave,
directory location N8 must not contain a telephone number – enter the
command:
ATN8&Z<CR>
X450-310851 Issue 2 6-7 Rev.0

All dial backup configurations require one modem to be a master and one
modem to be a slave.
6.4.1 Single Call Dial Backup
This configuration will cause the modem to work as a full duplex 2-wire
link when operating on the PSTN.
The master modem will dial out on LINE 3 using the telephone number
stored in N8. The slave modem will answer an incoming call on LINE 3.

Example of Dial Backup Using Configuration Recall
With a modem operating in 4-wire leased line V.33 14400 bps mode with
dial backup enabled such as factory configuration 11, it is required that
transmission should be switched to V.32bis when the modem operates in
dial backup.
To achieve this the modem will have to alter its configuration from the one
that it is using on the leased line, to the preferred configuration on the
PSTN, during the time between the failure of the leased line and data
transmission over the PSTN.
We have already explained in Section 6.1.1 how <Ctrl-F> can be used to
store a modem configuration with a telephone number. By using this
powerful feature you can store the required V.32bis configuration together
with the backup telephone number in directory location N8 of the master
modem. When the modem goes into dial backup mode, it will dial the
number stored in N8 and automatically load the associated configuration.
The slave modem can only reply if it too has switched from the leased line
configuration to an appropriate PSTN configuration. Using <Ctrl-F>,
load the configuration into directory location N10 of the slave modem:
ATN10&Z<Ctrl-F> <Configuration No> Zn <CR>
where n is the user configuration number.
X450-310851 Issue 2 6-8 Rev.0

(Note that when configuring a directory location of a rackmounted modem,
there is no prompt message asking for a configuration number.)
On answering a call from the master modem, the answering modem looks
at the directory location held in S-register S43. If the <Ctrl-F> character
is present, the associated configuration is loaded. The directory location
held in S43 can be altered to any of the possible locations 0-20 (the default
for S43 is directory location 10).
When transmission is restored to the leased line, both modems will revert
to their original configuration.
For your convenience three V.32bis backup configurations have been prestored in user configuration locations 0, 1 and 2. These were described in
Section 4.2.
6.4.2 Automatic Dial Backup with Autorestoral
When configured for automatic dial backup with autorestoral, each modem
monitors the leased line. If the master modem detects a loss of carrier for a
period greater than that stored in S10, then it initiates a dial backup.
When the dial backup calls have been established and data is routed via
the PSTN, the leased line is monitored for recovery by a series of special
tones. On detecting that the leased line has recovered and is working in
both directions (for a period greater than that stored in S57 if you are using
2-wire, the period of time being fixed at 20 seconds on a 4-wire leased line
circuit), the master modem will signal the slave modem to drop the PSTN
call and return to leased line operation.
6.4.3 Manual Dial Backup Via the Front Panel
If manual dial backup is enabled (*L1 being set), pressing the front panel
DB button on the master modem will initiate a dial backup. To return to
leased line operation, release the
DB button on the master modem.
6.4.4 Manual Dial Backup Via Software Command
If manual dial backup is enabled (*L1 being set), issuing the command ''B
will force the modem into dial backup mode, regardless of the state of the
leased line. To return to leased line operation, issue the command ''L.
X450-310851 Issue 2 6-9 Rev.0

6.5 Rate Adaption (Fallback/Fallforward)
Rate adaption is the facility which allows your modem to change its
connection speed to the remote modem. This may be achieved either
manually or automatically.
6.5.1 Manual Fallback
Fallback operation may be selected by the following methods:
– Pressing the
FB button on the front panel
– Using the %F command
– Using the %B command to determine the way the modem will react to
pin 23 on the V.24 interface.
You can see whether the modem is in primary or fallback mode by using
the *C command and checking the display (%F0 = primary rate, %F1 =
fallback rate).
6.5.2 Auto Fallback
Auto fallback is the facility which allows your modem to change its
connection speed in response to the prevailing line conditions.
The relevant commands are:
''Q Leased line quality monitor
/Q PSTN quality monitor
''G Good signal quality threshold
''P Poor signal quality threshold
''M Signal quality summary
When enabled, the signal quality monitor facility monitors the quality of
the signal received from the line. If the quality falls below that set by the
''P command, the modem will request a fallback to a slower connection
speed.
Once the signal quality increases beyond that set by the ''G command, the
modem falls forward to a faster connection speed, up to the maximum
defined by the primary modulation format (set by the F command).
The PSTN quality monitor may also initiate a re-dial, if the line quality
does not improve.

