Understanding Modem Software
Communications software operates the internal modem. This
software issues commands to the modem such as the modem
connection speed, the number of rings before answering the
telephone, listening for a dial tone, or dialing a phone number.
You can use Windows HyperTerminal, communications software
which comes with Windows 95 and Windows NT, to operate the
modem in a variety of applications. For an explanation of how
HyperTerminal works, refer to HyperTerminal
’
s online help
within the software.
To access Windows HyperTerminal, click Start
Æ Programs Æ
Accessories Æ HyperTerminal.
There is also a wide range of communications software available
that can be used with this modem for tasks such as accessing your
computer from a remote location. Contact your Compaq
authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider for a complete list
of communications software applications.
Editing and Executing a Command
If you make an error while typing a command, simply backspace
over the mistake then retype. You cannot backspace over the AT
prefix because it is interpreted immediately after it is typed.
To execute a command line, press the
Enter
key. (Pressing the
Enter
key processes the command line.)
