  of the non-FSK modes the modem is supplied with. Before synchronous transfers are started, some initial settings should be made. V.25bis Command Set To enable V.25bis commands use the AT*I1 command. For synchronous applications, the modem is permanently set in normal situations for use with one application.

• Page 57: Clock Options

  Syntax Command with Parameters* LSN n; <number> Clock Options Synchronous data must be transmitted and received with a common timing clock. This timing clock is used to transmit data from the DTE to the modem which modulates the data according to this clock. The receiving modem recovers the clock and data from the carrier and sends the data to the receiving DTE along with the clock.

• Page 58: Rts Options

  SLAVE RTS Options There are two RTS options. The choice depends on application and host/terminal requirements. In asynchronous mode RTS is used as a hardware flow control signal. IGNORED CTS TRACKS RTS Command State Options For synchronous data communication, there are two options you can choose from to define how the modem will operate in the command state.

For V.32/V.32bis, the modem-measured S/N ratio is generally about 2 dB higher than what is actually on the line because the modem rejects some of the out-of-band noise. For V.22/22bis, the difference can be as high as 8 dB because the modem only uses part of the 3 KHz bandwidth and rejects more than half of the voice band noise.

3 Basic Modem Operation

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 up and running with communication software, and to start making connections with your modem.

Understanding AT Commands

The U-336S/SA communicates asynchronously with computers using AT commands. AT commands are used to configure and control your modem. Commands are usually sent to the modem by way of communication software, but can also be entered manually by the user with the computer keyboard.

Command statements must be written in a specific form in order for your modem 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 your modem is in “command mode” or “off-line.”

Once your modem 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 your modem by your computer are transmitted to the remote modem rather than being interpreted by your modem as commands.

Using the Windows 95 Hyper Terminal

Program

In order 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 such things as “customize” the settings of your modem, or store commonly used phone numbers.

Once your modem is connected to your computer’s serial port and telephone line, open the Windows 95 “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 and press <Enter>.

Next, you will be prompted for country information, area code and 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 modem is connected to from the “Connect Using” list. Click “OK” when finished.

The next window sets the COM port settings. The settings used for your modem should be as follows.

Click “OK” when finished. After you have done this, save your new connection by selecting “Save” from the “File” menu and 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>

Your modem 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>

Your modem 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 tone you will hear from the speaker. To abort the operation, press any key, or select “Disconnect” from the “Call” menu.

Dialing and Answering Techniques

Depending on what communications software you use to make modem connections, you may not have as 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

Auto-Answer and Hook Controls

Quick Tips when issuing AT Commands

∙The ENTER or RETURN key must be pressed to execute a command.

∙Multiple AT commands can be combined into one line. For example, AT&D2 and AT&N0 can be combined into one line AT&D2&N0.

∙Your modem processes commands from left to right. The AT command that appears to the right might over-write the command to the left if they are trying to accomplish tasks or set modes that cannot coexist.

∙If you see duplicated characters for each one you type, your modem and software both have their “echo” feature turned on. The modem command echo state is switched off using ATE0 and on using ATE1 (default). To eliminate the double characters, turn off the software’s command echo rather than using the ATE0 command. If you see no characters in your terminal window when you type, the modem’s echo setting is probably set to off. In this case, issue the ATE1 command.

∙When a command is successfully issued and accepted, a modem responds with a “Result Code.” Your modem supports both “verbose” result codes (i.e. “OK”), and “numerical” result codes (i.e. “0”). You can use the ATV command to set it one way or the other as follows.

There are a few basic commands that do not require the “AT” command prefix. These are as follows:

The U-336S/SA supports several groups of AT commands:

You may browse the lists of available commands for each command set by using the on-line help commands: AT$, AT*$, AT&$, and ATS$. Further detail on AT commands will be covered in the chapters that pertain to their use.

Modem Result Codes

When you execute or try to execute an AT command, your modem sends a result code to let you know whether the command was executed. An OK result code means the AT command you sent was executed. If you receive an ERROR code, it means the command was invalid.

