If You Are Using a PC
PC communications packages provide the capability of configuring the 8400B
Plus Data Module automatically. When using a PC communications package
with the 8400B Plus Data Module, there are two items to note:
1. The PC communications package should be configured to work with a
Hayes Smartmodem 2400 or Hayes compatible modem.
2. The dialing method of the PC communications package should be set to
Tone for data calls and Pulse for voice calls.
Many PC communications packages provide the possibility of writing script or
command files. These files can then be run to execute a sequence of
commands that will configure your system, or even provide an automatic log-on
procedure for a particular remote end device. Review the documentation for
your PC and PC communications package. Once you understand the PC
communications package well enough, you will be ready to begin using it with
the 8400B Plus Data Module.
Since there is such a diversity of functionality among the many PC
communications packages available, refer to the user’s manual of the package
for specific details about its use.
For more information about the AT interface and operation of the 8400B Plus
Data Module, refer to Chapter 3.
If You Are Using a Dedicated Terminal
When a dedicated terminal is used with an 8400B Plus Data Module, you must
control the operation of the 8400B Plus Data Module. In a way, you are acting
as a PC communication package. To do this, you must understand the
operation of the 8400B Plus Data Module. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on
the configuration and operation of your 8400B Plus Data Module.
