Location Factors
8 V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems
Installation
Determining the optimum location is the combination of several factors and
compromises. For the desktop installation it is a matter of operator
convenience and effectiveness, and the modem's proximity to line power, to
the telephone wall jack, to the telephone set (if it is to be used with the
modem) and to the location of the terminal equipment.
The rackmount chassis is typically located in a cabinet/rack that holds other
equipment or other rackmount chassis of modems. Adequate line power for
all the equipment in the cabinet must be available or brought to the chosen
location. The modem printed circuit assemblies (cards) require about 15
inches in front of the cabinet to be plugged in and out of the rackmount
chassis. Since an operator is expected to walk in front of the cabinet to
operate and observe the front panel on some occasions the space for
passage should at least be the 15 inches needed for the modem.
The rackmount modems and their chassis are designed with free airflow in
the vertical direction to provide natural convection cooling. The
specifications for the modems require a maximum ambient temperature for
the modem card of 122° degrees F. The modem rackmount chassis may
be stacked and the air will flow through the stack, but the considerations of
the temperature and the flow of the air become more critical. When
rackmount modem chassis are located in cabinets with other equipment
that would block the convection cooling it is necessary to provide a
minimum of one and one-half inches of unobstructed space at the top and
bottom so that airflow is not restricted. When the heat generated by the
equipment in the cabinet cannot be ventilated by convection cooling then
forced airflow is required. This may be done by the addition of a blower
assembly to the cabinet to force air through the equipment. In a computer
room there may be cooled air moving through ducts that may be vented into
the cabinet by only providing the appropriate openings in the floor.
Telephone Line Access
The proximity to the telephone lines must be considered in the planning
phase of the installation. The consideration of routing dial lines from a
corporate PBX system may be involved and require consultation with the
group that maintains the PBX system. The routing of bundles of cables and
the consideration of the 50 pin connector termination or the use of multiple
RJ-45 type jacks requires analysis. The future expansion or changing
requirements of the data communication system may become a part of this
decision. The use of digital lines has many of the same considerations, but
it is more likely that the Bell Operating Company serving your facility must
be consulted for determining the location for the line installation effort and
the type of connections that are the most reasonable for now and in the
future. The schedule for the planned telephone line installation may
become a critical part of completing the installation in a timely manner.
System Start-Up
V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems 9
Installation
A common start-up procedure applies after the modem installation is
completed through the power on sequence. Your AJ Modem is shipped
from the factory with a common default configuration. The factory settings
for the various modem functions are presented in Table 3.1. This
configuration is stored in non-volatile memory and can be reviewed at any
time by the user with the status AT&Sn command (see Chapter 3). If the
"n" position is omitted then the full twelve pages are presented, but the
continuation of the status display can be aborted by typing any character
except <enter>. If n = the desired page of the status display, then only that
page is presented
After connecting the modem to the DTE and to the telephone line or lines,
the user should look over the option settings and note which items must be
changed from the factory settings to configure the modem appropriately for
the system and application being used. As shipped, the User Configuration
0 is the same as the dial-up Factory Configuration 0.

Common Operations
The AJ Modems are typically operated using the industry-standard AT
command set. The AT commands for these modems have been expanded
beyond the standard set in order to incorporate the many additional
features that are included in these modems. AT commands are issued to
the modem in Command Mode. The modem is in Command Mode when it
is disconnected from the phone line. This is sometimes referred to as the
Idle Mode.
An asynchronous communication program eliminates the need to learn the
modem commands. All AT commands, except A/ and the escape code
(+++) begin with the letters AT, meaning "attention". Several commands
may share a line as a single string of commands, but only one AT prefix is
required, at the beginning of the line. Each command consists of the
following elements:
• The two character sequence AT
• A command
• A command parameter (optional)
• A carriage return
Example:
To enter the command 'Answer', type ATA and <enter>.
If the subscript n = 0 is desired it is not necessary to type the "0". If the n position is left blank the modem assumes a "0". Table 6.2 provides the
full details of the AT commands.
Some commands do not have parameters. Any missing parameter in a
command is assigned the value zero, which may be a valid parameter for
the command. The sequence followed by AT command causes the modem
to enter a command state. That is, AT without a command serves as a
wake up code and an "OK" appears on the screen.
The modem queues commands in a 40-character command line. The
command line beginning with AT can have several commands. A separator
is not required between the commands. The command line format is:
AT command (parameter)...
(enter)
V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems 19

