The MultiModemDSVD modem incorporates both the ITU-T V.90 and the K56flex protocols, both of which enable Internet connections at data rates up to 53K bps* over standard telephone lines. Using these protocols, Internet service providers (ISPs) are able to send data downstream to your computer at high speeds because data on the telephone network normally is converted from digital to analog only once before it reaches your modem. Upstream transmissions, and transmissions between client modems, are limited to data rates of 33.6K bps, as are downstream transmis­sions that are converted more than once on the telephone network.
The MultiModemDSVD offers interactive automatic dialing and command mode configuration. You can store up to four command line/telephone numbers of up to 40 characters each in the modem’s nonvolatile memory. The modem pulse or tone dials, and recognizes dial tones and busy signals for reliable call-progress detection. The modem can also detect AT&T calling card tones. It is FCC-Registered for con­nection to telephone networks without notification to the telephone company.
Digital simultaneous voice and data (DSVD) operation allows data transfer and voice conversation to occur simultaneously during a data connection. On a DSVD call, a headset or microphone and speaker can be used as the voice interface. Both local and remote modems must have compatible DSVD technology to support the DSVD function. The MultiModemDSVD is compatible with the industry-standard ITU-T V.70 DSVD specification.

RS232 Connection
Plug one end of the serial cable into the RS232 connector on the modem, and the oth­er end into a serial port connector on your computer, such as COM1 or COM2.
Line Connection
Plug one end of the phone cable into the modem’s LINE jack, and the other end into a phone line wall jack.
Note: The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE jack. Do not plug the phone into the LINE jack or the line cable into the PHONE jack.
14Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.
Page 15
MultiModemDSVD User Guide 2 Installation
Note: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada, and other government agencies may impose certain restrictions on equipment connected to public telephone systems. For more information, see Appendix A.
Phone Connection
For voice-only calls, you can optionally plug a telephone into the modem’s PHONE jack.
Microphone Connection (MT5600DSDV only)
Plug the microphone plug of the supplied headset into the MIC jack on the side of the modem. Optionally, plug an unamplified microphone into the MIC jack. The mi­crophone should have a 1/8-inch mini plug.
Speaker Connection (MT5600DSDV only)
Plug the speaker plug of the supplied headset into the SPKR jack on the side of the modem. Optionally, use a 1/8-inch-plug male-to-male stereo patch cord to connect the SPKR jack on the side of the modem to the LINE IN jack on your sound card.
If you do not have a sound card, you can plug an amplified speaker directly into the SPKR jack.
Power Connection
Plug the power supply module into an AC power outlet or power strip. Plug the power supply’s cable into the PWR jack on the modem.
Note: Use only the power supply supplied with the modem. Use of any other power supply will void the warranty and could damage the modem.
Power-On Test
Test the modem by turning it on (a power switch is located on the right side). When you apply power, the modem performs a diagnostic self-test, indicated by several indicators flashing for a second or two, after which the 56 indicator should light. If this does not happen, check that the power switch is on, the power supply is solidly connected, and the AC outlet is live. If these measures do not work, see Chapter 6, “Solving Problems.”
Surge Protectors and Lightning
Because of power surges and other transient voltages on power and telephone lines, we recommend that you plug the modem into a surge protector rather than directly into a wall outlet, preferably a surge protector that provides protection against elec­trical spikes on the telephone line as well as on the power line. Please note, however, that not even a surge protector can guard against damage from a nearby lightning strike.

l tl t
he Modhe Mod
Installing the Modem Driver
1. Make sure your modem is connected properly, and then turn on your computer.
Windows should detect your new modem and open the Install New Modem wizard.
Note: If Windows cannot find a modem, your modem may not have power, it may be plugged into the wrong connector on your computer, or the serial cable may be faulty. See “None of the LEDs Light When the Modem Is Turned On” and “The Modem Does Not Respond to Commands” in Chapter 5, “Solving Problems.”
2. Insert the MultiModemDSVD system CD into your CD-ROM drive, and then click OK.
3. Windows installs and configures the modem.
4. Click Finish to exit.
For Windows NT, the Install New Modem wizard presents one additional prompt
before Step 2. At this point, select Don’t detect my modem; I will select it from a list, and then click Next. A dialog box with a list of manufacturers and a list of modem models appears. Select your modem. Continue with Step 2 above.

