Using the modem abroad This section provides information for using the modem outside your country.
Advanced features This section presents advanced information for adapters that support the advanced features listed. Tasks within this section should be handled only by system administrators. Advanced adapter features To access the advanced features of the adapter, perform the following: 1. In the Control Panel, double-click Network. 2. Select the adapter and click Properties. 3. Click the Advanced tab. The Combo card has the following advanced features: 802.1p/802/1Q Tagging IEEE 802.
1. From the Windows 98 desktop, right-click on My Computer and choose Properties. 2. The System Properties window opens. Your Windows 98 version is listed under System. Enable PME Use this setting to adjust the power management compatibility of the adapter. The default setting is Disable. To explicitly allow wake up with a Magic Packet from shutdown under APM power management mode, change the setting to Enable.
Although this is the safest setting, the best performance is achieved when the threshold parameter is as low as possible without producing underruns. To experiment, set the parameter to 16. Then, if performance drops significantly, increase the value in small increments. Coalesce Buffers The rcommended value is 8 with a range of 1–32. This specifies the number of memory buffers available to the driver in case the driver runs out of available Map Registers.
requires only one PCI transaction, the PCI bus is more efficient, but transmit time is slightly longer. When the option is disabled, the packets are not coalesced, and each packet requires several PCI transactions. The PCI bus is less efficient, but transmit time is faster. Receive Buffers The recommended value is 32 and the range is 1–1024. This specifies how many buffers the driver is to use when copying data to the protocol memory.
When traffic is prioritized at the host or entry point of the network, network devices can base forwarding decisions on priority information defined in the packet. Priority Packet prioritizes traffic on the basis of priority filters—parameters you assign to be applied to outgoing (transmit) packets. Using the Priority Filter Wizard, you can set up predefined or custom priority filters on the basis of node (MAC) address, Ethernet type, or various properties of the protocol and port.
Wake on LAN The Wake on LAN (WOL) feature operates according to a published specification. In simple terms, the specification enables designers to build network adapters that are capable of “listening” to network activity even when the computer is turned off. WOL adapters have a special low-power standby mode that is active when the rest of the computer is without power. The adapter will respond to a special wake-up packet sent by another computer or network device.
3. On the Adapters tab, select the adapter you want to be on a VLAN. 4. Click Properties. 5. In PROSet, click Join VLAN. 6. Type the VLAN ID and the VLAN Name. Note: The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID on the switch. The Valid ID range is from 0–4095. The VLAN Name is for informational purposes only, and does not have to match the name on the switch. 7. Click Join VLAN. 8. Repeat Steps 3 to 6 for each VLAN you want the server to join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab. 9.
Configuration Setup The Boot Agent software provides configuration options that allow you to customize the behavior of the Boot Agent software. Changing the Boot Agent configuration will usually be required only the first time you add a new network adapter to a client computer within your network.

Appendix B. Modem function This section describes information about general modem hardware function, AT command summary, and AT commands reference S-registers. For additional information, refer to Lucent Technologies, Host-Based Controller Modem AT Command Set, Version 1.1, June 15, 1998. General Modem Hardware Function Table 3 below contains the general modem hardware functions supported. Table 3: Supported Functions Data Modes: ITU V.90, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, V.21; Bell 103, 212A V.

CLKRUN# should not be asserted if no data transaction for modem (or LAN) NT 4.0 APM Support through TP port DD for Windows NT 4.0 with the latest service pack Note: Meter Tone (billing tone) filtering for Switzerland and Germany is not included and must be provided by the user. AT command summary The following tables summarize the commands implemented by the modem.
Table 4: AT Command Set Summary. The following table is from Lucent Technologies, Host-Based Controller Modem AT Command Set, Version 1.1, June 15, 1998.
Table 5: The S-Register Summary. The S-registers 42 and 43 are for testing and debugging purposes only. Register Default Description S10 20 Automatic disconnect delay S11 95 DTMF dialing speed S12 50 Escape guard time S14 8 General bit-mapped options status S21 48 V.24 bit-mapped options status S22 112 Results bit-mapped options status S24 10 Timer to control sleep mode S28 1 V.
To modify the value of an S-register: TYPE: ATSn = r where n is the register number, and r is the new register value. PRESS: Enter S0 Auto Answer Ring Number This register determines the number of rings the modem will count before automatically answering a call. Enter 0 (zero) if you do not want the modem to automatically answer at all. When disabled, the modem can only answer with an ATA command. Range: 0-255 Default: 0 Units: rings S1 Ring Counter This register, Ring Counter, is read only.
S3 Command Line Termination Character (user defined) This register determines the ASCII values as the carriage return character. This character is used to end command lines and result codes. Range: 0-127, ASCII decimal Default: 13 (carriage return) Units: ASCII Note: This register value is not stored with &W command. S4 Response Formatting Character (user defined) This register determines the ASCII value used as the line feed character.
S6 Wait Before Dialing This register sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem must wait (pause) after going off-hook before dialing the first digit of the telephone number. The modem always pauses for a minimum of two seconds, even if the value of S6 is less that two seconds. The wait for dial tone call progress feature (W dial modifier in the dial string) will override the value in register S6. This operation, however, may be affected by some ATX options according to country restrictions.
Units: seconds S10 Automatic Disconnect Delay This register sets the length of time, in tenths of a second, that the modem waits before hanging up after a loss of carrier. This allows for a temporary carrier loss without causing the local modem to disconnect. The actual interval the modem waits before disconnecting is the value in register S10. Range: 1-254 Default: 20 Units: .1 seconds S11 DTMF Dialing Speed This register determines the dialing speed which is prefixed for each country.
0 = Numeric (V0) 1 = Verbose (Vl) (Default) Bit 6 Pulse dial PPS selection (&Pn) 0 = 10 PPS (&p0, &p1) (Default) 1 = 20 PPS (&p2) Default: 8 (00001000b) S21 V.24/General Bit Mapped Options Status Indicates the status of command options. Only bits 3, 4, and 5 are used, read-only.
5 = X2 selected 6 = X3 selected 7 = X4 selected (Default) Bit 7 Pulse dial make/break ratio (&Pn) 0 = 33/67 make/break ratio (&P1, &P2) (Default) 1 = 39/61 make/break ratio (&P0) Default: 112 (01110000b) S24 Timer to Control Sleep Mode This command displays the number of seconds of inactivity (no characters sent from the DTE, no RING) in the off-line command state before the modem places itself into standby mode. A value of zero prevents standby mode. S24 is an alias for S89.
Range: 0-255 Default: 0 S32 Synthetic Ring Volume This register specifies a synthetic ring volume. Range: 0-255 (allowed, but not meaningful) Default: 10 S33 Synthetic Ring Frequency This register specifies a synthetic ring frequency. There are five choices, with 0 meaning disabled. Range: 0-5 Default: 0 S35 Data Calling Tone Data Calling Tone is a tone of certain frequency and cadence as specified in V.25 which allows remote Data/FAX/Voice discrimination. The frequency is 1300 Hz with a cadence of .

One special value of S38, S38 = 251, is used for back-to-back (factory) testing of V.34 rates, with DSP code running in external memory. Set S38=251 on both originating and answering modems. (This feature is not valid with ramless solution.) S42 Auto Rate (default 1, range 0-1) This command is used for testing and debugging only. V.32bis and V.22bis auto rate is disabled. Retrain operation is disabled or enabled in data mode, and fallback is disabled in data mode.