Modes and Configurations
When a carriage return is received, which terminates the command line, the
commands are performed in the order in which they are sent to the modem.
If more them 40 characters are sent to the modem, an error occurs and all
command must be re-entered.
Most users only need to use a small portion of the AT command set, the
following paragraphs discuss how to perform the most common day-to-day
modem functions utilizing the AT commands.
After a command is entered, the modem sends a message, or result code,
to the terminal screen. Most commands are acknowledged by OK. The
modem can be arranged to send the result code in words or as digits with
the Word/Digit ATVn command. The most common result codes are:
WORD CODEDIGIT CODEMEANING
OK 0 Command line executed
without error.
CONNECT 1Connection established.
RING 2 Ring signal detected on
the line.

Modes and Configurations
Selecting a Factory Configuration
The leased line/dial-up modems have five factory default and five user
configurations. Any of these configurations can be called into action by the
AT command set, by association with a dialed number, or by the front
panel. The default factory configuration is for the most common application
of dial-up operation (AT&F0).
The factory configurations are:
Leased Line Factory Configurations 0 through 4
• DIAL-UP (AT&F0)
• 4W LEASED LINE ORIGINATE MODE (AT&F1)
• 4W LEASED LINE ANSWER MODE (AT&F2)
• 4 WIRE LEASED LINE ORIGINATE MODE W/UADBU (AT&F3)
• 4 WIRE LEASED LINE ANSWER MODE W/UADBU (AT&F4)
Dial-Up Factory Configurations 0 through 4
• DIAL-UP (AT&F0)
• DIAL-UP & DSR, CD, CTS FORCED ON (AT&F1)
• DIAL-UP & DSR, CD, CTS FORCED ON (AT&F2)
• V.25bis HDLC/SDLC (AT&F3)
• V.25bis BISYNC (AT&F4)
As shipped from the factory, "Factory Configuration 0" is also stored as the
"User Configuration 0", "Factory Configuration 1" is also stored as "User
Configuration 1", "Factory Configuration 2" is also stored as "User
Configuration 2", "Factory Configuration 3" is also stored as the "User
Configuration 3", and "Factory Configuration 4" is also stored as "User
Configuration 4". The desired differences can then be entered and stored
as user defined configurations. The factory configurations are defined in
Table 3.1 by using the DIAL-UP, AT&F0, as the reference and the basic
configuration.
V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems 21
Modes and Configurations
Selecting a Configuration By AT Command
The AT&Fn command causes the modem to load the factory configuration
"n" into the active memory of the modem, putting the modem into a known
operating state. The AT%Mn command will load into active memory one of
the user configurations "n" stored with the AT&Wn command, putting the
modem into a known operating state.
The configuration can be used as it is, or modified to fit the application. If
the configuration is modified, it can either be abandoned at the end of the
session or stored into non-volatile memory with the AT&Wn command as
shown below.
The AT&Wn command stores a new user-specified configuration in nonvolatile memory. The new configuration is based on the current settings of
the modem S-registers. This new configuration will be active if it is
associated with a number to be dialed or activated by the AT%Mn
command.
FORMAT: AT&Wn
where n = 0 - 4 for the user configurations %M0 through %M4
where n = 5 - 9 for the factory configurations &F0 through &F4
The modem will load the last configuration that was saved when it is
powered up. A factory configuration can be used without deleting the user
configuration as long as the factory configuration is not saved as the user
configuration with the AT&Wn command.
Special Reset Command - AT&W255
This is a special command that resets the modem to the factory settings
including the erasing of all telephone numbers and attributes stored, and
the erasing of all passwords that may have been stored. However, this
command does not compromise the password security features of the
modem because if a supervisor password is stored then that password is
required in order to enter this AT&W255 command. The stored
configurations will be set to the factory conditions as given in Table 3.1.
This may be a useful and a known starting point in setting the modem for
differing applications. This special command is useful when the modem is
moved to a new location or a new application is being implemented. By
utilizing the AT&W255 the factory configurations are set at a known starting
point, and telephone numbers, attributes and security features are erased
for re-entry as required.
International Variations to the Configuration
When these modems are used for international calls, there are a few
settings that should be changed. To receive a modem call from some
European countries, the guard tone must be turned on. England requires
22 V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems
Modes and Configurations
an answering modem to have an 1800 Hz guard tone. Some Danish
central offices require a 550 Hz guard tone. The guard tones are turned on
with the AT&Gn command. If a required guard tone is not present, the
central office will disconnect the call within two minutes. When originating
an international call, S-Register 7 should be set to 120 seconds
(ATS7=120) to allow for the possible extended time for a call to be
connected. This assures there will be enough time for the call to be
connected and for the modems to train. Some software packages have a
limit for the modem connect time, e.g. Crosstalk default is 30 seconds.
Usually there is some way to increase the default time.
V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems 23
Modes and Configurations
Timers
These modems have several timers that control the connection to the
phone line and the modem-DTE connection.
>Command Mode Inactivity Timer: In Command Mode, if the
carriage return <CR> is not entered within 30 seconds after the AT
entry, the command that follows is ignored. To resume work, you must
enter AT again to wake up the modem.
>Online Inactivity Timer: If no data is transferred for the period of
time specified in S-Register 32, the modem will automatically
disconnect from the telephone line. The inactivity can be related to
transmit data only, receive data only or to both as determined by the
AT%In command - see Chapter 6. The default is for the inactivity timer
to be disabled, AT%I0. Also, if S32 set to 0 the inactivity timer is
disabled. S32 may be zero or set to a positive value of 1-255 minutes
(asynchronous mode only).
>Abort Timer: If no carrier tone is detected within the time period
specified in S-Register 7, the modem will drop the line. The default
time period is 60 seconds.
>Loss of Carrier: If the modem loses carrier, it will disconnect from
the telephone line after the period of time specified by S-Register 10.
The default is 2.0 seconds.
In Table 3.1, on the following pages, the first column displays the option,
the second column indicates the current option setting, and the third column
lists the associated AT command.
Note: An * (asterisk) in T able 3.1 preceding any option setting indicates
a change from the dial-up factory setting.

