DUMB MODE OPERATION
Your modem has two methods of operating with your computer. The
commonly used method is “smart mode”, where the computer issues
“AT” commands to the modem to make it dial and hang up. For
computers which do not offer an asynchronous port or cannot commu-
nicate synchronously using V.25bis commands, dumb mode permits
manual control of your modem.
Selecting Dumb Mode on PRO16RK Modems
To select Dumb mode on a ProRack modem:

Setting Up your Modem
In most instances, your modem will need to be configured prior to
entering Dumb mode. All configuration of your modem is performed
using the AT commands.
For example, if you wish to have your modem dial a stored telephone
number when the computer asserts (or “raises”) the DTR signal, you
must first store the telephone number in the modem and select stored
number dialing operation, using the AT commands.