Removing Your Old Modem Driver
When your new modem replaces another modem, the old modem driver remains in Windows after you install the new modem, and the old modem is still selected in HyperTerminal and other Windows applications. Though you can change the appli­cation connection descriptions one at a time, it is easier to force Windows applications to use the new modem by removing the old modem from Windows.
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Modems icon to open the Modems Properties dialog box.
3. In the list box, select the old modem.
4. Click Remove, and then click Close.
5. The next time you dial a HyperTerminal connection, it will select your new mo­dem and ask you to confirm the selection.

Multi-Tech includes PhoneTools communications software with your modem. However, the modem will work with most data communications software. To install PhoneTools, insert the MultiModemDSVD system CD into your CD-ROM drive; click the PhoneTools icon. You will be asked to choose your language. The software will then automatically load onto your PC.
Communication programs designed for Windows 98/Me and Windows NT/2000 normally do not need to be manually configured, since they use the Plug and Play configuration supplied by the Windows modem driver. Though each communication program is different, the following procedure should work with most of them.

Like any modem, your MultiModemDSVD operates only under the control of a communication program, such as the one included with the modem. It also operates under other general-purpose data communication programs, such as Windows Terminal and HyperTerminal. For information on how to use the modem with the communication program of your choice, please refer to the program’s documentation.
Unlike other modems, with the MultiModemDSVD you can also simultaneously send voice and data over a single phone line or, using third-party white-board software, work on a document with someone at another location.

The MultiModemDSVD has ten LED indicators on the front panel that indicate status, configuration, and activity:
Transmit Data. The TD LED flashes when the modem is transmitting data to
TD
another modem. The state of the LED matches the TD circuit on pin 2 of the RS-232C/V.24 interface.
Receive Data. The RD LED flashes when the modem is receiving data from
RD
another modem. The state of the LED matches that of the RD circuit on pin 3 of the RS-232C/V.24 interface.
Carrier Detect. The CD LED lights when the modem detects a valid carrier
CD
signal from another modem. It is on when the modem is communicating with the other modem and off when the link is broken.
56K Mode (56,000–28,000 bps). The 56 LED lights whenever the modem
56
nects to an ISP server in K56flex or V.90 mode. The actual connection speed
con depends on server capabilities and line conditions.
V.34 Mode (33,600–16,800 bps). The 33 LED lights whenever the modem
33
nects in V.34 mode.
con V.32bis Mode (14,400 bps–). The 14 LED lights whenever the modem connects

Off-Hook. The OH LED lights when the modem is off-hook, which occurs
OH
when the modem is dialing, online, or answering a call. The LED flashes when the modem pulse-dials.
Terminal Ready. The TR LED lights when a datacomm program initializes the
TR
modem. It means the modem is ready for an outgoing or incoming call. It goes off when the datacomm program disconnects the COM port. When it goes off, a connected modem will disconnect. The state of the TR LED matches that of the DTR circuit on pin 20 of the RS-232C/V.24 interface.
Error Correction (V.42). The EC LED lights continuously when the modem is in
EC
V.42 error correction mode, and blinks when compression is activated. Fax. The FX LED lights when the modem is in fax mode.
FX
Note: When you turn on the modem, the speed lights flash briefly as the modem does a self-test, then the LED for the default modem baud rate lights. The default rate for the modem is 56K bps. After a call, the LEDs for the connection’s baud rate remain lit until another call is made or the modem is reset. If you connect at a rate under 14,400 bps, all speed LEDs remain off after the connection is broken, even though the modem is still turned on.