The U-336S/SA also provides result codes that show:

∙Whether or not a Dial Tone was detected when the modem originated a call.

∙If a busy signal was detected when the modem originated a call.

∙If a remote telephone ring was detected when dialing.

∙The speed, protocol, and error control/data compression method used.

∙If your modem has detected an incoming ring.

Result codes can originate from any of eight result code sets. The ATXn command lets you choose which set of result codes your modem uses. By default, your modem uses result codes equivalent to the ATX5 command.

The result code options will be covered more thoroughly in later chapters.

Viewing S Register Values

Status registers (or «S -registers») contain values that determine the modem’s operating characteristics. Whenever you send an AT command to your modem, you are actually changing the value of an S- register.

You can use the Sr? command to view the value of S-register ‘r’. For example, to view the value of S-register S0, which controls autoanswering, type ATS0? and press Enter. The modem responds with a three-digit character showing the value of this register, followed by OK. A value of 002, for example, means your modem will auto-answer incoming calls after the second ring.

Some S-registers are bit mapped. For these registers, you can use the Sr.b? command to read their values.

For example, to read the value of S-register S35, bit 7, type ATS35.7? and press Enter. The modem responds with an appropriate value, followed by OK.

Changing S Register Values

You can use the ATS0=n command to change the value of an S- register.

For example, to have your modem auto-answer an incoming call after two rings, set S-register 0 to 2. Be sure the n value is between 1 and 255. If n is set to 0, your modem will not answer incoming calls.

Non-Volatile Memory

The U-336S/SA has an amount of memory set aside for storing user information such as frequently used phone numbers and default command settings. The latter is particularly useful when using your modem to call a variety of different locations that require different settings. For this reason, your modem provides a number of user “Profiles” that can be accessed through simple AT commands. This section covers the topics of storing phone numbers, and saving default settings in the power-on profile.

Storing Phone Numbers

The AT command to store a phone number is in the format AT&Zs=n.

The ‘s’ is a number from 0 to 49 that represents the location in memory that the phone number is to be stored, and the ‘n’ is the phone number itself.

Example: To store the number ‘1-714-555-1212’ in memory location ‘2’, type:

AT&Z2=17145551212<Enter>

You can store up to 50 telephone numbers.

Dialing Stored Phone Numbers

The AT command syntax used to dial a stored number is ATDS=n.

The ‘n’ is the memory location of the stored number you want to dial.

ONOTE: AS A GENERAL RULE, WHEN A LETTER IN AN AT COMMAND DEFINITION IS SHOWN IN ITALIC TYPE, THE LETTER IS NOT TO BE ENTERED AS PART OF THE COMMAND, BUT RATHER IS REPRESENTATIVE OF A NUMBER OR STRING EXPECTED AS INPUT. FOR EXAMPLE: THE LETTER ‘S’ IN THE ATDS=N COMMAND IS ACTUALLY TYPED, UNLIKE THE ‘S’ IN THE AT&ZS=N COMMAND WHICH REPRESENTS A NUMBER.

Saving Settings and User Profiles

There are some cases where you may wish to save the settings you have made as the default settings that are recalled when your modem is powered up. The AT&WZ command selects the current settings as the power-on profile.

There are four profiles that can be changed by the user, and one factory default profile. The following table lists the syntax for the commands involved in storing, recalling, and viewing profile settings:

Profiles 0 to 3: User profiles.

Profile 4: Factory default profile.

Helpful Hints for PC Computers

Most PCs are equipped with more than one serial port. Standard cables are readily available from many suppliers. Usually, serial ports are manufactured in two forms, either with a 25-pin male jack or a 9- pin male jack. For high speed serial connections at 230.4Kbps or 460.8Kbps, use a low-capacitance cable. Also, keep the cable as short as possible.