Dial-Up Operation
The modems can be used in the dial-up mode over the switched network.
The following procedure will allow the user to quickly set up the modem for
this common installation. The actual installation may be different from the
example. In that case, the user must interpret the instructions to fit the
application and the equipment used. The following procedure assumes the
modem is set to the as shipped factory default configuration and an
asynchronous terminal or PC running a terminal emulator program is
provided.
Connect the modem to the terminal or PC using an RS-232 cable with pins
2, 3, 7 and 20 as the minimum connection. If the terminal or PC does not
have a pin 20 (DTR) output, this signal can be forced on in the modem with
the AT&D0&W <CR> command (<CR> = Carriage Return or ENTER).
Some terminals or PCs require one or more of pins 5, 6 and 8 to operate.
In that case, those pins will require connection and/or be forced on by the
modem. See the AT commands in Table 6.1 + 6.2.
Set the terminal or PC speed to the highest speed of operation for
communications. The DTR LED on the front panel modem should be
illuminated. DTR must be on for an originating modem to connect or for an
answering modem to answer a call.
TYPE: AT <CR> Modem responds: OK
If the modem does not respond, the other pins mentioned above may
require connection and/or be forced on using the dip switches. The RS-232
cable may be mis-wired.

To Originate A Call
TYPE: ATDT<telephone number><CR>
The modem speaker will turn on. The following sounds will be heard:
Dial tone.
Touch tones as the modem dials.
The ring signal or a busy signal.
The answer tone from the remote modem.
A series of harsh sounds as the modems "handshake" and "train".
The following messages, as a minimum, will be sent to the terminal:
BUSY
or
CONNECT 28800/V.42bis (or another speed), or
CONNECT 19200/V.42bis (or another speed)
The speaker will turn off when the modems have finished the connection
sequence (handshake and training) and the CD LED will illuminate.
If the telephone line is not of good quality the modem may redial, or the
modem may operate at a lower speed and send a CONNECT message to
the terminal or PC. If the terminal does not auto-baud, or the modem is not
set for constant terminal speed, it will be necessary to change the terminal
speed.
To Answer A Call:
Connect the equipment as above.
TYPE: ATS0=1&W <CR> Modem responds: OK
The modem is now set to answer a call.
Note: This step may not be necessary. The modem is set for auto-
answer when shipped.
When a call comes in, the modem speaker will indicate the ringing.
The modem starts answering by sending the answer tone and starting the
training sequence. A series of harsh sounds will be heard as the modems
"handshake" and "train".
The speaker will turn off and the CD LED will illuminate on the modem front
panel.
The modem is now connected with the far-end modem.