Your Multi-Tech modem is your gateway to the Internet and the World Wide Web. To access the Internet and Web via your modem, you must establish a dial-up account with an Internet service provider (ISP). To locate an ISP near you, look in a local directory or computer publication. Your ISP should provide you with the following information:
• User name (also called user ID)
• Password
• Access number (the number you call to connect to the server)
• Host name and/or domain name
• Domain Name Server (DNS) server address
If, besides the Web, you use the Internet for e-mail and newsgroups, your ISP should also provide you with the following information:
• E-mail or POP mail address
• POP server address
• Mail or SMTP address
• News or NNT server address

Operation in DSVD mode allows data transfer and voice conversation to occur si­multaneously during a data connection. On a DSVD call, a headset or microphone and speaker can be used as the voice interface. Both local and remote modems must have compatible DSVD technology to support the DSVD function. DSVD can be used by running a communications application that supports DSVD. Follow the ap­plication instructions. DSVD can also be controlled manually issuing AT commands to the modem as described in the following sections.
1. In the terminal window of your communications application, type AT and press

AT commands are used to control the operation of your modem. They are so called because each command must be preceded by the characters AT to get the ATtention of the modem.
AT commands can be issued only when the modem is in command mode or online command mode. The modem is in command mode whenever it is not connected to another modem. The modem is in data mode whenever it is connected to another mo­dem and ready to exchange data. Online command mode is a temporary state in which you can issue commands to the modem while connected to another modem. To put the modem into online command mode from data mode, you must issue an escape
sequence (+++) followed immediately by the AT characters and the command, e.g., +++ATH to hang up the modem. To return to data mode from online command
mode, you must issue the command ATO. To send AT commands to the modem you must use a communications program,
such as the HyperTerminal applet in Windows 95 and NT 4.0, or the Trio communi­cations program included with your modem. You can issue commands to the mo­dem either directly, by typing them in the terminal window of the communications program, or indirectly, by configuring the operating system or communications pro­gram to send the commands automatically. Fortunately, communications programs make daily operation of modems effortless by hiding the commands from the user. Most users, therefore, need to use AT commands only when reconfiguring the mo­dem, e.g., to turn autoanswer on or off.
The format for entering an AT command is ATXn, where X is the command and n is the value for the command, sometimes called the command parameter. The value is always a number. If the value is zero, you can omit it from the command; thus, AT&W is equivalent to AT&W0. Most commands have a default value, which is the value that is set at the factory. The default values are shown in the “AT Command Summary,” which begins on the next page.
You must press ENTER to send the command to the modem. Any time the modem receives a command, it sends a response known as a result code. The most common result codes are OK, ERROR, and the CONNECT messages that the modem sends to the computer when it is connecting to another modem. For a table of valid result codes, see “Result Codes” at the end of this chapter.
You can issue several commands in one line, in what is called a command string. The command string begins with AT and ends when you press ENTER. Spaces to sepa­rate the commands are optional; they are ignored by the command interpreter. The most familiar command string is the initialization string, which is used to configure the modem when it is turned on or reset, or when your communications software calls another modem.

A test can be run only when the modem is in asynchronous
operation in non-error-correction mode (normal or direct mode).
For tests 3, 6, and 7, a connection between the two modems
must first be established. To terminate a test in progress, the
escape sequence (+++) must be entered first, except for param-
eters 7 and 8. If S18 is non-zero, a test terminates automatically
after the time specified by S18 and displays the OK message. &T0 Abort. Stop any test in progress. &T1 Start local analog loopback, V.54 Loop 3. If a connection exists
when this command is issued, the modem hangs up. The CON-
NECT XXXX message is displayed upon the start of the test.

The MultiModemDSVD uses DSVD technology to achieve simultaneous voice and data operation over a telephone line. Establishing a DSVD connection is like estab­lishing a regular data modem connection. Initiate the call to another DSVD modem using normal dialing (ATD) and answering (ATA) procedures. The modem can switch from a regular phone conversation into DSVD mode and back to phone con­versation. A headset or microphone/speaker can be used for voice communication during DSVD mode.

