II. ASYNC DTE SPEED

Terminal Speed is important in Asynchronous modes. The terminal speed of the terminal or computer
should match that of the speed of corresponding channel Async DTE Speed of modem. It is recommended
to store the terminal speed after selection, so that the channels and terminal speed on power-on will be the
correct speed. To set the channel speed using the front panel, select the Asynch DTE Speed sub-menu in
the Async Mux Config menu. Default speed for all the channels is 9600 bps. The permissible DTE Speeds
are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 and 57600 bps.
Resetting Individual Ports
Individual ports can be reset by entering the Async DTE Speed menu of the particular port and display the
current speed. If the SEL key is pressed at the current speed or at any new speed, the Port is Reset. A
command is sent to the corresponding remote port also for Reset. A Reset on a port causes the Transmit
and Receive Buffers for that port to be cleared and an XON character sent to the DTE.

E.g.: To change the ASYNC DTE 1 SPEED from 9600 bps to 4800 bps, follow the steps:

III. BYTE FORMAT

Just like DTE Speed, Byte Format is also important in Asynchronous modes and should match that of the
corresponding channel of the modem. To set the Byte Format using the front panel, select the Byte
Format sub-menu in the Async Mux Config menu. The permissible Byte Formats are :
1. Even Parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit
2. Odd Parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit
3. No Parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit. (Default)
E.g.: To change the Byte Format of DTE 2 SPEED from None/8/1 to Odd/8/1, follow the steps:

Diagnostic commands for ASYNC Ports
The four Async ports can be tested individually without disturbing the data transfer in the other channels.
The tests can be initiated from the Async Port Test main menu which has a sub menu for each of the 4
ports. There are two types of tests:
1. Local Digital loop.

2. Remote Digital Loop.
1. Local Digital Loop

If this option is enabled for a particular channel then the data coming from the terminal or terminal server
will be received by the local modem and looped back to the terminal or to the terminal server.
To Initiate Local digital Loop back for CH1 please follow the following Steps.

NOMUS GATEWAY LX 3
ADDENDUM
Network Management System (NMS)
If you have ordered the NOMUS GATEWAY Modem with the NMS Option, you can
connect a PC with the modem to configure the parameters and monitor the performance
of both the local and remote side modems. These functions can be carried out even when
the modems are connected and without causing any interference to data transfer.
GATEWAY NMS Software (sold separately) is required to be installed in a PC for this
purpose. The features of the software are:
• Allows Monitoring of the local and remote Gateway Modem Status from the PC
• Allows Configuration of the local and remote Gateway Modem from the PC
• Allows Logging & Reporting of Gateway Modem Status and Configuration
• Multiple sets of Gateway Modems can be Monitored/Configured
GATEWAY NMS Controller is also available, optionally, to control upto 16 modems

and corresponding 16 remote modems. Multiple GATEWAY NMS Controllers can be
daisy-chained to control a large pool of modems or the entire Wide Area Network of
GATEWAY Modems.
The GATEWAY Modem is equipped with a separate NMS port on the rear panel. It is a
9-pin D-type female connector. The NMS option can be enabled or disabled with the
AT*N command. To enable/disable NMS, give the following commands from a
terminal/PC connected to the Serial port of the modem:
AT *N1 <return> (Enable NMS)

AT *N0 <return> (Disable NMS)
Use the supplied 9-pin Serial cable to connect the PC to the NMS port of the modem.

Parameters:
TX Transmit speed in bps - is the actual speed of data being transmitted on line.
Range: 300-33,600bps.
RX Receive Speed in bps - is the actual speed of data being received on line.
Range: 300-33,600bps.

Addendum New Display of Parameters
Frmat Format of data connection, i.e. Async. or Sync.
EC/DC Error correction & data compression, if any, is displayed. e.g.,MNP/V42b.
TL Transmit Level in dBm - is the strength of the signal the modem is transmitting as
it is leaving the device’s transmitter.
Range: 0 to –15dBm.
RL Receive Level in dBm - is the strength of the signal the modem is receiving as it
is entering the device’s receiver.
Range: 0 to –55dBm.
SN Signal to Noise ratio in dBm - measures the signal strength compared to the
signal distortion caused by circuit noise. It is measured after it has passed through
the receiver’s equalizer. It is not the SN of the line, since the equalizer reduces
the effects of certain types of distortion. Good or bad SN depends on modulation
mode and data rate, in addition to which BER is acceptable for a specific
application to the user.
SQ Signal Quality - is a relative representation of the quality of received signal.

Range: 1-10, where 1 is Poor and 10 is Good. It represents a variety of line
impairments. A BER to SQ table follows, independent of the data rate:
-2
SQ<3, the BER is approximately greater than (worse than) 10
-2
SQ=3, the BER is approximately 10
-4
SQ=4, the BER is approximately 10
-5
SQ>4, the BER is approximately less than (better than) 10
EP Error Probability in % - represents the possibility of an error in the data stream. It

increases as the amount of noise and/or distortion increases. An error probability
value between 0% and 20% is considered good; a value between 21% and 40% is
considered fair; and a value between 41% and 70% is representative of marginal
line quality.
EQM Line Quality - is the relative representation of a variety of line impairements.

Range: 0 to 127, where 0 is the best quality. Usually, an EQM of less than 15 is
considered to be acceptable.

Addendum New Display of Parameters
PJ Phase Jitter in degrees - measures the change in phase of the analog signal from
the referenced phase of the main data-carrying signal. The shift in phase is often
caused by alternating current components. Modulation of carrier with another
signal during transmission causes the change of phase or frequency.
Range: 0 - 45 degrees, with 0 meaning there is no phase jitter.
FO Frequency Offset in Hz - is the measure of the incoming signal’s deviation from

normal carrier frequency. This condition is caused by two data carrier systems
being out of time with each other. All operating modes cancel out any frequency
offset on the line. e.g., if 1 Hz of frequency offset is detected on the line, all
received signals are adjusted by 1 Hz.
RC Retrain Count - is the number of retrains in one connection.
Test in Progress displays the loopback test in progress, if any. The various tests are:
ALB, DLB, RDLB, ALB Self Test & RDLB Self Test.
Abbreviations:
st
4W-L 4 Wire Leased. The 1 frame displays the line connection mode also. The various
modes are: PSTN, 2W-L or 4W-L.

ADDENDUM
NEW FEATURES
The following features have been added/updated in the new modem firmware
(N34GWST R7 dated 13/8/99 and later).
1. Automatic Leased Line Restoral in Dial Backup mode improved. Restoral Timer
is implemented in Register-S202 in minutes. This register can also be set from the
Front Panel and saved in the 2 NVRAM Profiles. Dial Backup works in
asynchronous as well as synchronous modes. In dial backup mode, the modem
switches to PSTN dial up line automatically when it determines that the leased line
has failed. The answer side modem will answer after approx. 2 Rings irrespective of
Register-S0 setting. The modem remains in dial backup mode for the time stored in
Register-S202 (minimum & default S202=10 min. and maximum S202=253 min.).
Then it checks whether the leased line has recovered. If so, it restores back to the
leased line from the PSTN dial up line. In case the leased line has not yet recovered,
it retrains and goes back to the PSTN dial up line without disconnecting. Register-
S202=255 disables Leased Line Restoral, i.e. modem never checks whether the
leased line is restored. Register-S202=254 sets restoral timer to approx. 2 min. for
Testing purpose. Refer chapter-6 of the user’s manual for details.
2. Uni-direction XON/XOFF flow control (&K1). When transmitting binary data,

use of XON/XOFF flow control could cause stoppage of data transfer. It is preferred
to use RTS/CTS flow control. However, in case that is not feasible, you can now use
the Uni-direction XON/XOFF control. When enabled, the modem ignores any
XON/XOFF characters generated by the computer and transmits them as data. To set
the modem for Uni-direction XON/XOFF flow control, use the command:

4. Callback & Password Security (Optional) allows the modem to provide secure
communication. If enabled, the modem asks for a password from the remote side
when connection is made. If the password matches any one of the twenty passwords
stored in the modem, it disconnects the call and calls back the remote modem at the
number stored against that password. When the remote modem answers, connection
will be established and data transfer can take place. If no number is stored against
that password, it will not disconnect the call and allow the connection to proceed
with data transfer. The security must be enabled on the answer side modem only. To
enable/disable security, use the commands:
2
AT %S1 <return> (Enable security)

AT %S0 <return> (Disable security)
The command for entering the passwords is as follows:
AT *P[n]:[password]:[tel number]
where, n is a memory location 0 to 3 (or 19), password is an alphanumeric string of

6-12 characters and tel number can be of 15-21 digits. e.g.
AT *P[8]:NOMUS COMM:0265-333156 for callback security

or AT *P[8]:NOMUS COMM: for no callback, only password security
NOTE: (i) Normally, you can store upto 4 passwords and tel numbers. However,
if desired, you can order modems with 20 password storage at the time of
placing order.
(ii) The tel number length can be 15-21 digits (27 - length of password)
depending on the length of password used for that entry. e.g. if password
is 10 digits, you can store tel number of 17 digits.
The command for displaying the passwords is as follows:
AT *L
5. Local Analog Loopback (ALB) and Remote Digital Loopback (RDLB) tests in
Synchronous mode (&Q1). Tests can also be performed from the LCD Front Panel
as described in chapter-7 (pg. 7-3) of user’s manual.
6. After connection, the Status Screens now also display the Line Connection Mode, i.e.
4W-L, 2W-L or PSTN. This is to show the mode in which the modems are currently
connected.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Modems are used for communication between various computers or between computers
and terminals over ordinary or leased (dedicated) telephone lines. You can use modems
to log-on to micro, mini, main frame computers for On-line Data Processing. You can
use them to connect two remote computers for data transfer. It is also useful in
connecting multiple terminals to the computer from a long distance. There are numerous
such applications where modems can be used.
HOW YOUR MODEM WORKS