The serial port is driven by interrupts. Every interrupt needs a certain amount of overhead processing time. Too many interrupts reduce the computer’s efficiency. The UART 16450 is very commonly used in serial port devices. For every character (byte) received, it generates an interrupt. If your hardware allows it and if your software supports it, replace the 16450 UART with a 16550 model. This newer chip has an internal buffer and generates an interrupt for up to every 16 characters (several trigger levels are available). With this UART installed, you may drive your serial port at 57600 bps and above.

While data is written from the transfer-buffer to your hard-disk, characters may be lost at the serial port. This is due to the fact that disk-access interrupts have a higher priority than serial port interrupts. If you are running at a high serial speed, e.g. 230.4Kbps or 460.8Kbps,

on your PC, be sure to enable the disk cache by including SMARTDRV execution in your AUTOEXEC batch file.

Default Modem Settings for PC’s

The U-336S/SA factory settings are configured for operation with PC type computers and communication software. In most cases, no additional settings will be required. The following are some of the default settings that are used for operation with PC computers and software:

ZyXEL Serial/Parallel I/O Card

For high-speed PC to modem communication, ZyXEL produces a special I/O adapter card. This card includes a serial port and a parallel port, each with special features, particularly when working with a ZyXEL modem, for example:

The serial port is 16550-compatible for most communication software usage. It has a speed of up to 460.8Kbps and data loss errors will not occur when working with a ZyXEL modem’s serial port. This solves high-speed communication problems in Windows and other multi-

tasking systems. The serial port has a 32-byte transmission and a 32byte receival FIFO to increase communication program efficiency.

Helpful Hints for Mac Computers

Special AT Command Settings for Mac

For operation with Mac computers, you may use the factory default settings with one exception. You must set the modem to ignore the DTR signal as follows.

Type:

AT&D0<enter> (set modem to ignore DTR)

AT&WZ<enter> (saves the settings to power-up profile)

Mac Serial Port

When you connect your modem to a Macintosh computer, make sure the cable is a hardware handshaking type. These cables are readily available. Macintosh Lisa model 128 and 512 don’t have hardware handshaking. The serial port on these (very outdated) models is provided as a 9-pin connector similar to that of a PC. The serial port on all other Macintosh models is a Mini-8.

Mac Software Tips

All terminal programs which make use of the hardware handshaking feature can be used on the Apple Macintosh. Such programs are readily available as PD, shareware or commercial software. One of the most powerful shareware programs available is ZTerm.

Fewer programs are available to make use of the ZyXEL’s fax features. One program which has found wide acceptance is FaxSTF which can be installed like a printer driver allowing you to send faxes from almost

any program which runs on your Macintosh. At the same time it allows automatic fax receiving. This program includes powerful line manager software which makes sure fax software does not interfere with other programs using the serial ports. If the modem is turned off when you start your Macintosh with the line manager activated, the computer may seem to freeze for a few minutes. During this time the line manager software tries to locate and to set up the modem. Turn on your modem before you start your Macintosh to avoid this delay.

MaxFax is another fax software for Macintosh computers.

Drivers are available which allow use of the serial ports at speeds up to 230.4 Kbps. These drivers are currently available for Power Macs and AV Macs only.

Helpful Hints for UNIX-Based Computers

Serial Cable

Please consult the documentation that came with your workstation to find the part number of or information on how to make a serial cable for your workstation. The cable should be a hardware-handshaking type. Please refer to Chapter 12 Connector Pinouts for a complete list of signals provided for the modem’s serial port.

Basic Modem Settings for UNIX

Unix environments usually don’t like modem responses or echoing of commands. Therefore you should set ATE0Q1.

Depending on your Unix setup, the cable and software used, you may have to disable carrier detection using AT&C0.

Unix Software Tips

In order to use your ZyXEL modem from a terminal or an X-Windows application, you need a program such as Minicom or Seyon.

If you wish to make use of your ZyXEL modem’s special features, special gettys such as mgetty or vgetty are needed. These programs are available from several ftp-sites. Some archives also contain source files.

