Hints for Unix Computers and Multiplexers
Many Unix computers and multiplexers which offer synchronous com-
munications ports cannot cope with the response messages generated by
the modem. For this reason, you may wish to switch off response
messages before you connect your modem to the Unix computer or
multiplexer.
• Place front panel Option switch 6 in the Off (or Left) position.
• Connect your modem to a personal computer, a Unix computer or a
serial server — refer to the modem Installation Guide for details
• Run a communications program (for Windows, or TIP or CU for Unix)
and enter “local mode” or “terminal mode”
• Type: ATE0Q1&N0&W <E>
• Exit the communications program
This command switches off response messages and character echo,
causes the modem to ignore characters sent to it from the host while
dialing or answering, and saves the changes in the modem.
Dialing in Dumb Mode
q Store a telephone number in the modem and then have the computer
raise the DTR signal.
FPRO16RK modems can dial only by raising the DTR signal to dial a
stored telephone number.
