3. MODEM BASICS

This chapter covers the basic commands and techniques involved in modem
operation. In many cases, this is the only information you will need in order to get
the FPC-0104TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet 56K Modem PC Card up and running
with communication software, and to start making connections with your PC Card.

3.1 Understanding AT Commands

The FPC-0104TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet 56K Modem PC Card communicates
asynchronously with computers using AT commands. AT commands are used to
configure and control the PC Card. Commands are usually sent to the modem in way
of communication software, but can also be entered manually with the computer
keyboard.

Command statements must be written in a specific form in order for the
FPC-0104TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet 56K Modem PC Card to recognize them. A
command statement always begins with the letters AT or at. It is then followed by
one or more commands and the <Enter> key.

AT commands can only be issued when the FPC-0104TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
56K Modem PC Card is in ”Command mode” or ”off-line.” Once the PC Card has
established a connection with another modem, it is said to be ”on-line” or in ”Data
mode.” In this mode, the characters sent to the Ethenet + 56K Fax/Modem PC Card
by your computer are transmitted to the remote modem rather than being interpreted
by the PC Card as commands.
Using the Windows 95/98 Hyper Terminal Program to issue an AT command
statement, you first need to run a communication program such as the Microsoft
Windows ”Hyper Terminal” program. This program provides a simple method to
manually enter AT commands so you can do things such as: store phone numbers
you commonly connect to.

Once the FPC-0104TX 10/100Mbps Fast E thernet 56K Modem PC Card is connected
to your computer serial port and telephone line, open the Windows 95/98
”Accessories” program group, and open the Hyper Terminal Program. The program
will prompt you for a name and icon to use for your new connection. Type the name
Test Connection then press <Enter>.

Next, you will be prompted for country information, area code, phone number, and
the device used to make the connection. For this test purpose, do not enter a phone
number; simply choose the COM port your Integrated is connected to from the
”Connect Using” list. Click ”OK” when finished.

-13-

The next window sets the COM port settings. The settings used for the Comet
should be as follows:

Bits per second: 115200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: Hardware

Click ”OK” when finished. After you have done this, save your new connection by
selecting ”Save” from the ”File” menu then click ”OK.” A new connection icon will
be added to your Hyper Terminal folder.
You are now ready to start entering AT commands.
In the terminal window, type:
AT<Enter>
LANmodem responds
OK
This confirms that the modem and your computer are communicating correctly.

To test the telephone line connection, issue the manual answer command. Type:
ATA<Enter>
The LANmodem will pick up the phone line, and try to communicate. Normally, this
command is only used to answer an incoming call made from another modem. Thus
the high pitched noise you will hear from the speaker. To abort the operation, press
any key, or select ”Disconnect” from the menu.

3.2 Dialing and Answering Techniques

Depending on what communications software you use to make modem
connections, you may not have much control of how the modem dials the
telephone number. This section shows some useful examples of the AT commands
used for dialing and answering operations. The command characters specific to
each function are shown in bold type.

Dialing using the ATD Command

Touch Tone Dialing: ATDT 555 1212
Pulse Dialing: ATDP 555 1212
Tone and Pulse Dialing: ATDP 555 1212 WT 24
Pause During Dialing: ATDT 9,,555 1212

-14-

Auto-Answer and Hook Controls
Enabling Auto-Answer: ATS0=n

Note: In this example, n is a number from 1 to 255 that corresponds to the number of

rings after which your modem answers an incoming call.

Disabling Auto-Answer: ATS0=0
Manually Answering a Call: ATA
Take modem off-hook: ATH1
Hang up modem (on-hook): ATH0
Manually Disconnecting a Call: +++ATH

Examples of partial AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

set path= c:\lanman.dos\netprog;%path%
net start workstation
load netbeui

The 10/100 Fast Ethernet function configuration information for the DOS NDIS
driver is contained in the PROTOCOL.INI file. To make allowances for passing the
requested modem COM port (1,2,3,4) to the driver, there has been another field
added. The section of the PROTOCOL.INI file that contains configuration
information for this card must begin with [LMNDIS_NIF]. The valid entries in the
file are listed below:

[LMNDIS_NIF]

DRIVERNAME - LMNDIS$

This line must always be presend

IOADDRESS - value

where value is one of the following address:

0x300, 0x320, 0x340, 0x360.

The leading 0x for the hex notation is required.

4.3. Notes for Windows For Workgroups

After installation of the multi -function PCMCIA card drivers, the system will
automatically update both CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT for you so that the
driver will be loaded upon system start up. When modifying the two files, the
system will make copies named CONFIG.ABO and AUTOEXEC.ABO in the
system's directory. If the driver of PC Card is not successfully loaded, replace the
two *.ABO file for related file and try to start the system again.

or ask your dealer for technical assistance.

Q:The modem does not respond to AT commands.

C:The COMx: port that the modem is set to may be used by another card in the

computer already.

A:Change the COMx: port of PCMCIA 10_100 Fast Ethernet + 56K

Fax_Modem(56K Fax_modem)PC Card to a different unused port. It might be best
to set it to COM3: or COM4:. Even if you are not using a serial port which is set to
the same COMx: port as the modem, it can still interfere with the modem. Be sure
to update your software COMx: port setting as well.

