Internal Switch Settings

Modem startup default speed is saved at 19200 bps in
NVRAM (non-volatile memory). Modem will auto baud
down to other serial speeds. If field panel connection is
slower speed connect terminal emulator at slower
speed before saving settings to NVRAM.

Following dial-up default commands are changed from
manufacturer’s factory default no flow control.

ATZ3 Load RAM with Factory Default Profile 0 (&F0)
AT&A0 Disable ARQ result codes
AT&B1 Fixed DTE data rate (fixed MMI Speed)
AT&K0 Disable data compression
AT&M4 Enable error control mode (NAVRAM 1)
ATX0 Modem uses basic response codes
ATS7=40 Modem waits 40 seconds for carrier
AT&W1 Save settings in NVRAM Profile 1
AT&M0 Disable error control mode (Profile 0)
AT&W Save settings in NVRAM Profile 0
ATY1 Static Set Power Up Profile to NVRAM 1

CAUTION:

USR5686G does not support &H2 &I0
software flow control between modems.
Using &H2 results in auto change to &I2
RS-232 software flow control. XON/XOFF
characters in data stream will cause
modem to disconnect, fail to connect or
stop sending. Use only &H0 &I0 no flow
control set by ATZ3.

APOGEE Insight AutoDial Application
overrides RAM (volatile memory) with
hardware flow control settings and
extended response codes.

Online Commands

CAUTION:

Factory default for USR5686G is ATY1
(NAVRAM1) error checking which
connects to modems with or without error
checking. Earlier model default was ATY0
(NAVRAM0) no error checking.

To disable error checking command ATY0
one time with DIP switch 7 UP and reset
(ATZ) or power cycle modem. ATYn
commands are non-volatile.

For other commands refer to US Robotics
documentation supplied with modem.