Modems are essentially translators in data communication system. Computers
communicate in digital language while the telephone lines communicate in analog
language. Modems translate (modulate) the computer's digital signal into an analog
signal and also re-translate (demodulate) the analog signal from the telephone line to a
digital signal for the computer. The word MODEM, in fact, is derived from the words -
MOdulate and DEModulate.
Modems transmit information between computers - bit by bit in a serial stream. To

represent a bit (or group of bits), modems modulate the characteristics of the waves that
are carried by the telephone lines. Any combination of Frequency or Amplitude or Phase
characteristics of the waves may be changed by the modem for transmitting the bits. The
rate at which the modem changes these characteristics determines the speed of data
transmission. The rate of this change is called the Baud Rate of the modem. Simple
modulation techniques such as Frequency Modulation transmit 1 bit within each baud.
So the speed of the modem in bits per second would be the same as baud rate. However,
in more advanced modulation techniques such as Quadrature Amplitude Modulation,
4 bits are transmitted in each baud. Thus, the speed of the modem transmitting at 600
baud would be 2400 bps.
1-1
Chapter 1 Introduction
The modem can transmit data in either of 2 formats : Asynchronous or Synchronous.
Asynchronous Communications
Asynchronous communications is the type used by virtually all PC and compatible

computers and inexpensive ASCII data terminals. It is also the mode of communication
in most mini and micro computers. An asynchronous modem is usually compatible with
the industry standard "AT" command set, providing a widely understood method for
software and manual control of the modem.
Your computer or terminal transfers bytes to and from the modem via an asynchronous
serial port. This serial port is built into all asynchronous terminals. Some computers
come with asynchronous serial ports as standard equipment; some must have them added
by plugging in an appropriate board. This serial port is often referred to as the "RS-
232C" port since its design is based on the EIA RS-232C specifications.
The asynchronous serial port converts parallel digital data into serial digital data. It then
adds the start, parity and stop bits necessary to correctly format the data according to the
EIA RS-232C specifications for asynchronous communications. The start and stop bits
define the beginning and end of each character (or byte of data) and the parity bit can be
used in a simple error detection technique. The resulting formatted serial data is
transferred to your modem one bit at a time.
The data sent to the modem will be either commands used to control the modem, or data
to be transmitted to the remote terminal or computer. Modem commands are executed,
and after a connection with the remote modem is made, your modem converts the digital
serial data to be transmitted into analog serial data that is compatible with the telephone
network. This is then transmitted over the telephone line.
Receiving is just the opposite. Your modem receives serial analog data (one bit at a time)
from the telephone network and converts it to serial digital data in a format that can be
transferred to the asynchronous port in your computer or terminal. The asynchronous
port removes the start and stop bits, and can optionally provide error detection.
1-2
Synchronous Communications
Synchronous communications is the standard technique used in the main-frame computer

world. Although synchronous communications is more complex, it is much more
efficient.
In synchronous communications, start, stop and parity bits are not used. Characters
(bytes) are sent in groups, called blocks, with special synchronization characters placed
at the beginning of the block and within it, to ensure that enough 0 to 1 or 1 to 0
transitions occur for the receiver clock to remain accurate.
The exact formatting of the serial data is determined by which synchronous

communications protocol is used. Common protocols include BISYNC, SDLC and
HDLC, each defining unique formats and methods of error detection.
Unlike asynchronous communications, there is no standardized command set for

controlling a synchronous modem. This makes establishing a communications
connection far more complex.
Since the NOMUS GATEWAY is synchronous as well as asynchronous modem, it can

be used with a wide variety of computers.
V.42 & MNP Communications
The CCITT V.42 & Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP) provide you with an error-
detection and correction capability on data being transmitted and received. When using
these protocols, the protocol controls the flow of modem-to-modem data. The "Speed" of
data transfer will depend on which protocol is in use, whether or not data compression is
being used, and the number of errors that are detected and automatically corrected.
1-3
MNP Class 10 Operation
The NOMUS GATEWAY modem has the MNP Class 10 Performance Enhancement as
an option. MNP Class 10 is a protocol used over and above MNP Classes 3-5. It is
designed to enhance modem performance under adverse telephone line conditions. This
it does, with Robust Auto-Reliability, i.e. longer negotiation period, initial negotiation at
lower speed and data transfer at higher speed and aggressive data packet sizing,
depending upon the telephone line conditions.

terminals from companies such as IBM, DEC (VT100, VT220), Wyse and their
compatibles. It will also work with synchronous terminals, printers and computers.
Your Computer
Your NOMUS modem will work with all IBM PC/PS2 and compatible computers. Your
modem will also work with most other computers that support RS-232C asynchronous or
synchronous serial ports. The computer must have either a built-in asynchronous serial
port, or an asynchronous or synchronous serial port on a plug-in board.
If you are not sure whether or not your computer has a serial port already installed, look
at the back of your computer where all of the cables are plugged in. Serial port
connectors will have either 25 or 9 pins. IBM PC, PC/XT computers and most
compatibles have 25 pins. IBM AT computers and some AT compatibles have 9 pins.
The mating cable will have either 25 or 9 pins that plug into your serial port connector.
Refer to Appendix A for details regarding the RS-232C signals required by the modem.
You must refer to your computer's documentation to determine whether its serial port
supports synchronous communications or asynchronous communications.
Your RS-232C Serial Cable
To connect your modem to your terminal, printer or computer, you need a standard male
to female EIA RS-232C cable.
The exact cable type is dependent upon the electrical and mechanical design of your
computer or terminal. For details of the modem serial interface, and some common cable
types, see Appendix A, EIA RS-232C Cable Wiring.
Nomus Comm-Systems recommends that you use a shielded EIA RS-232C cable in
order to minimize RFI emissions which may interfere with other electronic equipment
nearby.

CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING THE MODEM
Introduction To Installation
Your NOMUS GATEWAY modem can be installed for data communications
application with any DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) capable of serial communication.
The DTE (terminal or computer) should be equipped with an RS-232C port for
synchronous or asynchronous communication. Refer to your DTE's hardware reference
manual for the location and type of serial port.
The procedure is slightly different when you intend to use the modem's Synchronous
mode operation. Also refer to Chapter 5 for additional Synchronous mode details.
In this chapter,
1. You will physically install the modem by connecting it to your terminal or

computer, the electric wall outlet, and the phone line (and optionally to your
telephone),
2. You will turn the modem and DTE (terminal/computer) ON, and check for proper
operation by noting which front panel lamps are ON and finally,
Preliminary Steps
1. Remove the contents of your NOMUS package.
Save the box in case you ever need to ship the modem.
2. You will need a small flat-head screwdriver.
2-1
Chapter 2 Installing the Modem
3. You should have installed your terminal or computer with an RS-232C serial port
and communication software.
4. Turn OFF your terminal or computer and monitor as well as any other external
devices such as a mouse, printer or plotter. Unplug the terminal or computer.
5. Position the terminal or computer so that you have access to the back of the unit.
Also, turn your modem so that its rear panel is facing you.
Front Panel
On the front panel of your modem you will see the following:
* LCD Display: This is a 16 Character by 2 Line LCD display which displays the
modem status & configuration menus.
* Configuration Switches: These are 4 switches marked as follows:
MENU PARA SELECT ESC
These switches are used to configure the modem, & monitor the modem status.
* LEDs: These are 8 Leds which provide a ready visual indication of the modem
status. These are marked as follows:
CTS RTS TR MR
OH CD RD SD
.
The significance of the leds are provided in Appendix B, LED Summary.
2-2
Rear Panel
On the rear panel of your modem you will see the following:
* Connector labeled DIALUP: This is used to connect the modem to the

PSTN/Dialup phone line using the special telephone cable supplied.
* Connector labeled LEASED: This is used to connect the modem to the Leased line
using the special telephone cable supplied.
* RS-232C connector: This connects the modem to your computer or terminal via an
RS-232C serial cable.
* Power connector: This connects the modem to the 230 VAC power socket.
* Power switch: This turns power to the modem ON or OFF.
* Fuse: This is a 0.1 Amp, 250 V fuse for the protection of the modem from power
surges.
Making The Connections