Certain modem values, or parameters, are stored in memory locations called S­registers. Use the S command to read or to alter the contents of S-registers (see previous section).
Register Unit Range Default Description S0 1 ring 0, 1–255 1 Sets the number of rings before the mo-
dem answers. ATS0=0 disables autoan­swer completely.
S1 1 ring 0–255 0 Counts the rings that have occurred. S2 decimal 0–127 43 (+) Sets ASCII code for the escape sequence
128–255 character. Values greater than 127 disable
escape.
S3 decimal 0–127 13 (^M) Sets the ASCII code for the carriage return
character.
S4 decimal 0–127 10 (^J) Sets the ASCII code for the line feed char-
acter.
S5 decimal 0–32 8 (^H) Sets the ASCII code for the backspace
33–127 character. Values greater than 32 disable
backspace.
S6 seconds 2–255 2 Sets the time the modem waits after it goes
off-hook before it begins to dial the tele­phone number.
S7 seconds 1–255 50 Sets the time the modem waits for a carrier
signal before aborting a call. Also sets the wait for silence time for the @ dial modifi­er, and the time the modem waits for the dial tone after encountering W in the dial string.
S8 seconds 0–255 2 Sets the length of a pause caused by a
comma character in a dialing command.
S9 100 ms 1–255 6 Sets the time, in tenths of a second, that
the carrier must be present before the mo­dem considers it valid.
S10 100 ms 1–255 14 Sets how long a carrier signal must be lost
before the modem disconnects.
S11 1 ms 50–255 95 Sets spacing and duration of dialing tones. S12 20 ms 0–255 50 Defines the maximum period, in fiftieths
of second, allowed between receipt of the last character of the three escape character sequence from the computer and the send­ing of the OK result code to the computer. (Escape code guard time).

MultiModemDSVD User Guide 4 A T Commands, S-Registers, and Result Codes
Register Unit Range Default Description S18 seconds 0–255 0 Sets the length of time that the modem con-
ducts an &T test before it returns to the command mode. If the value is zero, the test must be terminated from command mode by issuing an &T0 or H command. When S18 is non-zero, the modem returns the OK message upon test termination.
S24 seconds 0–255 0 Sets the length of time that the modem op-
erates in normal mode with no detected telephone or serial port activity before en­tering low-power sleep mode. The timer is reset upon any serial port or telephone line activity.
S25 10 ms 0–255 5 Sets the length of time that the modem ig-
nores DTR while taking the action specified by &D.
S29 10 ms 0–255 70 Sets the length of time that the modem goes
on-hook when it encounters a flash dial modifier (!) in the dial string.
S30 10 ms 0, 1–255 0 Sets the length of time that the modem
waits before disconnecting when no data is sent or received. A value of zero disables the timer.
S32 decimal 0–255 17 Sets the ASCII code for the XON character. S33 decimal 0–255 19 Sets the ASCII code for the XOFF character. S35 decimal 0–1 0 0 disables, 1 enables the V.25 data calling
tone, which allows remote data/fax/voice discrimination.
S36 decimal 0–7 7 LAPM Failure Control. Specifies the fall-
back action to take in the event of an LAPM negotiation failure. These fallback options are initiated immediately upon connection if S48 = 128. If an invalid number is entered, S36 acts as if the default value has been en­tered. (See S48.)

S37 decimal 0 0 Sets the maximum V.34 speed at which the
modem attempts to connect. The default value is an automode connection. If N0 is active, connection is attempted at the most recently sensed serial port speed (+MS= command settings are updated to the ap­propriate values). If N1 is active, connec­tion is attempted at the highest possible speed. (+MS= settings are updated to 11,1,300,3360 to reflect V.34, automode, 300 bps minimum speed, and 33600 bps maximum speed). Supported only for compatibility with existing software; use the +MS= command instead.
S38 seconds 0–254, 255 20 Sets the delay between the modem’s receipt
of the H command to disconnect (or high­to-low transition of DTR if the modem is programmed to follow the signal), and the disconnect operation. Applies only to error­correction connections. This register can be used to ensure that data in the modem buff­er is sent before the modem disconnects. If S38 is set to a value between 0 and 254, the modem waits for the remote modem to ac­knowledge all data in the modem buffer before disconnecting. If S38 is set to 255, the modem does not time out, and continues to attempt to deliver data in the buffer until the connection is lost or the data is delivered.