You should suppress the modem’s result code to (ATQ1) because some applications may be confused by them.

4 LCD Panel Operation

This chapter explains how to place and receive calls using the U- 336S/SA front panel. An introduction to the panel operation of your modem is presented. Your modem comes with a menu driven 20 x 2 LCD display. All functions of the modem are displayed and selectable from this menu. Finally, this chapter will familiarize the user with the menu tree structure which categorizes modem operations for easy and quick reference. Modem users can also use the panel menu operations and use the equivalent AT commands listed in this chapter.

If you use your modem with a PC the factory default settings should be just right for you. Connect the modem according to the instructions in Chapter 2, install the communication software, follow the instructions in this chapter, and you’re all set!

LCD Panel

The modem’s actions, options, and parameters can be set, changed, and viewed from the front panel, or viewed and changed through AT commands by the computer or terminal connected to the modem. We will discuss panel operations in this chapter with reference to equivalent AT commands. Note that in most cases you will use your communication software to send AT commands to your modem. Only in very rare circumstances will it be necessary to use the modem’s panel.

Once turned on, the modem goes into the Idle Screen state (except if a leased line is selected). It then waits for commands from a

computer/terminal or any key pad operation from the front panel. On the LCD screen, there are four on-screen buttons:

The cursor is blinking above one of these on-screen buttons, a dark rectangle which may be moved using the keys next to the display. The modem also displays the current status and settings in the idle screen:

Panel Operation

Use the four arrow keys to manipulate the menu tree.

menu selection and is used to access the previous menu. The up arrow key also serves as a quit command when you want to stop the current action.

Down arrow key also called the ENTER key, is used solely to register the chosen selection and is very similar to the Carriage Return key or Enter key on a standard keyboard.

Menu Tree

In command state, there are three main menu trees. The IDLE menu is the default, and can be accessed after the modem is powered on or reset. The second is the CONFIGURATION menu, which also includes a submenu. The third is the DIAGNOSTIC menu. All three menu trees can be accessed by pressing the up or down arrow key. When the modem is in the data state, there is one idle screen and other data state status screens in Non-V.34 connection which can be accessed by pressing the left or right arrow key. ( There are nine and five data state status screens for V.34 and Non-V.34 mode display respectively.)

LED Status Screen

Either in idle state or data state, there is an LED status screen that can be accessed and displayed by pressing the left or right arrow key at the menu’s top level. This LED status screen has five status indicators — DCD, DSR, CTS, RTS, and SQ. These status indicators are identical to the LED indicators of the non-LCD modems. Values in one of the other screen displays may give much more detailed information than some of these status indicators; e.g., a data state screen means DCD is on, and an idle screen means DCD is off; SQ is better explained by the S/N ratio reading and the other impairment readings of data screen 2.

Double Arrows on The Screen

In some menu screens, you will see double left arrows (<<) or double right arrows (>>). This means there are more items on the left or right. Use the left or right arrow key to select them. If you can only see a double right arrow, this indicates that the current item is the first item of the menu. By pressing the left arrow key, the screen will wrap over to the last item. On the other hand, if you only find a double left arrow displayed, this indicates that your current item is the last item in that menu. Similarly, pressing the right arrow key at this point will cause the screen to wrap around to the first item.

Dialing

From the IDLE SCREEN (1) you can use the right or left arrow key to scroll through D, R, O, and A. Move the blinking cursor to D, press <enter>, and you will go into the DIALING DIRECTORY.

Valid digits/characters for dialing are:

Dial Memory

The first menu in the dialing directory is DIAL MEMORY. Pressing the ENTER key will display the following screen:

The first stored number shown on the menu is the default dial number which can be selected from the DEFAULT DIAL menu. By pressing the left or right arrow key, you can view up to 50 different numbers stored in the memory. Pressing the ENTER key will cause the selected number to be dialed.