The NOMUS GATEWAY can be used on PSTN Dialup lines, 2 wire leased lines, 4 wire
leased lines or 2/4 wire leased lines with Dialup Backup. In case of leased line operation
with Dial line backup, you need to make connections to both the leased line as well as
the Dialup line.
Line and Phone Connection - PSTN Dialup Lines.
This connection is to be made when the modem is to be used on the PSTN dialup
telephone line.
This connection uses a Rosette Box “DIALUP & PHONE” for making the connections.
Also, a cable, “GW DIALUP”, with RJ11 jack on both the ends is provided to connect
the modem and the Rosette Box. The connection is to be made to the Junction box
terminated from the telephone exchange. If a telephone instrument is already connected,
disconnect the wires of the telephone instrument and connect these instrument wires to
PHONE marked on the Rosette Box (Red & Green wires in Rosette Box). Connect the
2-3
two terminals from the junction box to DIALUP marked on the Rosette Box (Green &
Yellow wires in Rosette Box). Connect the one end of the “GW DIALUP” cable to the
Rosette Box and other end to rear panel of the modem labeled DIALUP. Lift the handset
of the phone. If you hear a dial tone then the modem is properly connected. Close the
Junction box and Rosette Box.
NOTE: If you plan to use your telephone line for data transmission only,
you do not need to make the PHONE connection. But if you plan to use
the line for data transfers as well as for voice conversations, make both
connections. Your phone, in this case will work normally. However,
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE PHONE FOR VOICE
CONVERSATION WHILE YOU ARE TRANSMITTING OR
RECEIVING DATA.
Line Connection - 2-wire Leased Line.
This procedure is to be followed when the modem is to be used on a 2-wire leased line. If
a PSTN dial backup is also being used, make the connections described in the previous
section also. To make the 2-wire leased line connection, a Rosette Box marked
“LEASED LINE” is provided. Also, a cable, “GW 4W LL”, with RJ11 jack on both the
ends is provided to connect the modem and Rosette Box.
Connect the two wires of the leased line to TX marked on the Rosette Box (Red & Green
wires in Rosette Box). The RX (Black & Yellow wires) on Rosette Box need not be
used. Connect the one end of the “GW 4W LL” cable to the Rosette Box and other end to
rear panel of the modem labeled PHONE/LINE.
NOTE: The modems are configured at the factory for either 2 or 4-wire
leased lines depending on what was specified in your order. Generally, a
modem shipped from the factory with 2-wire configuration cannot be
connected to 4-wire lines. It requires upgradation at the factory. Whereas,
4-wire modems can be re-configured for 2-wire line. The procedure is
described later in Chapter 4, Establishing Connection.
2-4
Line Connection - 4-wire Leased Line.
This procedure is to be followed when the modem is to be used on a 4-wire leased line. If
a PSTN dial backup is also being used, make the connections described in the previous
section also. To make the 4-wire leased line connection, a Rosette Box marked
“LEASED LINE” is provided. Also, a cable, “GW 4W LL”, with RJ11 jack on both the
ends is provided to connect the modem and Rosette Box.
Examine the 4-wire termination of the leased line from the telephone exchange to
determine which 2 wires are for transmission & which 2 are for Receiving. Connect the
transmit pair of the Leased line to the RX marked on the Rosette Box (Red & Green
wires in Rosette Box) & the receive pair of the leased line to the TX marked on the
Rosette Box (Black & Yellow wires in Rosette Box). Connect the one end of the “GW
4W LL” cable to the Rosette Box and other end to rear panel of the modem labeled
PHONE/LINE.
RS-232C Connection
Plug the male end of your RS-232C serial computer cable into the RS-232C port on the
rear panel of the modem. Then, plug the other end into the serial port on your computer
or terminal. After attaching the cable, tighten the small screws on the cable connector to
ensure a good connection. For details on what type of RS-232C cable you need, refer to
Appendix A, EIA RS-232C Cable Wiring.
Power Connection
Connect the small connector of the power supply module to the POWER connector on
the back of the modem. Connect the 3-pin plug of the power supply module to a properly
grounded 230 VAC, 5A electrical outlet.
WARNING: To prevent harmful contact with the hazardous voltages,

do not insert any objects through any openings of the modem do not
remove the modem's cover while it is plugged into the wall outlet.
2-5
Power-On Test
To check that you have made the connections properly, turn your terminal or computer
ON, and turn the power switch on the modem's back panel ON.
Now turn the modem so you are looking at the front panel. The LEDs for a normal
factory configured modem should be as follows:
CTS RTS TR MR
On On On On
OH CD RD SD
Off Off Off Off
The TR & RTS LEDs may or may not be ON depending on the kind and state of your
DTE (terminal or computer) equipment.
For a complete list of the indicator lamps and their functions, see Appendix B, Indicator
Lamp Summary.
The LCD display goes through the following displays:
NOMUS Gateway-V34 The modem is testing its internal circuitry.

<Testing Modem>
NOMUS Gateway-V34 The modem has tested its internal circuitry

< Modem Ready > and found it OK.
- MAIN MENU - The modem is ready for commands from the

Standing By Front Panel or via AT commands.
2-6
If your modem gives you a different set of lamps turned ON or the LCD display is other
than that described above, you might have one of the following conditions:
* Defective or incorrectly designed RS-232C serial cable. See Appendix A or your

dealer for assistance.
* A poor connection. Try reinstalling your RS-232C serial cable at both ends.
* If no lamps are ON, you may not have electricity going to your modem. Check the
power cable, the modem's power ON switch, and the electrical wall outlet.
* Your terminal or computer is not turned ON, or it is defective. Try another terminal
or computer.
* Your modem is attempting a connection as set earlier through the LCD Front-panel
or via AT commands.
When all indicator lamps agree, you are ready to go on to the next chapter and configure
your modem to communicate.

CHAPTER 3
CONFIGURING THE MODEM
Introduction to Configuring
The modem comes with certain default settings. These settings determine most aspects of
the modem's behavior, and have been selected because they are frequently used.
Therefore, you may be able to use your modem as is, without making any changes.
However, you can change these settings, using the Front-panel or by issuing
AT Commands and changing S-Registers (Refer Chapters 7 & 8 for details).
In this chapter you will be introduced to the LCD display & front panel switches and also
to the "AT" commands which will enable you to modify & monitor the modem setting
to suit your application & requirements.
The Front-panel
The front panel consists of the LCD display & the 4 front panel switches.
Refer to the LCD Configuration Chart provided in this chapter to familiarize yourself

the modem, the line and the remote modem.
REMOT CONFG MENU: This menu provides a means of configuring the remote
modem from the local modem during a data connection without
disrupting the data traffic.
REMOT PRFL MENU: This menu allows the storage of the remote modem’s
parameters from the local modem without disrupting data traffic.
Front-panel Switches
The various functions can be selected with the 4 front panel switches. The functions
provided by the switches are as follows:
MENU: This switch moves the display from one menu to the next or one sub-
menu to the next. Only the menu heading will be changed by pressing this
switch. The actual setting cannot be changed by this key.
In special cases where, Password or S-register values are to be entered

this key also switches from one significant position to the next in the
number.
PARA: This switch moves the value for each parameter from one value to the
next.
SELECT: This switch selects the particular menu or parameter displayed.
ESC: This switch moves the menu to the previous higher menu. It is also used
to go through the many modem status windows.
The current setting of any parameter is shown surrounded by square brackets. When a
particular parameter is selected with the SELECT key, the display flashes twice
indicating that the setting has taken effect. The new value of the parameter now appears
surrounded by a square brackets indicating that it is now the current setting.
3-3
Configuring using "AT" Commands

The modem can also be configured using "AT" commands. In fact some of the
parameters can be configured using only these commands. These commands can be
issued via the serial port of the modem using a computer or serial terminal.
Note : "AT" commands cannot be issued if modem is configured for Leased Line
operation or in the Dumb mode.
Getting Into Terminal Mode

Before you can use any of the modem's commands, it must be installed, your terminal or
computer turned ON, and your computer's communication software loaded.
If your computer's communication software presents you with a menu, choose "terminal
mode", which may also be called terminal emulation mode, dumb terminal mode, local
mode, or direct connect mode. In this mode you can explicitly command the modem to
perform as you want it to. If your software does not present you with a menu, or you are
using a terminal, you are probably in terminal mode already. Choose the desired
communication parameters such as speed, parity, stop bits on the computer or terminal.
The modem uses AT commands for dialing, answering, hanging up, and other
communication tasks. Here are the most commonly used commands (for a complete list,
see Chapter 7):
AT Attention. This is the command line prefix.

A Answer an incoming call.
D Dial the following phone number.
E Turn echo OFF.
H Hang up the Modem.
Z Reset the modem to its default state.
A/ Repeat last command.
+++ Return to the Command State.
3-4
The Command Line
Here are a few rules you must follow when issuing commands to the modem.
1. Every command line must begin with the letters AT. (The exceptions are the A/
command and the +++ command.)
2. You can group several commands on one line as long as the total line does not
exceed 40 characters (not counting spaces and the AT).
3. You may leave spaces between the commands, include punctuation in telephone
numbers, and type commands in either upper or lower-case. e.g., the following
commands are considered identical by the modem:
ATX4DP5551234 or AT x4 d p 555-1234
4. If you make an error, backspace and re-type the characters correctly.
5. To execute the command line, press the ENTER or RETURN key on the keyboard
(shown as <return> in this manual). (The exceptions are the A/ command and the
+++ command).
6. To cancel a command in progress, press any key.
7. To repeat the last command line, type A/. e.g., you may use this command after
engaged (busy) signal to re-dial.
NOTE: If you are using a computer, and characters you type appear
double (e.g., you see AATT DD), you need to disable command echo by re-
configuring your communication software (refer to the software manual).
If modem does not respond to AT commands, ensure that Dumb Mode is
Off.
3-5
Result Codes
Whenever you issue a command, the screen will respond with a message. This message
is called a Result Code. It tells you whether the command has been executed, whether
you are connected to another modem, whether the modem received a busy signal, and so
forth.
The modem is factory set to give you the maximum responses, and to give them to you
verbally (in whole words rather than in numbers). However, you can alter result code
responses in the following ways:
1. The X command instructs the modem to give you less detailed responses. The
default is X4.
2. The V0 command instructs the modem to give you numerical (digits) instead of
verbal result codes.
3. The Q1 command disables generation of result codes.
4. The W dial string modifier instructs the modem to always include the "NO
DIALTONE" result code.
Giving Commands During Data Connection

The modem has two operational states: Command State and Data (Online) State. When
you first turn your modem ON, it is in Command State and you can type commands from
your computer or terminal. However, once you make a connection with another modem
and start passing information over the telephone line, you are in the Data (Online) State
and can no longer type commands.
If your connection with the other modem is broken for any reason, you will
automatically return to Command State so that you can issue new commands. However,
you may want to return to Command State temporarily without losing your data
connection (e.g., to change a communication parameter). The modem has a special
Escape Code for this. To return to Command State during a data connection, wait for
3-6
one second of inactivity, and then quickly type +++. After one second of inactivity, you
will see OK on the screen. You are in Command State and can issue commands, but you
have not lost your data connection. When you are in the Command State and want to go
Online, type the following:
AT O <return>
You will see CONNECT xxxx on the screen where xxxx indicates speed of connection and
your data connection will continue.
Password Security
The NOMUS GATEWAY can be configured both by issuing AT commands as well as
through he front-panel. To prevent frequent or unauthorized changes in the configuration
from the front panel, the GATEWAY incorporates password security. This security is
applicable only to the front-panel. Even while this security is in effect, the modem can be
configured using AT commands.
* The password consists of 6 numerals: 0 to 9.

