MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 3 - Operation Chapter 3 – Operation Front Panel of the MultiModemDID Modem The MT5634ZBA-DID modem has 10 LED indicators on the front panel that provide information about how your modem is operating: status, configuration and activity. TD Transmit Data - The TD LED flashes when the modem is transmitting data to another modem. RD Receive Data - The RD LED flashes when the modem is receiving data from another modem.
MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 3 - Operation DID Operation Direct Inward Dialing (DID) uses an analog trunk line to route several phone numbers to one line. The MT5634ZBA-DID modem has four ports, an RS232 serial port, two RJ11 ports for connection to a POTS line and an auxillary phone, and a 4 position RJ12 for connection to the DID analog trunk. Note: The DID and POTS ports cannot operate simultaneously. On a DID line the roles of the central office and the DID modem are somewhat reversed.
MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 3 - Operation Connecting to the Internet Your Multi-Tech modem is your gateway to the Internet and the World Wide Web. To access the Internet and Web via your modem, you must establish a dial-up account with an Internet service provider (ISP). To locate an ISP near you, look in a local directory or computer publication.

MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 4 - AT Commands, S-Registers, Result Codes DID Commands The MT5634ZBA-DID modem uses *D commands to configure the modem’s DID features. The modem must be configured for the proper protocol, digit format, digit time out, digit report format, and number of digits. This configuration is determined by the company from which the DID line is ordered and the setup used by the phone company.
MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 4 - AT Commands, S-Registers, Result Codes Command: *DT Values: Default: Description: Wait for Digit Time-Out Time n = 0, 1, 2 or 3 0 This command is used to configure the time between each digit the modem will wait. If the modem has not received the proper number of digits when the timer expires, it will report the digits it has received so far and move on to the answering sequence described in the *DN command.
MultiModemDID User Guide Command: Values: Default: Description: Chapter 4 - AT Commands, S-Registers, Result Codes *DF Format for Reporting Incoming DID Number 0, 1, 2 0 This command allows for three different reporting formats of the incoming number information. This information is output when either the proper number of digits have been received or the time out timer has expired and before the modem answers the call. When set to *DFI, the modem will output one line for every digit received.

MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration Remote configuration is a network management tool that allows you to configure modems anywhere in your network from one location. With password-protected remote configuration, you can issue AT commands to a remote MT5634ZBA-DID modem for maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on site.
MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration Changing the Remote Escape Character To increase security, you can change a remote modem’s remote configuration escape character. The remote configuration escape character is stored in register S9. The factory default is 37, which is the ASCII code for the percent character (%). Setting S9 to 0 (zero) disables remote configuration entirely—but if you do this remotely, you won’t be able to change it back remotely! 1.
MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting Your modem was thoroughly tested at the factory before it was shipped. If you are unable to make a successful connection, or if you experience data loss or garbled characters during your connection, it is possible that the modem is defective. However, it is more likely that the source of your problem lies elsewhere.
MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting The Modem Dials But Cannot Connect There can be several reasons the ZBA fails to make a connection. Possibilities include • lack of a physical connection to the telephone line. • a wrong dial tone. • a busy signal. • a wrong number. • no modem at the other end. • a faulty modem, computer, or software at the other end. • incompatibility between modems. You can narrow the list of possibilities by using extended result codes.
MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting The Modem Disconnects While Online • If you have Call Waiting on the same phone line as your modem, it can interrupt your connection when someone tries to call you. If you have Call Waiting, disable it before each call. In most telephone areas in North America, you can disable Call Waiting by preceding the telephone number with *70 (check with your local telephone company).
MultiModemDID User Guide Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting DID Troubleshooting • Make sure that the MT5634ZBA-DID parameters match the DID line. Refer to the *D command. Also, verify that your fax software is configured to match the analog DID trunk line and the MT5634ZBA-DID parameters. • If callers are receiving an immediate busy signal or are allowed a short connection but become unexplectedly disconnected after a short time, try reversing the TIP and RING wires.

MultiModemDID User Guide Appendix D – Installing a Modem Under Linux Appendix D - Installing a Modem Under Linux Introduction This appendix explains how to install a modem on a computer operating under the Red Hat Linux 6.2 operating system. Other versions of Red Hat and other Linux operating systems should be similar. Briefly, in Linux, you do not need drivers for most standard external modems and most internal ISA bus modems. Programs in Linux commonly call upon the port, rather than the modem.