Disconnecting From The Telephone Line
There are several ways to disconnect the modem from the telephone line to
end a call:
> Press the DL/DIS switch on the front panel; RESET on the Fax Modem.
> Enter the escape code (+++) to return the modem to "AT" command
mode, then issue the ATH disconnect code from the DTE.
> If the modem is set to pay attention to DTR (AT&D2 is selected) turn off
DTR from the DTE or turn off the DTE. The modem will sense the Onto-Off transition of DTR and will disconnect from the line.
> The modem will automatically disconnect if the remote modem
disconnects.
> If a positive value is stored in S-Register 32, the modem will automatically
disconnect from the line if no data is transmitted, received or both
(depending on the AT%In command) after the number of minutes
specified in S-Register 32. Setting S-Register 32 to 0 disables the online
inactivity timer (asynchronous mode only).
> Turn off or unplug the modem from the wall connection.

Busy-Out
Busy-Out is typically used in applications where multiple modems are used
in a pooling environment and all incoming calls must be accounted for. If a
modem goes bad, it may block all other modems "behind" it from receiving
calls if not made busy. By enabling Busy-Out, the rotary group will "skip"
the bad modem and go to the next available modem.
Conditions that will cause a modem "busy-out" to occur include:
1. The modem power-up self-test failed.
2. No +5v power supplied to the modem.
3. The modem rings 5 times without going off hook (this might occur if no
DTR signal is present).
4. The modem answered 5 consecutive incoming calls without
successfully connecting with the remote modem. This might occur if
the DSP is defective or the phone line is connected to the wrong jack.
Note: 1) Jumpers J-12 and J-13 must be put in the ON position
2) When a modem busy-out condition occurs the DTR, DSR, CD,
CTS, SQ, ERR, TST and speed LEDs will flash continuously.
Non-flashing LEDs will indicate the type of failure that has
occurred:
DSR Ring without answer
CD Failed power-up self-test
CTS Failed answer handshake

Phone Directory
AJ modems have a 100-number directory to store telephone numbers,
name codes, passwords, attributes and call-linking codes. Information is
entered in the directory with the AT&Zn command.
To display the phone number list, enter the AT&N command. This
command displays the list of the phone numbers stored in non-volatile
memory. The format of the display and an example follows:
# NAME PASSWORD PHONE # LINK CNF ATT
R
00 JOHN(408) 555-000004D
01 FRANK B24E451 (408) 555-1111 N
02 HENRY Ad24rE (408) 555-2222 C
03 TOM (415) 555-3333 1 D
04 JOE (415) 555-3333 D
"#"The index of the stored phone number. This
number can range from 0 to 99.
"NAME"A 12-character ASCII string which is used for
dialing and answer security.
"PASSWORD"A 12-character ASCII string which is used for
answer security.
"PHONE NUMBER" A 25-character phone number, including
hyphens, parentheses, and dial modifiers.
"LINK"The index of the next stored number in a chain.
If an attempted call fails, the modem then dials
the "linked" number. In the above example,
suppose a call is made to John by typing
"ATDS0". If John's phone is busy then the
modem will automatically dial Joe.
"CNF"The stored configuration associated with this
phone number. This number can range from 0
to 9. In the above example, suppose a call is
made to Tom by typing "ATDS3". The
configuration stored in location 1 will be loaded
before dialing the phone number.
V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems 41
Modes and Configurations
"ATTR"The attributes associated with this stored
number. Valid attributes are:
A - Auto initiated call (DTR or front panel)
D - Dial out location
N - Pass through answer security location
C - Call back answer security location
S - Secured location (no display)
P - Password transmit location
AT&Zn is used to store a phone number and associated information in nonvolatile memory at location "n". FORMAT:
AT&Zn:NAME:PASSWORD:PHONE:LINK:CNF:ATTR
Example:
AT&Z5:BILL:555-1234
stores the number "555-1234" at stored location 5 with the name
"BILL". The PASSWORD, LINK and CNF values are left blank to
indicate that they are not used. The ATTR will default to "D".
Example:
AT&Z7:SUE:T3O68:555-4321:::C
stores the number "555-4321" at stored location 7 with the name
"SUE", password "T3O68". The LINK and CNF values are blank
to indicate they are not used. ATTR is set to "C". An asterisk can
be used when changing a value in an existing phone number
record.
Example:
AT&Z4:*:*:*:*:N
will change the ATTR to "N" while leaving the remaining
information unchanged.
Example:
You want to make a long distance call using a credit card number
that makes the phone number longer than the standard 25
character limit:
In location 0 (AT&Z0), the "+" character at the end of the phone
number string indicates that more digits are to be added to the
phone number. The LINK value of 1 is used to extend the phone