* The factory default password is 111111.
* Password checking is disabled at the factory.
* Entering of a wrong password automatically enables password security.
* When password security is enabled, changes cannot be made in the CONFIG
MENU without first entering the password. However, settings in these menus can
be viewed without entering the password.
* If configuration changes are attempted while password check is enabled & the
correct password has not been entered, the * UNAUTHORIZED * message will
be displayed.
* Once the password is entered, configuration changes can be made until power-off
or a wrong password is entered intentional or accidentally.
To enable/disable password security, and to enter new & old passwords, the AUX
CONFIG menu is to be used.

Storing the Settings

The default settings that are in effect when you purchase your modem are called the
Factory Profile. There are two other profiles: Active Profile and Stored Profile. The
Active Profile contains the settings in effect while the modem is turned ON. The Stored
Profile contains the settings saved by you in the modem's non-volatile memory
(EEPROM). Read the sections below describing each of these profiles.
The Active Profile
The Active Profile defines how modem will function at any given time. It constantly
changes as you use AT commands. However, when you turn your modem ON, or reset it,
the modem reads its memory, and makes the Active Profile the same as the Stored
Profile. When you turn your modem ON for the very first time, Active, Stored and
Factory Profiles will be identical. However, as you issue commands and make S-Register
changes, Active Profile will change. When you store an Active Profile into modem's
memory, Stored Profile is made to be the same as the current Active Profile.
3-9
The Stored Profile
The Stored Profile defines how the modem will function when it is turned ON or reset.
You can make any Active Profile the same as Stored Profile by saving it in modem's
memory with the following command:
AT &W0 <return> or AT &W <return>

modem's memory. See Appendix E, Factory Profile Summary, for a list of the AT
commands and S-registers that can be saved.
When you turn your modem ON, one of the 2 Stored Profiles is made the Active Profile.
You can make the Stored Profile 0 as the Active Profile on power-up with the command:

Display of the Profiles
The Active and the 2 Stored Profiles along with the 4 stored telephone numbers can be
displayed on your computer or terminal with the following command:
AT &V <return>
The display and the description of the settings, when the modem is shipped from the
factory, are shown in Appendix E, Factory Profile Summary.
Remote Configuration from the Front-panel

The NOMUS GATEWAY is equipped with primary & secondary channels. The primary
channel is mainly used for data transfer & diagnostics. The secondary channel can be
used to monitor & configure the remote modem using the front-panel of the local
modem.
To initiate configuration of the remote modem, establish a connection with the remote
modem at a speed higher than 4800 bps. Then enter the Remot Confg Menu. You will be
able to enter all the Config menus of the remote modem except Line Config. After
making changes in the remote modem enter the Remot Profl Menu to save the
parameters in the EEPROM of the remote modem. You can only perform a strore
operation on the remote modem and not the retrieve operation.
3 - 12
CHAPTER 4
ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATION
The NOMUS GATEWAY supports Asynchronous & Synchronous modes of operation.

In asynchronous mode of operation each byte is sent as a stream of 6, 7, or 8 bits along
with a parity bit. The beginning of the data stream is denoted by a Start (always a 0) bit,
and the end of the byte by Stop (always a 1) bit.
Setting Communication Parameters

Whenever you communicate via modem you use certain settings that establish
agreements between your modem and the remote modem. These settings are called
communication parameters and cover such items as baud rate, parity, character length,
and the number of stop bits.
The baud rate between the computer or terminal and the modem is referred to as the
Terminal Speed whereas the baud rate between the two modems is the Line Speed. For
proper operation the terminal speed of the modem should be the same as that of the
terminal or computer at both the local and remote sides. Similarly, other parameters such
as parity, character length and the number of stop bits should be the same at both ends.
If you are using a computer, communication parameters are set and changed by your
software. If you are using a terminal or printer, parameters are set and changed by DIP
switches or special setup menus on the terminal.
You may find that you can communicate perfectly without changing your software
settings. This can be because your terminal or computer software program uses common
default settings which may be the same as those of the remote modem. However, if you
experience difficulty, you may have to change your communication parameters.
4-1
Chapter 4 Asynchronous Operation
The communication parameters allowed for the modem are:
Asynchronous Direct mode:
1. Terminal Speed: will be equal to the Line Speed.

2. Data bits: 5,6,7 or 8.
3. Stop bits: 1, 1.5, 2.
4. Parity: Odd/Even/Mark/Space/None.
Asynchronous Normal & Error Correcting mode:
1. Terminal Speed: 115200, 57600, 38400, 33600, 31200, 28800, 26400, 24000,
21600, 19200, 16800, 14400, 12000, 9600, 7200, 4800, 2400, 1200, or 300 bps.
2. Data bits: 7 or 8.
3. Stop bits: 1.
4. Parity: Odd/Even/Mark/Space/None.
NOTE: When 8 Data bits are used, None parity should be set and for 7 Data bits, Odd,
Even, Mark or Space parity.
Selecting the Terminal Speed from the front-panel
The Terminal Speed is important in Asynchronous modes. The terminal speed of the
terminal or computer should match that of the modem. It is recommended to store the
terminal speed after selection, so that the modems terminal speed on power-on will be
the correct speed. To set the terminal speed using the front panel, select the Asynch DTE
Speed sub-menu in the Digital Config menu.

Storing the Terminal Speed in the modem:
The modem normally adjusts its terminal speed to that of the computer or terminal when
it receives an AT command. But on power up its terminal speed will be determined by
the speed stored in non-volatile memory. To store a particular speed for the modem to
default to on power up, issue the following command at the desired speed:
AT &W0 &W1 <return>
NOTE: Terminal speed higher than the line speed should be used only
with Flow Control enabled. See Chapter 4 for details.
Error Correction
Asynchronous Communication can be Error Correcting or Non-Error Correcting. In
Error Correcting modes, any errors introduced by noise or disturbance on the telephone
line will be automatically corrected.
The NOMUS GATEWAY modem uses the CCITT V.42/V.42bis (LAPM) and
Microcom Networking Protocol, MNP Class 2-5 (V.42 ALT) for error correction,
compression and flow control of data. These protocols ensure 100% error-free
communication and increase data throughput speed 2 to 4 times the line speed in
4-3
asynchronous communication. The actual speed will depend on telephone line condition,
type of data, terminal speed, etc.. Modems support a specific class of service, e.g., the
modems supporting MNP only will not work in Error Correcting mode with those
supporting only CCITT V.42.
NOMUS GATEWAY supports both V.42 bis or MNP5 Data Compression as well as
V.42 and MNP4 Error Correction.
Configuring the modem for Error Correction operation
1. Enable Error Correction with the &Q5 command.

2. Select the fallback options for Error Correction with the S48 and S37 or the \N
command.
3. Select the flow control technique with &K command.
4. Select data compression with %C command.
5. Configure other modem parameters as appropriate.
7. Store configuration in memory if desired (&W command).
NOTE: For error correction, modems at both ends must support error
correction and it must be enabled. The modems will then connect at the
highest Class supported by both modems.
Asynchronous Operating Modes

The modem has four Asynchronous operating modes. These modes determine how the
modem communicates with the remote system. The three modes are: Normal, Direct and
Error Correcting. The modes can be set with the &Q[n] command. Also, refer to register
S36.

Normal Mode
Normal mode allows connection with any Hayes compatible modem. It allows the Error
Correction capable modem to communicate with modems that do not support Error
Correction. Using the GATEWAY in Normal mode is exactly like using a non-Error
Correcting modem, i.e., error correction and data compression are not enabled. In
Normal mode, the terminal speed of the modem can be different from the line speed.
Flow Control should be enabled to prevent loss of data. To set the modem for Normal
mode, use the command:
AT &Q6 <return>
4-5
Direct Mode
Direct mode is the same as Normal mode except that terminal speed will always adjust to
line speed regardless of modem Baud Adjust. Direct mode is the true non-Error
Correcting mode. To set the modem for Direct mode, use command:
AT &Q0 <return>
Error Correcting Mode
This mode allows the modem to establish an Error Correcting link with the remote
modem. Error Correction can be of MNP or V.42 (LAP-M) protocol. This mode
provides error detection and automatic re-transmission of data when an error occurs. This
ensures that communication between two modems is error-free. If the remote modem
does not support error-correction or the line condition is such that an Error Correcting
link cannot be made, the modem will follow the fallback option set by S-register 36.
AT &Q5<return>
The particular error correcting mode desired can be selected using register S48.
Flow Control
When using an Error Correcting Link, the "speed" at which data is transferred back and
forth between the local terminal or computer and the modem can be different than the
"speed" at which data is being transferred between the two modems.
Buffers (memory dedicated to temporary data storage) and flow control are used to
isolate the modem-to-modem and computer-to-modem speed differences. Data from
the computer enters the modem and is stored in the transmit buffer. The MNP Reliable
Link protocol removes data from the transmit buffer and sends it out via the modem
circuitry onto the phone line. By controlling how the computer sends data into the
transmit buffer, we can allow the MNP protocol to manage the modem-to-modem
connection at whatever speed it can maintain.
4-6
When the transmit buffer is full, flow control instructs the computer to stop transmitting
data to the modem. The modem continues to send out data, and the buffer starts to
empty. When the buffer has space available, flow control signals the computer to resume
transmitting data to the modem. Received data is handled exactly the same, in the
opposite direction, except that it is stored in a receive buffer.
The modem offers two types of flow control techniques: Software (XON/XOFF) and
Hardware (RTS/CTS). The flow control type may be set with &K command.

