3.2.1. Connecting to a Modem
When connecting directly to an external modem, use a standard AT to Modem cable. Make
certain the modem is initialized at the same baud rate as the RPB+ (SetUp Switch 1). The
modem must be placed in Auto-Answer mode, and set to answer in one ring. Please refer to
the user's guide for your external modem in order to determine the appropriate AT command