7 Diagnostic Facilities
If you encounter operational problems please refer to the Appendix entitled
Country-Specific Information before starting diagnostic tests.
7.1 Introduction
Operational problems may be caused by any of the following:
Faulty local, or remote, DTE.
Faulty local, or remote, modem.
Faulty telephone line.
Communications software set up incorrectly.
The modem can run the following diagnostic tests to help locate the source
of operational problems:
Local Analogue Loopback, with or without self-test (Section 7.2.1).
Remote Digital Loopback, with or without self-test (Section 7.2.2).
The self-test feature allows a pattern generator to send test sequences
through the modem. These are error-checked and, when the test is
terminated, the modem responds with the number of errors encountered.
Tests can be activated by:
The front panel buttons (Section 7.3).
AT commands (Section 7.4).
Signals in the DTE interface (Section 7.5).
Sequence of Testing
The Local Analogue Loopback test should always be activated first, as this
test checks the connection between the local DTE and the local modem's
modulator/demodulator.
The Remote Digital Loopback test should be activated next. This test
checks the connection from the local DTE, over the telephone line, to the
remote modem's modulator/demodulator.
Analysis of each test result should indicate the source of possible faults.
X450-310851 Issue 2 7-1 Rev.0

7.2 Test Details
7.2.1 Local Analogue Loopback
Using the Modem's Test Pattern Generator (Self-Test)
The modem's test pattern generator transmits a known message internally
through the modem and compares the message received with the message
sent. It then reports any errors, and displays an error count at the end of
the test.

7.3 Testing via the Front Panel
You can use the buttons on the front panel of the modem to perform
loopback tests, using either the self-test feature, or an external terminal or
test set.
7.3.1 Local Analogue Loopback
Using the Modem's Test Pattern Generator (Self-Test)
1. Press the
TEST button, then the AL button. The RUN indicator should
flash to show that a test is in progress.
2. The
DSR indicator will flash each time a test pattern mismatch occurs.
3. To terminate the test, release the
TEST and AL buttons in any order. The
total number of errors will be displayed on your terminal. If your
modem is operating correctly you will get the response 000 ERRORS.
4. You may inject errors (to check that the test pattern is working
correctly) if an appropriate /T option is set, by using the
ENTER button.
Using an External Test Source
1. Press the
AL button.
2. The
DCD indicator should light and the RUN indicator flash. If the DSR
indicator lights, there is a fault on the modem.
3. Attach a terminal or test set (set to synchronous mode), running from
the modem's clock, to the DTE port of your modem.
4. Transmit a test pattern. If the pattern is echoed back, the analogue loop
is working correctly. If the pattern is not echoed, or is corrupted, check
the LEDs:
– If only the
TXD light flashes when the pattern is sent from the
terminal, check the terminal settings and DTE cable. If these are
correct, the modem is faulty.
– If both the
TXD and RXD lights flash when a pattern is sent from the
terminal, and no pattern or only a corrupted pattern is echoed back,
check the terminal settings and the DTE cable. If these are correct,
the modem is faulty or strapped incorrectly.
X450-310851 Issue 2 7-4 Rev.0