XON/XOFF Flow Control
When XON/XOFF flow control is used, transmission of data is stopped by sending an

XOFF ASCII character to the computer and restarted by sending an XON ASCII
character. The modem generates XON/XOFF characters using the same parity setting
used for data. Flow control is generally bi-directional, and the computer can also
generate XON/XOFF characters that the modem will honor. To set the modem for
XON/XOFF flow control, use the command:
AT &K4 <return>
4-7
Pass-through XON/XOFF Flow Control
In pass-through XON/XOFF flow control, the modem will honour XON/XOFF

characters sent by the computer and simultaneously transmit it to the remote end.
XON/XOFF flow control should be enabled for this. To set the modem for pass-through
XON/XOFF flow control, use the command:
AT &K5 <return>
Hardware Flow Control
When Hardware flow control is enabled, the modem uses the RTS and CTS signals to
start and stop data transmission from the local computer. When this flow-control mode is
used, the RTS and CTS pins of the RS232 capable should be connected and the DTE
should be capable of honouring RTS/CTS flow control. To set the modem for RTS/CTS
flow control, use the command:
AT &K3 <return>
To disable all flow controls, use the command:
AT &K0 <return>
NOTE: When flow control is enabled in the modem, make sure the
terminal or computer communication software is set for the same type of
flow control.
4-8
Data Compression
To obtain maximum benefit from V.42bis or MNP5 data compression, you must set the
terminal speed to at least twice the modem line speed. e.g., for 9600 bps modem-to-
modem speed, set the terminal speed to 19200 or 38400 bps.

CHAPTER 5
SYNCHRONOUS OPERATION
So far, all the commands you have learned have been for asynchronous operation.
However, the NOMUS GATEWAY modem is also capable of operating in synchronous
mode. This mode is often used in applications where there is serial communication with
main-frame computers, multiplexers, PADs, etc.
In Synchronous Communication, information is transmitted and received in an

uninterrupted flow of bits. Precise timing is used to determine when one character ends
and the next begins. By not having to format each character by adding start, stop and
parity bits, more actual data can be transmitted in a given period of time.
In Synchronous Communication, Error Correcting operation is disabled. Thus, the

modem does not perform error detection/correction, data compression or flow control.
Error correction is generally implemented in the communication protocol.
Configuring the Modem for Synchronous Operation

1. Select the source of the synchronous transmit clock. Details are given below.
2. Select which synchronous mode is to be used. Details are given below.
3. Configure other modem/communication parameters as appropriate.
4. Store configuration in non-volatile memory if desired with the AT &W command.
5-1
Chapter 5 Synchronous Operation
The Synchronous Transmit Clock Source
The transmit clock tells the local DTE (terminal equipment) when to transfer the next bit
of data to the modem. The clock always goes to the local DTE equipment on pin 15 of
the EIA RS-232C. The original source of the transmit clock, however, can be any one of
two sources:

Receive
1. Normally, the local DCE (the modem in this case) is the source of the transmit
clock. This is the factory default and it is sent to the local DTE on EIA pin 15. This
clock source can be selected by using the command:
AT &X0 <return>
2. The local DTE (your terminal or computer) can also be the source of the transmit
clock. It will be sent to the modem on EIA pin 24, and it is sent back to the local
DTE on EIA pin 15. This clock source is selected by using the command:
AT &X1 <return>
5-2
3. The remote DCE can also be the source of the transmit clock, called as Slave clock.
Modem generates this transmit clock using the signal received from the remote
modem. The modem sends this clock to the local DTE on pin 15 of EIA RS-232.
This clock source is selected by using the command :
AT &X2 <return>
Please refer the documentation of the local DTE or the synchronous mode
communication software, for information on which transmit clock source to use.
The Synchronous Receive Clock Source
The synchronous mode receive clock is always derived by the modem from the incoming
data/carrier signal and is sent to the local DTE on pin 17 of the EIA RS-232C.
DTR, DSR, DCD and CTS EIA RS-232C signals
DTR (Data Terminal Ready) in synchronous mode confirms to CCITT 108.2 circuit. The
modem hangs up when the DTR signal goes from ON to OFF.
DSR (Data Set Ready) is turned on when the remote modem has answered the call, the
valid connection has been made and an answer tone has been detected.
DCD (Data Carrier Detect) is turned on when a valid data carrier from the remote
modem is detected.
CTS (Clear to Send) follows DCD and is also turned on any time the modem is in the
asynchronous command state.
When CTS, DSR and DCD are all ON, the terminal may begin sending data to the
modem.
5-3
The Three Synchronous Operating Modes
The NOMUS GATEWAY modem offers three different types of synchronous

communications. You select the desired mode with the &M[n] or &Q[n] command. Each
mode is described in detail later in this chapter.

In Mode 1 the modem dials using "AT" commands. However, once the modem connects
to the remote modem, it switches to Synchronous mode communication.
With the modem in Asynchronous mode, you can initiate a call using "AT" commands
or communication software or manually with the Voice/Data switch. After the dialing
sequence, the modem automatically switches to synchronous operation, and after a delay
5-4
determined by value of register S25, checks the state of DTR signal. If DTR is OFF,
modem immediately hangs up and returns to Asynchronous Command State. If DTR is
ON, the modem completes the Synchronous mode connection. The call can be
disconnected by turning OFF the DTR signal. The modem immediately returns to
Asynchronous Command State.
In Synchronous Mode 1, Auto Answer works exactly as in the Asynchronous mode: (1)
register S0 must be greater than 0 and (2) the terminal/computer must be in the On-Line
mode with its DTR signal true. In Auto Answer mode, the modem will automatically
answer after the specified number of rings. Once the connection is established, the
modem switches to Synchronous mode. In Synchronous Mode 1, all Result Codes work
as they usually do while you are in the Asynchronous Command State.
Required Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
1. Your DTE must operate in both synchronous and asynchronous modes using the
same EIA RS-232C port, or your DTE must include both an asynchronous RS-232C
port with which to give commands to the modem to initiate a call, and have a
separate synchronous RS-232C port to undertake data transfer synchronously. After
the connection has been made using the asynchronous port, you would physically re-
connect the modem to the synchronous port.
2. The DTE should be capable of switching the DTR signal to the modem.
Configuring Synchronous Mode 1
To configure the modem for mode 1, follow these steps:
1. Select Synchronous Mode 1 with the following command:
AT &M1 <return> or AT &Q1 <return>
2. If desired, change the setting of register S25 from its default to a preferred setting.
You might need to provide enough time to complete the transition between
asynchronous command mode to synchronous data mode. e.g., to change to a 20-
second delay, use the command:
AT S25=20 <return>
5-5
Synchronous Mode 2 -- Stored Number Dial

In Mode 2, the modem dials a previously stored telephone number in memory location
"0" when it detects an OFF to ON transition of the DTR signal. The connection is
established in synchronous mode.
In this mode, it is advisable to have Command Echo and Result Codes disabled. Since
the modem is normally in Asynchronous mode when DTR is turned OFF, Result Codes
or echoed commands could confuse a synchronous DTE.
You can use the LED indicators on the front panel to tell you when to proceed with your
connection. OH is turned ON when the modem initiates the call and CD is turned ON
after a connection is established. You can begin transmission after OH and CD LEDs are
ON.
In Mode 2, the modem will Auto Answer after it receives a number of rings equal to the
value set in the S0 register, provided S0 does not have a value of 0. For the modem to
answer the incoming call, DTR should be turned ON within 8 seconds after the number
of rings equals the value in the S0 register. Incoming calls can be refused by maintaining
DTR OFF all the time.
To configure the modem for Mode 2, use an asynchronous terminal to program the
modem as follows:
1. Store the phone number with the &Z[n...n] command. e.g., issue the command:
AT &Z = 123-4567 <return>
2. Disable Result Codes and Command Echo with the command:
AT Q1 E0 <return>
3. Select Synchronous Mode 2 with the command:
AT &M2 <return> or AT &Q2 <return>
5-6
Note: After you issue the Q1 and E0 commands, you will not see any
responses on the screen. To avoid confusion you may issue all the
commands in one command line as follows:
AT &Z = 123-4567 Q1 E0 &M2 &W <return>
The modem will not report OK result code since the Q1 command turned OFF
result code reporting.
Synchronous Mode 3 -- Manual Dial Mode

