• Select your modem manufacturer, and then select the model from the list
provided. Once chosen, the system loads modem information.
• Click OK
Notes:
If your modem is not listed and you have a driver disk, click Have Disk... to
install your modem.
This setting configures the initial string of the asynchronous port on the RF500S
so that it will know how to communicate with your modem.
If you are using an analog modem and your modem is not included in the
selection list, in most cases, Standard Modem will work.
If you are using an ISDN TA, refer to the ISDN TA’s User Guide for information on
the initialization and hang up strings.
Use RouteFinder Manager to enter modem strings.
10. After the modem is selected, the Modem Setting screen re-displays.
Select the DTE speed (i.e., the speed of communication between the asynchronous
port of the RF500S and the modem) from the drop-down list box. For DCE speed
compression modems, this value can normally be set to about 4 times the speed of
your modem. Keep in mind that if you set the baud rate too high, the dial-up
connection may fail.
Note: You may need to set a lower baud rate since the theoretical maximum
connection speed may not be attainable due to variations in quality of phone line and
ISP connections.