Your modem was thoroughly tested at the factory before it was shipped. If you are unable to make a successful connection, or if you experience data loss or garbled characters during your connection, it is possible that the modem is defective. How­ever, it is more likely that the source of your problem lies elsewhere. The following symptoms are typical of problems you might encounter:
• None of the LEDs light when the modem is on.
• The modem does not respond to commands.
• The modem dials but is unable to make a connection.
• The modem disconnects while online.
• The modem cannot connect when answering.
• File transfer is slower than it should be.
• Data is being lost.
• There are garbage characters on the monitor.
• The modem doesn’t work with Caller ID.
• Fax and data software can’t run at the same time.
If you experience problems, please check the following possibilities before calling Technical Support (see Appendix D).

When you turn on the modem, the LED indicators on the front panel should flash briefly as the modem runs a self-test. If the LEDs remain off, the modem is probably not receiving power.
✔✔
Make sure the modem’s power switch is on, especially if you normally turn on
✔✔
the modem by turning on a power strip.
✔✔
If the power supply is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is
✔✔
plugged in and its power switch is on.
✔✔
Make sure the power supply module is firmly connected to the modem and to
✔✔
the wall outlet or power strip.
✔✔
If the power strip is on and the modem switch is on, try moving the modem
✔✔
power supply to another outlet on the power strip.
✔✔
Test that the outlet is live by plugging a lamp into it.
✔✔ ✔✔
The modem or power supply may be defective. If you have another Multi-Tech
✔✔
modem, try swapping modems. If the problem goes away, the first modem or power supply may be defective. Call Tech Support for assistance.
CAUTION: Do not under any circumstances replace the power supply module with one designed for another product, as it can damage the modem and void your warranty.

✔✔
Make sure you are issuing the modem commands from the data communications
✔✔
software, either manually in terminal mode or automatically by configuring the software. (You cannot send commands to the modem from the DOS prompt.)
✔✔
Make sure you are in terminal mode in your data communications program, then

✔✔
Try resetting your modem by turning it off and on. If you are using DOS or Win-

dows 3.1 communications software, make sure the initialization string includes &F as the first command, to cancel any “leftover’ command that could affect the modem’s operation.
✔✔
If you don’t get an OK, the problem may still be in the communications software.
✔✔
Make sure you have done whatever is necessary in your software to make a port connection. Not all communications programs connect to the COM port automat­ically. Some connect when the software loads and remain connected until the program terminates. Others can disconnect without exiting the program. The modem’s TR indicator lights to show that the software has taken control of the modem through the COM port.

There can be several reasons the modem fails to make a connection. Possibilities include:
• lack of a physical connection to the telephone line.
• a wrong dial tone.
• a busy signal.
• a wrong number.
• no modem at the other end.
• a faulty modem, computer, or software at the other end.
• incompatibility between modems.
You can narrow the list of possibilities by using extended result codes. Extended re­sult codes are enabled by default. If they have been disabled, include V1X4 in the modem’s initialization string, or in terminal mode enter ATV1X4 and press ENTER. When you dial again, the modem will report the call’s progress.
✔✔
If the modem reports NO DIALTONE, check that the modem’s telephone line
✔✔
cable is connected to both the modem’s LINE jack (not the PHONE jack) and the telephone wall jack. If the cable looks secure, try replacing it. If that doesn’t work, the problem might be in your building’s telephone installation. To test the building installation, plug a telephone into your modem’s telephone wall jack and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, your modem might be installed behind a company phone system (PBX) with an internal dial tone that sounds different from the normal dial tone. In that case, the modem might not recognize the dial tone and might treat it as an error. Check your PBX manual to see if you can change the internal dial tone; if you can’t, change your modem’s initialization string to replace X4 with X3, which will cause the modem to ignore dial tones (note, however, that X3 is not allowed in some countries, such as France and Spain).