In Mode 3, you dial the call manually from your telephone connected in parallel with the
modem. During the dialing of the phone number, the DTR signal from the DTE
equipment must be OFF.
When you have completed the dialing, turn ON the DTR signal switching the modem to
data mode. The TR LED followed by the OH LED will turn ON at this point. Do not
hang up the phone until DTR is ON. The modem upon receiving a valid carrier, turns
ON the CD LED and the connection is established. The connection is terminated by
turning the DTR signal OFF. The answer mode in Mode 3 works similar to Mode 2.
To configure the modem for Mode 3, you may issue all the commands in one line as
follows:
AT Q1 E0 &M3 &W <return>
The modem will not report OK result code since the Q1 command turned OFF
result code reporting.
5-7
CHAPTER 6
ESTABLISHING CONNECTIONS
This chapter describes how to establish connections with a remote modem using the
NOMUS GATEWAY. Connections can be initiated by issuing "AT" commands from the
computer or the terminal or with the help of the LCD front panel. "AT" commands can
be issued from the terminal mode of the communication software. Often, the
communications software does the job of dialing & answering calls. Connections can be
initiated from the LCD front-panel by selecting the CONNECT menu.
Selecting Leased Line or Dialup Line

The NOMUS GATEWAY is capable of operating on both leased and dialup lines. The
leased line can be of 2 or 4 wires. 4 wire operation is optional. The GATEWAY can
optionally be equipped with the Dial Backup facility. When the NOMUS GATEWAY is
equipped with the Dial Backup option, the dialup line can be used as a backup when the
leased line fails. The modem needs to be configured for the line being used by selecting
the CONNECT menu. Depending on the line being used, the physical connections have
to be made as described in Chapter 2. Installing the Modem.
Selecting 2 Wire Leased Line
To select 2 wire leased line the following command:
AT % D0 <return>
Selecting 4 Wire Leased Line
To select 4 wire leased line issue the following command:
AT % D1 <return>

PSTN Dialup
Configuring for Dial Backup Option for Leased line

Next, you need to determine whether you require Dial Backup mode. In this mode, the
modem switches to PSTN Dial up line automatically when it determines that the Leased
line is not functioning. Also, while using the Dial up line, it checks the leased line
periodically. If the leased line is restored, it switches back to the leased line
automatically. The modem which has been set for Leased Line Originate mode, switches
to Dialup Line Dial mode. It will dial the number stored in Location 0. Thus, you need to
store the telephone number of the remote modem in Location 0 at the time of installation.
Storing of telephone numbers is described later in this chapter. The modem set for
Leased Line Answer mode switches to Dial up Answer mode & waits for an incoming
call on the Dial up line.
NOTE: Your modem may not have Dial Backup facility. This is an
option which is installed at the factory, depending on you order.

Selecting Dial Backup Off/On
To select Dialbackup originate mode, issue the following command:
AT % B1 <return>
To select Dialbackup asnwer mode, issue the following command:

AT % B2 <return>
To disable Dialbackup, issue the following command:

Dialing another Modem with "AT" Commands

After you are in terminal mode, you can instruct the modem to dial a remote modem with
the D command followed by the phone number. You can also include dial string
modifiers in your command line to give the modem additional instructions. Refer to
Chapter 6, AT Commands for a complete list of dial modifiers. The following is a partial
list of dial modifiers available:
P Pulse dial
T Tone dial
, Pause
W Wait for dial tone
; Return to Command State after dialing
S=n Dial the phone number stored in memory location n
6-4
Simple Dialing
To dial a remote modem from an ordinary telephone, enter the dialing command
followed by the phone number as follows:
AT D 555-1234 <return>
You will hear the modem dialing and the remote telephone ringing. If the remote modem
answers the call, the two modems send high-pitched carrier tones to one another which
set the transmission speed and establish the data connection. This process is called hand-
shaking.
If the call is answered, you will see the message CONNECT xxxx on your screen where
xxxx indicates the speed of connection. If the other phone line is busy, you will see NO
CARRIER or BUSY. If the other modem does not answer, you will see NO CARRIER.
After you see one of the CONNECT messages, you can immediately begin transmitting
and receiving data. This may mean sending a message to the person on the other end,
sending or receiving files, logging on to an information service, or any other data
communication task you wish to perform.
Dialing from a PABX System
When you dial from a PABX phone, you typically must instruct the modem to dial a
number for an outside line, to wait for a dial tone, and then to dial the telephone number
of the remote modem. A typical command line might look like this:
AT D 9,555-1234 <return>
Here, the modem dials 9 for an outside line, pauses to wait for a dial tone (the comma in
the command line causes the pause), and then dials the number.
By default, the comma causes a two second pause. However, you can create a longer or
shorter pause by changing register S8 (see Chapter 7). You can also create a longer pause
by including several commas in a row in the command line. If there is no dial tone by the
time the pause ends, the modem will go ahead and dial the number anyway, but, of
course, the connection will not be successful.
6-5
Another way to dial would be to insert a W in the command line to instruct the modem to
wait for a specific maximum amount of time for a dial tone. The command line would
look like this:
AT D 9 W 555-1234 <return>
Here the modem dials 9 for an outside line and then waits for a dial tone (the default time
is 30 seconds, but you can change this with register S7). If no dial tone is received in the
set time, the modem hangs up.
Returning to Command State After Dialing
Occasionally you may want the modem to dial a number and then to return to Command
State for additional commands before establishing a data connection. You will find this
feature useful when dialing an electronic service such as telephone banking. You can dial
the bank number. Then after the call is answered, you can enter your access code.
To cause the modem to return to Command State after dialing, include a ; (semicolon) at
end of the command. e.g., to dial a bank for electronic banking, type the command:
AT D 555-1234; <return>
Here, the modem dials the number. If the remote modem answers, you see the OK Result
Code, and can enter additional commands. e.g., to instruct the modem to dial your access
code or account number, you could enter the second command line as follows:
AT D 12345678 <return>
If the connection is successful, you will see the CONNECT xxxx Result Code on your
screen where xxxx indicates speed of connection and you will be ready to transmit or
receive information.
6-6
Hanging Up
If you are using a communications program, use the "hang up" or "disconnect" command
in the program to discontinue the call. Another method used with terminals and with
computers in the "dumb terminal mode" is to return to Command State by typing "+++"
(see "Giving Commands During the Data Connection," below). Then type the "hang-up"
command as follows:
AT H <return>
________________

|<Command Issued>|
|________________|
Storing a Phone Number
The modem can store 4 telephone numbers of upto 40 digits and dial them with a single
dial command. This feature is useful for connecting to frequently called remote modems
without dialing the digits individually.
You store the phone number with the following command:
AT &Z[m]=[n...n] <return>
where, m is the memory location "0" to "3", and [n...n] is the phone number dial string.
e.g., the command to store phone number 555-1234 in memory location "2" would be:
AT &Z2=W 555-1234 <return>
The dial modifier W tells the modem to wait for a dial tone before dialing. Once stored,
the number is retained in the modem's memory until you change it. The phone number
remains stored even when power to the modem is turned OFF.
6-7
Dialing a Stored Phone Number
Dial a previously stored phone number with the command:

AT D S = [m] <return>
The S can appear anywhere in the dialing command. e.g.,
AT D , S=1 <return>
The "comma" forces the modem to pause for a set time length and then dials a number
previously stored in memory "1".
NOTE: Do not confuse the S dial modifier with the S command used to
read or change S-Registers.

Answering A Call
If you are in terminal mode, you will see the message RING on your screen while your
telephone is ringing. You can instruct the modem to answer the call by the command:
AT A <return>
The modem will answer the call and send a high-pitched carrier tone to the modem on
the other end. Then the two modems will handshake. After hand-shaking, you will see
one of the CONNECT result codes on your screen.
6-8
Auto Answer
The Auto Answer mode provides that if your computer is ON and your software is
loaded, the modem will automatically answer the call. You can enable Auto-Answer
mode by setting register S0 to 1 or greater. Your modem is not factory set for Auto-
Answer.
NOTE: For modem to answer a call, DTR signal from DTE should be
true or forced ON by the &D0 command. Thus if &D0 command is not
issued , the modem will not answer when the DTE is powered off or not
in terminal mode.
Selecting the Number of Rings
You can select the number of rings at which the modem Auto-Answers by setting
register S0. For example, to instruct the modem to answer after 3 rings, type the
following command:
AT S0=3 <return> or AT S0=3 &W <return>

Disabling Auto-Answer
You can disable Auto-Answer by setting register S0 to 0. If you are using

communication software, and it is programmed to Auto-Answer, it will do so regardless
of the modem's settings.
Giving Commands During Data Connection

The modem has two operational states: Command State and Data (Online) State. When
you first turn your modem ON, it is in Command State and you can type commands from
your computer or terminal. However, once you make a connection with another modem
and start passing information over the telephone line, you are in the Data (Online) State
and can no longer type commands. If your connection with the other modem is broken
for any reason, you will automatically return to Command State so that you can issue
new commands. However, you may want to return to Command State temporarily
without losing your data connection (e.g., to change a communication parameter). The
modem has a special Escape Code for this. To return to Command State during a data
connection, wait for one second of inactivity, and then quickly type +++. After one
second of inactivity, you will see OK on the screen. You are in Command State and can
issue commands, but you have not lost your data connection. When you are in the
Command State and want to go Online, type the following:
AT O <return>
You will see CONNECT xxxx on the screen where xxxx indicates speed of connection
and your data connection will continue.
6 - 10
Switching Between Voice And Data