number value into the next directory listing (AT&Z1). The ATTR
is set to D.
Security
There are extensive security features in the AJ modems to prevent
unauthorized access to the modem or attached equipment. The operation
of these features allows different means of security to be utilized as best
suited to the application. There are some precautions that should be taken
to make access more difficult:
> Passwords should be protected on a "need to know" basis.
> Passwords should be changed frequently, especially if there is a
turnover of personnel.
> Passwords should be alphanumeric and not something easily guessed.
The most frequently used combination for the safes on the Manhattan
Project was "238". If "TEST" or "JOE" were used for passwords, the
most unsophisticated attempts would breach the security. Using a
password such as "B45M9J3" would require a nearly impossible effort
to achieve access.
Please do not forget the passwords. There is no
easy way to access the modem for that
circumstance and a return to the factory for repair
may be required.
Password Security
There are two types of passwords defined. The "operator" password is
required to operate the modem. The "supervisor" password is required for
higher level procedures such as to change options or to view memory. The
operator defines the 2 passwords using the "%PO" and "%PS" commands
described above.
Suppose that the following commands are entered:
AT%PO:USER:USERAT%PS:SUPER:SUPERAT%SC1
V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems 43
Modes and Configurations
These commands set the operator password to be "USER" and the
supervisor password to be "SUPER" (Please do not use these as
passwords). In addition, the "AT" command security option has been
enabled. The modem will now not allow any "AT" commands until the
operator or supervisor password has been entered.
There are two ways to enter a password:
1. The password can be entered on the "AT" command line by enclosing
it in parentheses. For example:
AT(USER)DT555-1111
2. The "AT" command line can be entered without the password and the
modem will prompt for the password before executing the command.
For example:
ATDT555-1111
Enter password:
The user now enters the correct password and the modem will then dial the
number. The modem will not echo the characters as the password is
entered.
The supervisor password can be entered in place of the operator password
to allow complete access to all commands.
The password is entered only once. Once the
password has been entered it will remain in
effect until either the modem is reset or a
connection is dropped.
Passwords Provide These Controls:
• Allows access to AT dialer
• Dialing from memory, viewing stored numbers, changing stored
The pass-through access security feature causes the answering modem to
request a password from a calling modem. If the password entered at the
calling modem matches one of the passwords stored in the answering
modem telephone number directory with an "N" attribute, the calling modem
will connect to the remote modem.
To set up pass-through access security:
1. Store the pass-through access security at the answering modem where
the password field is the password and "N" is the attribute.
2. Enable pass-through access security in the answering modem with the
command AT%SA1.
When pass-through security is enabled, the modem will prompt callers for a
password. If the caller enters the correct password, the modem will allow
access to the DTE. If the password entry is incorrect, the modem will
simply disconnect from the line.
Answer back
The answerback security feature function is like the pass-through access
function except the operator does not type the password. The answering
modem upon connection will request a password from the calling modem by
sending a special character. The calling modem must respond with the
correct answer back code within 2 seconds or it will be disconnected.
To set up answer back security:
Type AT&A:xxx..xxx:xxx..xxx<CR>, where xxx..xxx is the answer
back code of up to 12 characters on both the calling and answering
modems. When storing the answer back code it must be entered twice to
ensure that it is saved correctly.
To disable answer back security: Type AT&A<CR>
V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems 45
Modes and Configurations
Callback
Callback security protects data bases from unauthorized access by
requesting a password and calling back the telephone number associated
with that password. This security feature ensures that connections with
incoming calls are made only with authorized locations.
When the callback security feature is enabled, the answering modem will
request a password from the calling modem. If the password entered
matches one of the passwords stored with a "C" attribute in the answering
modem telephone number directory, the answering modem will disconnect
from the telephone line and place a call back to the calling modem at the
telephone number stored in the same memory location as the password. If
the y command is set in the answering modem, when the call back
telephone connection is made the initial answering modem again requests
the password from the initial calling modem. The answering modem again
compares the password from the calling modem with the stored password,
and if correct then data transmission is allowed.
Setting up call back security involves storing the appropriate telephone
number and password in memory with the "C" attribute and enabling call
back security with the AT%SA1 command. The answering modem will
have a random delay before dialing back the calling modem.
To set up call back security:
1. Store the call back number at the answering modem, where the
password field is the password, and the number is the number of the
dialing modem with the "CD" attributes.
2. Enable call back security in the answering modem with the command
AT%SA1.
Callback security can be selected for any or all of the 100 memory
locations. If more than one location is selected for call back, the modem
searches all "C" designated locations for the password entered by the
caller. If the password matches the password stored in one of those
locations, the modem disconnects and places a call to the number stored in
that location. If the password does not match the password with a "C"