C:The Interrupt that the modem is using may be the same Interrupt that another

card is using.

A:Change the IRQ settings to a different, unused, IRQ. Even if you are not using a

serial port which is set to the same IRQ as the modem, it can still interfere with the
modem.

Q:The modem does not execute the command line.

C:Make sure you are typing 'AT' at the beginning of command line.
C:Make sure the modem is not in Data Mode. type +++ if necessary.
C:Make sure your software is set to the same COMx: port as the modem is.

Q:The modem does not give a response after an AT command was executed.

C:The echo and/or responses may be turned off by the ATE0Q1 commands. Use

AT&V to check that.
A:Use ATE1Q0 then Enter to change them back.
C:Make sure the modem is in Command Mode not in Data Mode when you type the

AT command.

Q:The modem gives an 'ERROR' response after an AT command was executed.

Q:The modem can connect to some modems, but not others.

C:The remote modem may not support data compression or error correction, which

might cause it to take too long to negotiate a link.

A:You might try changing the way the modem negotiates by using the AT&Qn,

ATNn, and ATS37=n commands. It might be best to start with AT&Q0N1.

Q:When dialing another modem, you receive a 'CONNECT' response, but nothing

else.

C:The remote modem may be waiting for you to type a command. Or try to press

Enter for logging on to the remote site.

C:There may be a problem with the remote modem if you do not hear the high

pitched tone from the remote modem.

Q:Occasionally, the modem gives a burst of errors.

C:The telephone line may be noisy or bad.
A:Hang up the call and try to connect again for getting a better telephone line.
C:If there are other telephones on the same line that your modem is using, someone

may have picked up a telephone on that extension.
C:Your telephone line may have the call waiting feature.
A:Try adding '*70,' to your ATDT dialing command line. If it doesn’t help, ask your

telephone company how to disable it temporarily.

Q:The modem gets errors in transmitted data randomly.

A:Try to use V.42 or MNP1-4 if possible.
A:Connect the modems at a slower baud rate.

-21-

Q:After you download a file, it was not stored on your disk drive.

C:If both modems are using MNP or V.42 protocol, then the flow control may not be

enabled.
A:Configure your software to use RTS/CTS flow control. That will cause your

computer to pause long enough for the file to be stored to disk.

Q:The text on the screen is not legible.

C:Your software settings may not match the settings on the remote site.
A:Make sure your data bits, stop bits, and parity settings match the settings that

the other computer is using. The two most common settings are: 8 data bits, None

parity, and 1 stop bit (8,N,1) or 7 data bits, Even parity, and 1 stop bit (7,E,1).
C:If the telephone line is very noisy, you may see corrupted data on your screen.
C:Due to poor telephone line conditions, the modem may have fallen back to a

slower communication speed. You may need to change the baud rate setting in

your software to match this slower speed. To return the modem to the higher

speed, disconnect the link and re-establish again.

Q:When using V.42bis or MNP5, some features are disabled.

C:You may be using a non-streaming protocol, like Xmodem or Ymodem to transfer

files. Those are fine unless you are using V.42bis or MNP5
A:When using V.42bis or MNP5, you should use a streaming transfer protocol like

Ymodem -G or Zmodem.
A:Configure your software to use har dware flow control (RTS/CTS ON).

Q:When the modem is connecting to another modem, it reports a higher connect

baud rate that it is really using.

C:The modem defaults to report the modem -to-computer baud rate when it responds

with CONNECT.
A:Go to command mode with your communication program (like Telix) and type

ATW2, then press Enter. This tells the modem to report the modem -to-modem

baud rate instead.

Q:When I run CARDEN, the error message show ? C-Card is not enabled

successfully”

C:No memory space to m ap the attribute memory of PCMCIA card.
A:If memory management software e.g. EMM386 has been installed, you have to

reserve some areas in upper memory (C000:0 -- EFFF:F) for attribute memory of

PCMCIA card during enabling the card.

Example:Device=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM X=D000-D3FF.
Reserve D000 - D3FF for attribute memory.

C:No free I/O space or interrupt request can be assigned to the PCMCIA card.
A: The FPC-0104TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet 56K Modem PC Card needs 32

contiguous I/O ports and one interrupt request for LAN. It also need 8

contiguous I/O ports and another interrupt request for 56K Fax/Modem. The

LAN ports have to be located at one of the following I/O space. 0x300, 0x320,

0x340, 0x360. The 56K Fax/Modem ports have to be located at one of the 0x 2F8,

0x3E8, 0x3E8. Besides for the compatibility consideration with some of the 56K

Fax/Modem applications. The Modem interrupt (MIR) is recommended to be

assigned at value less than 7 (IRQ3 to 6). Make sure that the resources are

available for the LAN/Modem card.

Q:How can I know the LAN/Modem card has been enabled or not ?

A:If the Card Service is installed, you can check by hearing the beep when card

insertion.
A:Run CARDEN /CHK to check, if the card has been enabled. The resources

allocated for the card are shown as below at the last line of display message.

“ IOP=0Xnnn IRQ=nn COM=nn MIR=nn”