7.3.2 Remote Digital Loopback
Using the Modem's Test Pattern Generator (Self-Test)
1. Establish a connection with the remote modem (which must be ITU-T
V.54 compatible).
2. On the local modem, depress the
TEST button, then the RDL button, and
leave both buttons depressed. The
RUN indicator should flash to show
that the test is in progress.
3. The
DSR indicator will flash each time a test mismatch occurs.
4. To terminate the test, release the
TEST and RDL buttons (in any order).
The total number of errors will be displayed on your terminal. If your
modem is operating correctly you will get the response 000 ERRORS.
5. You may inject errors (to check that the test pattern is working
correctly) if an appropriate /T option is set, by using the
ENTER button.
Using an External Test Source
1. Establish a connection with the remote modem (which must be ITU-T
V.54 compatible).
2. On the local modem, depress the
TEST button followed by the RDL button,
then release the
TEST button.
3. Attach a terminal or test set (set to synchronous mode) running from the
modem's clock to the DTE port of your modem.
4. Transmit a test pattern. If the pattern is echoed back, the remote digital
loop is working correctly. If the pattern is not echoed, or is corrupted,
check the LEDs:
– If only the
TXD light flashes when the pattern is sent from the
terminal, check terminal settings and DTE cable. If these are
correct, the modem or line is faulty.
– If both the
TXD and RXD lights flash when a pattern is sent from the
terminal, and no pattern or only a corrupted pattern is echoed back,
check terminal settings and the DTE cable. If these are correct, the
modem or line is faulty.
X450-310851 Issue 2 7-5 Rev.1

7.4 Testing by Command
The following commands are available for testing:
&T Select modem test operation
/T Test pattern
&B Delay busying
I Display modem identity codes
7.4.1 Local Analogue Loopback
This procedure tests connections between the local DTE and local modem.
It can be used with, or without, the modem's self-test feature.
1. Ensure that the modem can accept AT commands and is on-hook.
2. If required set the test timer with the command ATS18=n (n = 1 to 255
seconds).
3. Enter the command AT&T1 (without self-test) or AT&T8 (with self-test),
and press
RETURN.
4. If you selected &T1 (without self-test), you must transmit a test message.
This should be echoed back via the modem's analogue loopback
connection.
If you selected &T8 (with self-test), the test sequence is automatic and
the circuit is checked for errors. Errors may be injected with the
command AT&T99.
5. To terminate the test manually, enter the command AT&T0 and press
RETURN. The modem responds with the message OK.
If you had selected the self-test procedure, the error count is also
displayed.

If you had selected the self-test feature, the error count is also displayed.
If the call is disconnected during the test, the test procedure is terminated.
X450-310851 Issue 2 7-7 Rev.0

7.5 Analogue Parameters
The command is:
''S Display analogue parameters
Analogue parameters give information on the quality of the line over
which the modem is transmitting data. These parameters are derived from
the performance of the modem, and provide an indication of the
line/modem characteristics. They should not be taken as calibrated
measurements.
Note: Unless you are familiar with the data given by the analogue
parameters, you should not contact your communications network provider
until you are confident that a line problem exists.
Analogue parameters can only be displayed once the modem is trained and
receiving valid carrier from the remote modem. Any attempt to access
them with the modem off-line (or during training) will result in the
message ERROR being returned.
Analogue Parameters are displayed in the following format:
Local Modem Analogue Parameters
01 Rx Level –20 dBm
07 Round Trip Delay 10 ms
08 Far End Echo –84 dBm
09 Phase Roll 0 Hz
11 EQM Value 0000
12 Signal Quality 1
13 Signal Noise 44 dB
14 Estimated BER <10
-8
An explanation of the parameters displayed is as follows:
01 Receive Level:
This is the level of the received carrier as seen by the modem. An
attenuation figure for the communications line can be calculated
using this information. Normally, in the UK, modems on leased lines
transmit at –13 dBm, and on the PSTN at –9 dBm.
Example: Receive level is –20 dBm. The remote modem is
transmitting at –13 dBm, therefore the attenuation is –20 minus –13
= –20 +13 = –7 dBm (a loss of 7 dBs).
X450-310851 Issue 2 7-8 Rev.0

