Modem Cellular Basics
To place data (sending information) calls, you can connect the
modem to specific cellular phones with a cable. This makes the
modem function exactly as it would if you were placing the call
over a standard telephone line. For example, you can transfer
information when you are mobile and a standard RJ-11 telephone
jack is unavailable.
Since most modem software applications do not recognize that
you are sending data from a cellular connection, you must use AT
commands when transmitting or receiving data with a cellular
phone. You can access the AT command set through the online
Reference Guide.
Use the Commands menu at the top of any
modem screen.
Disabling Cellular Phone Recognition
NOTE:
Use Windows HyperTerminal to enter command mode to
disable cellular phone recognition.
You can disable cellular phone recognition by using the
$M0
command. This command causes the modem to skip the process of
detecting a cellular phone which occurs if
$M1, $M2,
or
$M4
is
entered.
