Welcome to the World of
Portable, High-Speed Data
Communications!
Congratulations on your purchase of the AT&T Paradyne
KeepInTouch Card modem. The KeepInTouch Card is a credit
card size modem that combines high-speed V.32 bis data
communications with Group 3 send-and-receive fax capability.
The modem fits into any notebook or laptop personal computer
that has a Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (PCMCIA) Release 2 socket and allows you to keep
in touch with your home or office from anywhere around the
world.
The KeepInTouch Card family of modems includes Models
3760, 3761, 3762, 3763, and 3764. This manual contains
information on Model 3760, Model 3762, Model 3763, and
Model 3764.
Model 3763 and Model 3764 are intended for international
(particularly European) applications only and are not for use in
North America.
The KeepInTouch Card high-speed modem can transmit and
receive information over a standard telephone line at 14,400 bits
per second. It is compatible with a variety of modem standards,
allowing it to communicate with slower modems. To ensure
error-free data transfers, the KeepInTouch Card modem
employs V.42 and MNPt Levels 4–2 error control. To increase
effective data throughput and reduce the duration of calls, the
1-2 Issue 3 April 1994
modem utilizes both V.42 bis and MNP5 data compression
standards to achieve peak transmission rates up to 57,600 bps.
For fax operation, the modem supports both Class 1 and Class
2 fax standards. Class 1 fax places most of the processing
burden on the software while Class 2 fax places it on the
modem. In addition, the modem also supports the CCITT V.17
fax protocol which allows fax transfers to occur over standard
telephone lines at 14,400 bps. To take advantage of the 14,400
bps data rate, you must connect to a fax machine or fax modem
that also supports the V.17 protocol.
KeepInTouch Card modems Model 3762 and Model 3764 also
support transmission over a cellular network. These models use
the ETCt (Enhanced Throughput Cellular) protocol which
improves data communications over cellular telephone
channels. For more information about cellular operation, refer to
Appendix D,
Cellular Communications
.
The Hayesr AutoSync feature is also available in selected
models of the KeepInTouch Card modem. For more information
on Hayes AutoSync, refer to the
Using Hayes AutoSync
section
in Chapter 2,

does
include these modem drivers, no further
steps are required to configure your modem — do not
proceed to Step 4. Your PC is now set up to recognize your
KeepInTouch Card modem in the PCMCIA slot.
If your PC
does not
include these drivers, or if you are
unsure, proceed to the next step.
4. Select the “Configure the KITt Card Modem” option to
invoke the CONFIG program. The CONFIG program
examines COM port availability and reconfigures the modem
and PCMCIA socket for modem operation.
Refer to the help text files on the diskette for more
information on using the CONFIG program.
Other utilities included on the diskette are the diagnostic,
upgrade, and hot insertion programs. The diagnostic program is
useful in testing the modem and isolating problems. The
upgrade program is used to update the firmware level of the
modem when new releases become available. (Note, however,
that the upgrade feature is not available for Model 3760 and
Model 3763.) Hot insertion allows you to insert or remove the
modem while the PC is powered ON (most newer PCs already
include support for this feature in their Card and Socket

Services). For more information on these programs, refer to the
help text files included on the diskette.
Fax Application Software
Some KeepInTouch Card modems ship with software which will
allow you to send and receive facsimiles. Follow the installation
and operation instructions which are packaged with the fax
software.
Before installing any fax software, make sure the modem is
connected to your computer and turned ON.
Using Hayes AutoSync
Hayesr AutoSync is available in Model 3762 and Model 3764.
The Hayes AutoSync feature allows your modem to establish a
call between an asynchronous computer and a synchronous
mainframe computer. The advantage of this is that it eliminates
the need for a synchronous interface card in your PC.
To use this feature, a Hayes AutoSync communications
package, such as EXTRA!r Extended for DOSr by Attachmate,
must be used.
After using the Hayes AutoSync feature, it is recommended that
you reload your modem’s original configuration settings to avoid
possible conflicts during normal modem operation. The
procedure for reloading modem settings is discussed in
Chapter 3,

This chapter highlights some of the basic functions and
commands necessary to operate your modem. Whether you
consider yourself a novice or an experienced user in data
communications, you may want to read through some of the
examples to become familiar with your modem’s operation.
Using AT Commands
The KeepInTouch Card modem uses AT commands and
S-Registers to control its operation and firmware configuration.
These commands are issued from your computer through your
communications software package.
Your modem is compatible with the standard Hayes AT
command set, the most common commands used throughout
the industry, and also uses what is known as an extended AT
command set: those commands unique to the KeepInTouch
Card modem. All of these commands are listed in Chapter 4,
AT
Command Set and S-Registers.
Please review the following guidelines before using any AT
Commands.
G
AT commands must be entered while the modem is in
either Command mode or online Command mode.
The escape sequence (+++) is used to enter online
Command mode from Data mode. (For more
information, refer to the
Operating Modes (Command
and Data)
section found later in this chapter.)
G
All commands (except A/ (repeat last command) and
+++ (escape sequence)) must begin with the characters
AT and end by pressing the Enter key.