If the modem reports BUSY, the other number might be busy, in which case you
✔✔
should try again later, or it might indicate that you have failed to add a 9, prefix to the phone number if you must dial 9 for an outside line.
If you must dial 9 to get an outside line, the easiest way to dial it automatically is to include it in the modem’s dial prefix, e.g., ATDT9,. Note the comma, which inserts a pause before the number is dialed. By inserting 9, into the dial prefix, you do not have to include it in each directory entry.
To change the dial prefix in Windows HyperTerminal, select Connect from the Call menu, click Dialing Properties, and type 9 in the local and long distance boxes in How I dial from this location.
✔✔
If the modem reports NO ANSWER, the other system has failed to go off-hook, or
✔✔
you might have dialed a wrong number. Check the number.
✔✔
If the modem reports NO CARRIER, the phone was answered at the other end,
✔✔
but no connection was made. You might have dialed a wrong number, and a per­son answered instead of a computer, or you might have dialed the correct number but the other computer or software was turned off or faulty. Check the number and try again, or try calling another system to make sure your modem is working. Also, try calling the number on your telephone. If you hear harsh sounds, then another modem is answering the call, and the modems might be having problems negotiating because of modem incompatibilities or line noise. Try connecting at a lower speed.

If you have Call Waiting on the same phone line as your modem, it can interrupt
✔✔
your connection when someone tries to call you. If you have Call Waiting, dis­able it before each call. In most telephone areas in North America, you can disable Call Waiting by preceding the telephone number with *70 (check with your local telephone company).
You can automatically disable Call Waiting by including the disabling code in the modem’s dial prefix (e.g., ATDT*70,—note the comma, which inserts a pause before the number is dialed). To change the dial prefix in Windows Terminal, se­lect Settings | Modem Commands. To change it in Windows HyperTerminal, select Connect from the Call menu, click Dialing Properties, check This location has Call Waiting, and select the correct code for your phone service.
✔✔
If you have extension phones on the same line as your modem, you or someone
✔✔
else can interrupt the connection by picking up another phone. If this is a fre­quent problem, disconnect the extension phones before using the modem, or install another phone line especially for the modem.
✔✔
Check for loose connections between the modem and the computer, the tele-
✔✔
phone jack, and AC power.
✔✔
You might have had a poor connection because of line conditions or the problem
✔✔
might have originated on the other end of the line. Try again.
✔✔
If you were online with a BBS or an online service like CompuServe, it might
✔✔
have hung up on you because of lack of activity on your part or because you ex­ceeded your time limit for the day. Try again.

You might have an older UART. For best throughput, install a 16550AFN UART
✔✔
or a Multi-Tech ISI serial port card. See the “Quick Start” chapter for information on how to identify your UART.
✔✔
If you are running under Windows 3.1 and have a 16550AFN UART, you must
✔✔
replace the Windows serial driver, COMM.DRV, to take full advantage of the UART’s speed.
✔✔
If you are using a slow transfer protocol, such as Xmodem, try Zmodem or Ymo-
✔✔
dem/G instead.
✔✔
Is your line noisy? If there is static on your line, the modem has to resend many
✔✔
blocks of data to insure accuracy. You must have a clean line for maximum speed.
✔✔
Are you downloading a compressed file with MNP 5 hardware compression en-
✔✔
abled? Since hardware data compression cannot compress a file already compressed by an archiving program, the transfer can be marginally slower with data compression enabled than with it disabled.

dem? The default setting of your modem is to connect using either the K56flex or the V.90 protocol, depending on which one the ISP modem is using. If your ISP uses the X2 protocol, the maximum speed you will be able to connect at is 33,600 bps. Check with your ISP to see which protocols it supports.

baud rate to four times the data rate.
✔✔
Your UART might not be reliable at serial port speeds over 9600 bps or 19,200
✔✔
bps. Turn off data compression, reset your serial port speed to a lower rate, or replace your serial port with a faster one.
✔✔
Make sure the flow control method you selected in software matches the method
✔✔
selected in the modem. If you are using the modem with a Macintosh, you might have the wrong cable for hardware flow control.