Password Access
The automatic modem password security operation, particularly useful with
synchronous terminals, provides an automatic exchange of the password
between the modems before data transmission is allowed. When a phone
number being dialed has an associated "P" attribute in the calling modem,
the modem will wait for a password prompt to be received from the
answering modem. If the calling modem receives the prompt in a few
seconds it will respond with the "PASSWORD" stored with the dialed
number and the "P" attribute. It will then allow data transmissions to
proceed. If no prompt is received then it will allow transmissions when the
timer expires in a few seconds. The answering modem for this type security
will store the password expected, and when received it will proceed with
data transmissions.
To set up automatic modem password access
security:
1. Store the password in the "PASSWORD" field in both modems. Use
the "P" attribute plus an “A" attribute (or a "D" attribute if dialing is by
AT commands from an asynchronous terminal keyboard) in the calling
modem, and the "N" attribute in the answering modem.
2. Enable the pass-through access security in the answering modem with
the AT%SA1 command.
3. For additional security, the answer back security and/or a second
password transmission may be implemented as in call back security.
For this operation include the "C" attribute instead of the "N" attribute in
the answering modem. See answer back and call back security
operations. For the automatic operation to function with the front panel
push button switch, the number dialed will be the first location in the
phone list with an "A" attribute stored and the "P" attribute must be
stored with the "A". If a second password request is used with call
back security the AT%SB1 command is set in the answer modem, and
it must also be set in the originate modem.
Examples:
1. Pass Through. The modem should prompt for name and password. If
a correct name/password combination is entered then the connection is
allowed to pass through.

Unattended Automatic Dial (Leased Line)
This feature is used to automatically originate and hold a connection during
a specified time of day. If the connection is dropped it will automatically
redial. For example, suppose you want the modem to automatically
originate a call between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and
maintain the call within a specified time. Set the originate modem as
follows:
ATS72=8S73=17 <CR>: Set window from 8 am - 5 p.m. weekdays
AT%Y1: Modem will disconnect from dial line at the end of window
AT%WD1: Originate only inside the window on weekdays

Restricted Auto Answer (Leased Line)
This feature is used when the customer needs the modem to not answer
after a specified time or to disconnect at a specified time. For example,
suppose you want the modem to answer between 8 am and 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday and disconnect at the end of the window. Set the answer
modem as follows:

Automatic Answer Disable Timers
Another means of security is to control the time period when the modem is
allowed to automatically answer an incoming call. There are two
independent time intervals that can be set by the S-Registers, S90 and
S91, to provide this type security. A range of 1 to 255 minutes is allowed
for each register and a default setting of "0" disables the feature.
The setting of S90, Initial Auto Answer Disable Timer, provides a time
interval from the time the DTR signal is forced on, or it is turned on by the
DTE, to the time a ring signal is received. When this time interval expires
the modem is disabled and will not auto answer a call until it is reset. To
reset this timer press the DL/DIS switch twice, turn power off and then on,
or issue the ATZ general reset command.
The setting of S91, Redial Auto Answer Disable Timer, provides an allowed
time interval for a redial to occur. The time interval begins when a call is
auto answered. If the modem is unable to connect because of an
unacceptable signal, the timer allows a redial within the set time interval to
be auto answered. The timer is reset when the modem answers a call but
cannot complete a successful connection, the carrier is lost on an answered
call that is disconnected, or when a "load saved configuration" operation is
accomplished at a call disconnect. When the time expires the modem will
not auto answer a call until it is reset.

