Datatronics ITU-T V.42bis Getting Started Manual

_______ GETTING STARTED MANUAL _________
If you will use this modem with a personal computer and a popular off-the-shelf communications software, for a simple modem application such as going on-line with bulletin boards, up-loading or downloading files, and sending fax messages, you may now go to the Getting Started Manual to exercise hardware connection for your modem. Then, you should refer to your software’s manual to get on the road. This manual will serve as your guide for modem commands.
If you would like to know the modem operations and commands in more depth, the Electronic Manual of Fax-modem diskette is included to serve this purpose.
The LED Indicators on the Front Panel _______________________
The indicators on the modem’s front panel denote the current modem operation characteristics and status. They are:
MR M
odem Ready. Lights up when the modem is turned on.
TR T
erminal Ready. Flashes when DTR signal is detected.
CD C
arrier Detected. Lights up when a carrier from the remote
modem is detected.
SD S
end Data. Flashes when the modem is sending data to the
remote modem or when receiving data from the local computer.
RD R
eceive Data. Flashes when the modem is receiving data from
the remote modem or when sending data to the local computer.
AA A
uto-Answer. Lights up when the modem is set for auto-answer.
Flashes when an incoming ring is detected.
OH O
ff-Hook. Lights up when the modem is using the telephone line.
Off when the modem hangs-up (on-hook).
HS H
igh Speed. Lights up when modem speed exceeds 4800 bps.
When you turn on your modem, at least the MR indicator shall light up. There may be some other indictors lights depended on the settlement of the modem. Otherwise, you should check the power connected to your modem.

The Serial Port and the RS-232 Cable_________________________
To use this modem, it will require an RS-232 serial port on your computer. If your do not have it, you need to have one.
It is better to select a serial port card that uses a high-speed 16550 UART chip. A card with an ordinary UART chip handles transmissions at a maximum speed around 38,400bps. In case the data compression of
Page:2
your modem is active, it may perform at an exceeding speed and an ordinary serial port card may sometimes cause data loss.
You will also require an RS-232 cable to connect your modem with computer. You will be Asked to buy a modem cable if you are a PC user. The modem cable shall, at one end, have a DB25M (male) connector that fits the female connector on the modem, and at the other end a serial port connector that matches your computer.
Hardware Connection______________________________________
1) Make sure that both the modem and computer are turned off.
2) Use an RS-232 cable to connect the modem to a serial port on your computer. Secure the connector screw on it.
) Verify the serial port number in which your modem is connected.
You must Write down the port number as you will need to specify this number during software installation. As a general rule on PC applications, the port COM1 is connected to a mouse, while COM2 is for a modem.
3) Use an RJ-11 cable to connect the LINE jack to the wall outlet of the telephone line.
4) Connect a telephone set to the PHONE jack. You may leave this jack disconnected if desired.
5) Make sure that the power adaptor that comes with your modem is of a correct voltage that complies with your power source. Use the adaptor to connect the power source to the 12VAC jack on the modem.

Test the Power Connection__________________________________
You can turn on your modem by pushing the power switch button and watch the front panel indicators. Depending on the setting of your modem, the MR and other indicators should light up. If none is lit, check the power connection for the modem.
Test the Telephone Line Connection __________________________
Once a telephone set is connected, you may test the line quality and connections by lifting the telephone handset, listening for a clear dial tone, and making several telephone calls. The calls shoud go through well and the sound loud and clear. Otherwise, the line may be poor or have a faulty connection.
Data Communications Software Packages _____________________
Your modem follows the industrial standard in the modem command set. As a result, most of the popular communications software packages off-the-shelf will work with it. You should select a software package according to your application requirement.
Most popular communications software are provided with the configuration named Initial-String or Dialing-Prefix. It is wise to check, one by one, the commands in this string as they will be sent to determine the modem characteristics each time prior to dialing.
Fax Communications Software Packages ______________________
Similar to data communication applications, you interact with the modem through the fax communications software.
Your modem only supports Class 1 command set.
Error-Correction and Data Compression______________________
Your modem supports the industrial standards of MNP 5 and ITU-T (formerly called CCITT) V.42bis for error-correction and data compression (ECDC). Both standards are capable of error-correction as well. The modem will re-transmit a faulty data block when an error is detected while receiving.
Page:4
The ITU-T V.42bis can perform data compression at a rate up to four times, depending on the format of data. That is, the throughput can be reach as high as 57,600 bits per second when you are on-line at 14,400 bps.
The MNP 5 was popular before V.42bis was born. It can reach a compression rate of two times, that is around half of what V.42bis can do.
To enjoy the effectiveness of ECDC, both modems on-line should exercise the same ECDC standard. You should always set your modem to V.42bis auto-reliable mode by command \N3, which will automatically negotiate with the remote modem for an available ECDC standard.
Controlling the Modem Speaker _____________________________
In the factory, your modem speaker is preset in to medium volume and turned on when the carrier from the remote modem is detected. You may issue the commands L and M, with an appropriate parameter following it, to control the volume, or turn on the speaker.