Switching From Voice to Data
Switching from voice conversation to the modem's Data State gives you an opportunity
to call the other party to discuss communication parameters, file transfer, or other points
necessary for successful data communication. To switch from a voice conversation to a
data connection, both you and the other party must have your terminals ON, or your
computers in terminal mode. You can make the initial call either by dialing your
telephone manually or by letting the modem dial for you. When you have completed
your voice conversation and want to switch to a data connection, type the command:
AT D <return>
This tells your modem to be the originate modem. At about the same time, the other
party, types the command:
AT A <return>
This instructs the remote modem to be the answer modem. (It does not matter which
party types the AT A command and which one types the AT D command.) Both should
then hang up their telephones. You will hear the modems handshake and see the Result
Code CONNECT on your screen.
Switching From Data to Voice
To switch from data to voice connection, both parties should pick up their phone
handsets, issue the Escape command +++, get the message OK from the modem, and
issue command AT H0. You can now use the phone line for Voice conversation. Both
modems will hang up immediately.
6 - 11
Setting of Line Speed

The line speed can be set with the +MS command. Refer also to the %E command. The
+MS command has 4 parameters and the format of the command is as follows:
AT +MS = ModPrtcl, Auto, MinSpeed, MaxSpeed <return>
where
ModPrtcl Selects the Modulation Protocol to be used. The values supported are:
11 CCITT V.34 for speeds from 2400 to 33600 bps
10 CCITT V.32bis fro speeds from 4800 to 14400 bps
9 CCITT V.32 for 4800 and 9600 bps
2 CCITT V.22bis for 1200 and 2400 bps
1 CCITT V.22 for 1200 bps
0 CCITT V.21 for 0-300 bps
Auto Selects whether the modem Automatically negotiates with the remote
modem for connectiion speed and protocol. The values supported are:
1 Auto On. Negotiates with remote modem for speed of connection.
0 Automode Off. Attempts connection at specified speeeds only.
MinSpeed Selects the Minimum speed the modem will connect at. The values
supported are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12000, 14400,
16800, 19200, 21600, 24000, 26400, 28800, 31200, 33600
If a value for minimum speed is chosen whch is higer then the highest
speed supported by the Modulation Protocol, then the modem selects the
highest speed supported by the Modulation Protocol chosen.
MaxSpeed Selects the Maximum speed the modem will connect at. The values
supported are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12000, 14400,
16800, 19200, 21600, 24000, 26400, 28800, 31200, 33600
If a value for maximum speed is chosen whch is lower then the lowest
speed supported by the Modulation Protocol, then the modem selects the
lowest speed supported by the Modulation Protocol chosen.
6 - 12
Example: To select V.34 Modulation protocol, with automode On, but restricting
the speeds beween 14400 and 19200 bps, issue the command:
AT +MS=11, 1, 14400, 19200

CHAPTER 7
TROUBLESHOOTING
Your communications setup is composed of many parts including your computer,

terminal or printer, your modem, RS-232C serial cable, telephone cords, communication
software, and the telephone line network itself. Any one of these components can have
problems that interfere with your communication. The NOMUS GATEWAY modem
comes with tests built in to help you isolate problems you might encounter.
Power On Test
If you are troubleshooting the modem, the first step is to make sure the installation of the
modem and all its connections are as described in Chapter 2. Ensure that the LEDs of the
modem are as described in Chapter 2.
Echo Test
Once the LEDs are checked to be all right, the next step is to verify that the modem is
receiving commands and echoing and executing them properly. To do this refer to
Chapter 3 regarding "AT" commands. Issue any command to the modem and verify that
you get an acknowledgment in return. e.g.,
AT E1 Q0 <return> ---> This is a command issued by you.

OK ---> Acknowledgment from the modem.
If you do not get a proper response from the modem for this test or the Power On test,
check the settings of the modem and then recheck your installation.
7-1
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting
Online Tests
The following tests involve modulation and demodulation. So, they are referred to as
Online Tests. Running these tests makes it easier to determine if the problem is with the
modem, or with another part of the communications system.
The modem comes with an internal analog loopback test that tests the modem's transmit
and receive circuitry while isolating the modem from the telephone line. The modem
also provides the sophisticated local and remote digital loopback tests that test the
functioning of the telecommunication link and the local and remote modems. Also
available, are "self-test" versions of the local analog and remote digital loopback tests.
These tests generate their own patterns of characters and automatically report number of
errors detected during the test.
If the modem fails the local analog loopback or another of these tests, refer to Chapter 8.
If the modem passes these tests, but you are still not able to identify the cause of the
problem, your local dealer or Nomus Comm-Systems Technical Support may be able to
suggest additional diagnostic steps for you to take.
Register S18 - Test Timer
Any of the following tests can be started and stopped manually, or they can be halted at
the end of a predetermined period of time. Register S18 is the Test Timer register, and
can be set from 0 to 255 seconds. Register S18's default setting is 0 (timer disabled).
While this feature can be used with all the tests, you will find it most useful with Local
Analog Loopback Self-Test and Remote Digital Loopback Self-Test. Examples of S18
test timer use will be found in the descriptions of these two test procedures. Also refer to
Chapter 8, Setting S-Registers.
Using Asynchronous Mode For Testing
All of the tests described in this chapter must be run with the modem in its
Asynchronous Normal mode (AT&Q6) or Asynchronous Direct mode (AT&Q0),
connected to either an asynchronous terminal or computer. When the Test mode is to be
invoked using a command (e.g., AT&T1), the Terminal Speed should be the same as the
desired speed of connection. For the sake of convenience the tests have been described
by setting the modem into Asynchronous Normal mode.
7-2
Granting/Denying RDL Test Requests
By factory default, the modem grants a remote modem's request to perform a remote
digital loopback test. The following commands can be used to control the granting or
denying of remote digital loopback tests:
AT &T4 <return> Grant request for remote digital loopback test –

factory default.
AT &T5 <return> Deny request for remote digital loopback test.
AT &T5&W <return> Deny request for remote digital loopback test and
save this in the modem's non-volatile memory.
These tests can be initiated with the AT commands or from the Front Panel. Refer to
Appendix C for AT commands related to these tests. Procedures for initiating these tests
from the Front Panel are described below.
Initiating Tests from the Front-panel

Analog & Digital loop-back tests can be initiated from the modem front panel by
selecting the TEST menu.

Running The Analog Loopback Test

The Analog Loopback Test (CCITT V.54 Loop 3) is an excellent method of diagnosing
modem problems versus problems else where in the communications system. This test
exercises almost the entire modem circuitry. In this test, the modem transmits the
characters you type, except that the modem intercepts them just before they would go
onto the telephone line, and "loops" them back through its receive circuitry. The steps to
be followed are:
1. Initiate this test by giving the AT &Q6 &T1 command or by selecting the
Analog Loop Test in the TEST MENU.
2. The CD LED will turn ON, MR LED will turn OFF and the CONNECT message
will be displayed on the the screen or the <Test Passed> message will be
displayed on the LCD.
3. Test the modem by typing characters on the keyboard. If the modem is working
properly, the screen will display the exact characters you type.
4. To terminate the test go to command mode and give the AT &T0 command or
select the End Test option in the TEST MENU.
5. The CD LED will turn OFF, MR LED will turn ON and OK will be displayed on
the the screen or the <Test Ended> message will be displayed on the LCD.
Running The Local Analog Loopback Self-Test

This test is equivalent to the analog loop-back test described above except that (a) the
modem generates the test pattern, (b) when the test is terminated, the modem reports the
number of errors detected, and (c) the test can be terminated either manually or under
control of the test timer register S18. The steps to be followed are:
1. Initiate this test by giving the AT &Q6 &T8 S18=0 (or any value)
command or by selecting the ALB Self Test in the TEST MENU.
7-5
2. The CD LED will turn ON, MR LED will turn OFF and the CONNECT message
will be displayed on the the screen or the <Test Passed> message will be
displayed on the LCD.
3. The modem will transmit a test pattern to itself & count the number of errors.
4. To terminate the test give the AT &T0 command or select the End Test option in
the TEST MENU.
5. The CD LED will turn OFF, MR LED will turn ON and number of errors
followed by OK will be displayed on the the screen or the <Bit Errors=nnn>
message will be displayed on the LCD.
Running The Local Digital Loopback Test

This test uses the local modem to test the remote modem and telephone network. You
must be in contact with the operator of the remote modem, preferably by separate
telephone line. The modem will be put into a "loopback" mode so that everything the
remote modem transmits will be echoed (retransmitted) back to the remote modem. To
execute the local digital loopback test, perform the following steps:
1. Make a connection with the remote modem in Async Normal Mode.
2. Initiate this test by going to command mode and giving the AT &T3 command or
by selecting the Local Digtl Loop in the TEST MENU.
3. The CD LED will turn ON, MR LED of both local and remote modem will turn
OFF and OK will be displayed on the the screen or the <Test Passed> message
will be displayed on the LCD.
4. Now, the operator at the remote modem must type characters to test the remote
modem and the telephone network. If the remote modem and network is working
properly, his screen will display the exact characters he types.

the TEST MENU.
the the screen or the <Test Ended> message will be displayed on the LCD. The
modems will be again connected in Async Normal Mode.
Running The Remote Digital Loopback Test

The Remote Digital Loopback Test (CCITT V.54 Loop 2) uses the remote modem to test
the modem and telephone network. The test is initiated automatically from the local
modem. You need not be in contact with the operator of the remote modem. The remote
modem will be put into a "loopback" mode so that everything you transmit will be
automatically echoed (retransmitted) back to you.
The remote modem must be capable of executing this test (not all are). It may, by
default, grant digital loopback testing, or it may have to be configured with an
appropriate command. (NOMUS modems do, by default, grant digital loopback test.)
The steps to be followed are:
2. Initiate this test by going to command mode and giving the AT &T6 command or
by selecting the RDLB Test in the TEST MENU.
OFF and CONNECT message will be displayed on the the screen or the <Test
Passed> message will be displayed on the LCD.
4. Any characters that you type to the remote modem will be looped back and you
will see them on the screen.
5. To terminate the test go to command mode and give the AT &T0 command or
select the End Test option in the TEST MENU.
7-7
the the screen or the <Test Ended> message will be displayed on the LCD. The
modems will be again connected in Async Normal Mode.
Running The Remote Digital Loopback Self-Test

This test is equivalent to the remote digital loop-back test described above except that (a)
the local modem generates the test pattern, (b) when the test is terminated, the local
modem reports the number of errors detected by both modems, and (c) the test can be
terminated either manually or under control of the test timer register S18 in the local
modem.The steps to be followed are:
2. Initiate this test by going to command mode and giving the AT &T7 S18=0
(or any value) command or by selecting the RDLB Self Test in the TEST
MENU.
OFF and CONNECT message will be displayed on the the screen or the <Test
Passed> message will be displayed on the LCD.
4. The modem will automatically transmit a test pattern to the remote modem which
will be looped back by the remote modem. The local modem will keep a count of
the received errors.
the TEST MENU.
6. The CD LED will turn OFF, MR LED will turn ON and number of errors
followed by OK will be displayed on the the screen or the <Bit Errors=nnn>
message will be displayed on the LCD. The modems will be again connected in
Async Normal Mode.