07 Round Trip Delay:
This is a measurement of the time taken for the data to be
transmitted once from local to remote and back again. By dividing
this delay by 2, the time taken for data to reach the remote end can be
obtained.
This information is particularly useful on internationally dialled
connections, to determine if the path chosen is satellite or cable.
Cable exhibits a much lower round trip delay time and may be more
suitable for systems that require a fast response time. Typical delays
for transatlantic satellites are in the order of 800 ms, and for
transatlantic cable 150 ms.
08 Far End Echo:
This is a measurement of the amount of transmitted signal reflected
back toward the transmitting modem from the remote end. Because
V.32 uses an echo-cancelling principle to transmit data, an echo level
that is too high can cause data errors and the modems to retrain,
causing breaks in service. A far-end echo figure of greater than –40
dBm would be a large amount of far-end echo.
09 Phase Roll:
Phase roll is caused by the combination of two effects, Far End Echo
and Frequency Shifts. The effect of phase roll will cause bursts of
errors to occur at regular intervals: the figure given will be a
measurement of the frequency offset on the communications line in
Hertz (Hz). V.32 will normally work with levels of phase roll up to 7
Hz; however this will also depend on the amount of far-end echo.
11 EQM Value:
Eye Quality Monitor (EQM) is a value produced by the modem to
indicate the quality of the received signal, and is a measurement of
deviation from the ideal signal. The larger the value, the worse the
received signal.
Note: This value is used to calculate other parameters and should not
be used on its own as a measurement of line quality.
12 Signal Quality:
This value is the most useful and most important, and should be used
if you are unsure of how to interpret the other values given. It is an
overall estimation of the line quality expressed as a numeric value
between 1 and 15. It is calculated from the EQM value and bit error
X450-310851 Issue 2 7-9 Rev.0

rate information. The lower the value the better the quality of
service, as indicated below.
Value Performance
1-2 Very good
2-4 Good
4-6 Fair
6-10 Bad
10-12 Very Bad
12-15 Unusable
13 Signal Noise:
This is a measurement of the difference in level of signal, to the level
of random noise on the communications line, expressed in dB. Each
modulation scheme has a different minimum level of signal to noise
at which it will perform satisfactorily. For example, V.32 will
require a minimum level of about 20 dB, whereas V.33 will require a
minimum level of about 27 dB. These figures will vary with different
line types and speed of transmission. In general the larger the figure
the better; a very low signal to noise will indicate a poor
communications line.
14 Estimated BER (Bit Error Rate)
This is an estimation of errors that can be
expected when transmitting data, expressed as 'greater than' or 'less
than' a figure of 10
-n
, n being a value between 1 and 8.
Example: A BER of <10
-8
will indicate a bit error rate of less than 1
bit in every 100 million bits sent; a BER of <10
-7
would indicate a bit
error rate of less than 1 bit in every 10 million bits sent, and so on
down to <10
-1
which indicates a bit error rate of greater than 1 bit in
every 100 bits sent.
X450-310851 Issue 2 7-10 Rev.0

7.6 Additional Modem Status Codes
To provide the user with more information on the status of the modem, the
*S response (see Chapter 9) has been expanded. These codes are used by
the Network 16 Network Management System, or the local user, to access
the detailed operating characteristics of the modem.
The results are output in hexadecimal format only, and may consist of

*S16 Last Loopback Test Result
*S16 is used to store the last test result produced by the modem
when performing an AL or RDL with self test. This byte is only
updated when another test result is received.
When a test starts, this value is set to 000. While the test is in
operation this counter will be updated every time an error is
detected, allowing a user to monitor the state of a test.
*S17 Dial Backup Progress Monitor
*S17 is used to map the progress of automatic dial backup and
restoral operation, as below:
Bit 0 Definition
0 Normal leased line operation
1 Leased line failed, automatic dial backup in progress
Bit 2 Bit 1
0 0 Leased line stopped, AT command backup requested
0 1 Leased line stopped, Manual dial backup requested
1 0 Future use
1 1 Leased line failed, DCD timeout
Bit 3 Bit 4
0 0 Line 1 awaiting dial backup call
0 1 Line 1 dialling call
1 0 Line 1 call failed
1 1 Line 1 call connected