Remote Configuration
The AJ Modems feature the down-line loading capability, which allows the
controlling site to configure or reconfigure all modems in a network from a
central location. All parameters in a modem's memory can be set remotely,
including all information stored in the telephone number directory, all option
settings, and the passwords. The AT&S command to the remote modem
will provide the status screens of the remote modem to the local operator.
The procedure to implement down-line loading is:
Set the modem for asynchronous mode (AT&M0).
Place a data call to the remote modem.
After the security password exchange,
ENTER:CONTROL Z -three times
(in the same manner as "+++"). The modem will request
the supervisor password.
ENTER: Supervisor Password. The modem will reply: OK
The operator at the local site now has control of the remote modem and
may proceed to issue AT commands to the remote modem.
ENTER:AT commands - followed by a carriage return in the
usual manner.
When configuration operation is completed then:
ENTER:ATO -to return to data mode.
Note: If the remote DTE is echoing the data, then the down-line load
character defined and stored in S38 of the remote modem must be
different from the down-line load character defined and stored in
S38 of the local modem. If these characters are not set different
then the modems will both become locked in a down-line load
condition.

Error Correction and Data Compression
The AJ Modems support V.42 error correction LAPM protocol plus V.42bis
data compression, and the Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP) Class 4
error correction plus MNP Class 5 data compression. These protocols are
designed to be as transparent to the user as possible. These operations
are discussed in the paragraphs that follow.
LAPM/MNP Error Correction Operation
LAPM/MNP provides error free communications and a boost in throughput.
LAPM/MNP works by dividing data to be transmitted into segments, or
frames. Each frame is transmitted with additional information so that the
receiving modem can determine if an error occurred in the frame. If there is
an error, the receiving modem requests the transmitting modem to retransmit the frame. A frame will be re-translated until it is received
correctly, or the two modems decide that the telephone line is too degraded
to allow acceptable transmission, and then hang up.
LAPM/MNP has its own flow control and break handling methods built into
the protocol. This means that a LAPM/MNP communications link is always
divided into three virtual links: a non-error corrected link between the DTE
and modem, the LAPM/MNP error corrected link between the modems, and
another non-error corrected link between the remote modem and remote
device.
When the AT*Tn command is set for LAPM operation with n=2, or if LAPM
is automatically operative when n=3, an error free connection will be
established with an enhanced throughput. Errors in the data transmission
will be detected and corrected with generally no noticeable effect to the
operator. The LAPM operation begins with a detection phase of a time
period determined by the setting of the S87 register (default time setting is
1.5 seconds).
During the detection phase the originating modem transmits a special
character pattern and the answering modem responds with another special
pattern. If the originating modem detects the response pattern within the
detect time a LAPM connection is established. If the special pattern for
LAPM is not detected the originating modem proceeds to a MNP
connection if MNP is enabled. If the answering modem does not receive
the special LAPM pattern from the originating modem within the detect time
it will wait for a MNP frame for 3 seconds if MNP is enabled. Note: If the
S87 register time is set to "0" the detection phase is bypassed and the
modems proceed directly to a LAPM connection and the fallback to MNP
will be disabled.
When an originating modem receives the appropriate carrier signal and
then determines it is not a LAPM link, it then sends an MNP frame which
V.34bis Series Standalone & Rackmount Modems 53
Modes and Configurations
contains parameters concerning the level of MNP the modem can support.
Upon receipt of this frame, the answering modem sends a similar frame,
and the two modems negotiate to use the highest mutually supported level
of MNP. If the answering modem does not send its initial frame, or sends
non-MNP data, the originating modem will recognize that the answering
modem does not support MNP. In such a case, the modem will connect in
the non-MNP mode or will go on-hook, depending upon the command
issued.
CAUTION:When the answering non-MNP modem passes the initial
MNP frame to a computer system it is likely to be
unintelligible data to the system and provoke an
undesired computer response. For such situations it may
be necessary to not attempt to originate an MNP type call
to the non-MNP modem, or to incorporate some action by
the computer system to ignore the initial modem data
containing the MNP frame.
Once a MNP link is formed, it is maintained until it is explicitly stopped with
a command, the phone line becomes too noisy or degraded, or the modem
goes on-hook.
The LAPM/MNP feature is enabled by the following procedure:
1) Enable a DTE flow control option:
The flow control function instructs a DTE to stop transmitting if the
modem buffers fill to capacity. Modem buffers tend to fill up rapidly
whenever severe line conditions are encountered. Modems usually
initiate the Stop Transmitting command by either dropping the Clear to
Send (CTS) signal, or alternately by transmitting XOFF.
If the DTE responds to the CTS signal, it will stop transmitting when the
CTS signal is not in the active state. For this condition use the command:
AT*LG2
If the DTE responds to XON/XOFF characters, use the command:
AT*LG1*RF1
2) Enable the LAPM/MNP operation enter: AT*Mn
The following chart summarizes the functions provided by setting of the
AT*Mn command:

Note: If the LAPM/MNP feature will be frequently utilized, it is important
that the AT&W command is entered to save the flow control and
LAPM/MNP options set in non-volatile memory. As a result, the
modem will power up with these options set, and it will not be
necessary to reset these options in the event of power loss.
V.42bis and MNP Class 5 Data Compression
With a LAPM or a MNP connection this command offers the user the option
of data compression in addition to error correction to increase throughput.
If enabled, V.42bis compression will be active for a LAPM connection or
MNP Class 5 data compression will be active for a MNP connection. These
operations are entirely transparent to the user.
The AT*En Command for Data Compression
AT*En Where "n" is either "0" or "1"
AT*E0 = Data compression is disabled
AT*E1 = (Default) Modem will operate with V.42bis data compression if a
LAPM link is established, or will operate with MNP Class 5 data
compression if a MNP link is established.
The AT*En command enables or disables data compression when a LAPM
or MNP connection is established. If AT*E1 is set, which is the default
state, then the modem will attempt to operate with compression when it
originates or answers a call. If AT*E0 is set then the modem will not
provide compression. Most users will benefit from keeping the default
setting of AT*E1 and using the data compression facility whenever
available. If the data stream consists mainly of binary information, then the
throughput will be increased by disabling compression with AT*E0.

The line labeled "Bytes" shows the number of compressed bytes sent and
received by the modem since the link was formed. The compression ratio,
a measure of the compressibility of the data, may be obtained by dividing
the number of uncompressed characters sent or received by the number of
compressed bytes sent or received. In the example, the transmit
compression ratio is 21250216 uncompressed characters divided by
15362453 compressed characters or 1.38. This means every data byte

The last line indicates the MNP Class 5 operation plus the number of data
frames that the two modems have agreed they can both buffer internally.
MNP supports three classes of modem connection:
Class 1. A rarely seen, asynchronous, half duplex modem link (not
supported)
Class 2. An asynchronous, full duplex modem link
Class 3. A synchronous, full duplex link
"MNP Class 4" may be a misleading name because it is simply a set of
optimizations which can be applied to any of the classes 1 through 3. The
optimizations are less overhead in data and data acknowledgment frames,
more user data allowed in data frames, and an algorithm that adjusts the
amount of user data in each data frame for maximum throughput. If the
MNP link is using these optimizations then the word "Optimized" will
appear.
Similarly, "MNP Class 5" compression is another enhancement that can be
applied to any of the classes 1 through 3 with or without the Class 4
enhancements. If the MNP link is using compression, then "Class 5" will
appear.

Additional Dial Back-Up Lookback Features
Using S-Registers 77 and 78, two additional features can be invoked for the
dial back up operations. The first is to have the modem make the dial back
up call and maintain the dial connection for five minutes before attempting
the lookback action. The second is to have the modem test the dial back
up link once every twenty-four hours. These features are controlled by the
S77 and S78 registers as follows:
S77 = 0 Disables these features
S77 = 25 Enables the five minute hold on the dial connection
before attempting a lookback.