RS233C Test Initiation

NOMUS GATEWAY supports CCITT V.54 procedure for testing modems and
communication channel. Under these specifications, Analog Loopback (Loop 3) and
Remote Digital Loopback (Loop 2) can be invoked by signals on the RS-232C port. The
following paragraphs describe the procedure for initiating the tests.
Local Analog Loopback (ALB) - LOOP 3
This test can be invoked by activating CCITT circuit 141 on Pin 18 of the DB-25
connector. This test will not works if the modem is already connected. Also, the modem
should be set for either &Q0 or &Q6 mode. During the test, CD LED turns ON, and any
characters sent to the modem will be looped back by it. The test in progress signal
(CCITT circuit 142) is provided on Pin 25 of the DB-25 connector. The modem performs
the test as long as the signal is active.
Remote Digital Loopback (RDLB) - LOOP 2
This test can be invoked by activating CCITT circuit 140 on Pin 21 of the DB-25
connector. The remote modem should be ON and the data link between modems already
established in either &Q0 or &Q6 mode. During the test, CD LED remains ON any
characters sent to the modem will be looped back by the remote modem. The test in
progress signal (CCITT ckt 142) is provided on Pin 25 of DB-25 connector. The modem
performs the test as long as the signal is active.

Chapter 8 Where to Go For Help
If You Have A Problem

If your modem is not functioning properly, follow these steps:
1. Do your best to isolate the cause of the problem. A communication system

consists of many items, such as:
a. Your computer or terminal.

b. Your computer's serial port card.
c. Your modem and RS-232C cable.
d. Your computer's communication software.
e. The telephone equipment.
f. A remote computer and its modem.
h. The remote computer's communication software.
i. The remote computer's telephone equipment.
j. The telephone network connecting both parties. This can be as simple as
wiring in your building, or as complicated as microwave, satellite, and
fiber optic links between two distant locations.
Substitute another standalone modem for the suspected problem modem.

Substitute another RS-232C serial cable. Call in or out on a different phone line.
Try to establish communication with different parties. Install your modem on
another computer or terminal.
Use an asynchronous terminal or computer and the modem's Asynchronous mode

analog loopback test (described in Chapter 8) to check out your modem
independently from the telephone network.
Try using a different software communications program. Double check your

software's configuration.
2. Call or write to Nomus Comm-Systems' Technical Support. A Technical Support

Representative will help you confirm whether or not your modem needs factory
repair. The address and phone nos. are:

3. If your modem has to be returned to Nomus Comm-Systems, you will be given a

Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. It must be written on the outside
of the shipping box and on all documentation inside the box.
4. Nomus Comm-Systems will confirm for you if your modem is still covered by a
warranty. If it is not, Nomus will estimate the repair charge. The repair charge
might be different, however, after Nomus Comm-Systems inspects your modem.
If the charge were to be greater than the estimate, or if your modem is later
determined to be out of warranty, Nomus Comm-Systems will contact you for
your approval or instructions.
5. You should provide Nomus Comm-Systems with the following information,

during any phone conversation, in all your correspondence and in writing
accompanying the modem being returned:
a. Model and serial number of your modem.

b. Description of the problem or service you need.
c. Type of computer or terminal you are using.
d. Type of communication software you are using.
e. Your name, company, address, and day-time phone.
f. A copy of delivery challan showing the modem's serial number and date
of purchase. This ensures that you will receive your full warranty.
6. Ship the modem to Nomus Comm-Systems at the above address, freight pre-paid
and with declaration stating:
"Data Modem for repair only. No Commercial Value."
8-3
7. After repairs are complete, Nomus Comm-Systems will ship the modem back to
you freight prepaid by a cost effective method of Nomus Comm-Systems's
choosing. If you prefer another, faster return method, you must notify Nomus
Comm-Systems at the time you request authorization to return the modem. You
must also include a written statement with the modem that you authorize return
shipping by a specific method. If you authorize expedited return shipping, it will
be returned to you freight collect.
8-4
APPENDIX A
EIA RS-232C CABLE WIRING
The NOMUS modem's serial interface design is based on the EIA RS-232C
specifications for Data Communications Equipment (DCE). Almost all terminal and
computer asynchronous serial ports intended for connection to a modem follow the EIA
RS-232C specification for Data Terminal Equipment (DTE).
When you have 25 pin DB25 type connectors on both the modem (DCE) and the
terminal or computer (DTE), you can connect them with a "straight through" EIA RS-
232C serial cable. That is, pin 1 on the DCE end is connected to pin 1 on the DTE end,
and the same follows for each of the other pins.
While IBM PC, PC/XT, and compatible computers have 25 pin connectors for their RS-
232C serial ports, the IBM AT, some AT compatible computers, and some third party
plug-in boards use a 9 pin DB9 connector for their serial port. This is acceptable for
asynchronous use of the modem since you can establish full communication while using
9 or fewer of the EIA RS-232C specified signals. When connecting a 9 pin serial port on
an IBM AT to your modem, you will need a serial cable designed for just that purpose.
They are readily available from your dealer and many computer supply retailers or mail
order suppliers. When using the modem in Synchronous mode, the synchronous
communication board in your computer will include a 25 pin RS-232C connector.
There can be occasions where the above advice is not sufficient to describe the serial
cable you need for your exact hardware configuration. The following detailed description
of the modem's serial interface should allow you or your dealer to construct the serial
cable you require.

RS-232C Signals
In the description below, DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) is the computer or terminal,
DCE (Data Communication Equipment) refers to the modem. The pin numbers refer to
the modem's DB25 connector.
Pin 1 -- Protective Ground (AA)
Protective Ground is connected to the modem's metal case and to Signal Ground (Pin 7).
Pin 2 -- Transmitted Data (BA)
Serial data transmitted from the terminal or computer to the modem.
Pin 3 -- Received Data (BB)
Serial data transmitted from the modem to the terminal or computer.
Pin 4 -- Request To Send (CA)
The RTS (Request to Send) signal indicates the DTE is prepared to send data. In
Synchronous mode, the modem can be programmed to turn ON CTS after RTS is turned
ON in the Online State.
Pin 5 -- Clear To Send (CB)
In Asynchronous mode, the output signal CTS (Clear to Send) is always ON when the
modem is powered ON. In Synchronous mode, CTS is turned ON anytime the modem is
in the Asynchronous Command State or in the Online State with the &R1 command in
effect. When the modem is ready to transmit data in the Online State and the &R0
command is in effect, CTS is turned ON after RTS is turned ON, after a delay
determined by the Register S11.
Pin 6 -- Data Set Ready (CC)
In Asynchronous mode, the output signal DSR (Data Set Ready) is always ON when the
modem is powered ON. If &S1 command is issued, DSR is turned ON only when the
A-3
modem goes off hook. In Synchronous mode, DSR is turned ON when remote modem
has answered the call and answer tone has been detected.
Pin 7 -- Signal Ground (AB)
Signal Ground is the common electrical ground reference for all data and control signals.
It is also connected to Protective Ground (Pin 1).
Pin 8 -- Carrier Detect (CF)
In synchronous mode Carrier Detect is ON when a valid carrier signal from the remote
modem is detected. In asynchronous mode if the &C0 command is given or SW#1-3 and
1-8 are ON then this signal is always ON. If the &C1 command is given or SW#1-3 and
1-8 are OFF then this signal is ON only while valid carrier is detected.
Pin 9 -- +12 Vdc and Pin 10 -- -12 Vdc
For test and configuration purposes, Nomus Comm-Systems provides a +12 Vdc output,
10mA max, on Pin 9 and a -12 Vdc output, 10mA max, on Pin 10.
Pin 15 -- Transmit Signal Timing, DCE (DB)
The output signal Transmit Signal Timing (DCE source) is used in Synchronous mode
only. The modem uses the leading edge of this signal to tell the local terminal or
computer (DTE) to transfer the next bit of data to the local modem on EIA RS-232C pin
2. The source of this signal can be (1) internal, (2) the local DTE terminal or computer,
(3) derived from the incoming remote modem data. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on
Synchronous mode operation.
Pin 17 -- Receive Signal Timing (DD)
The output signal Receive Signal Timing is used in Synchronous mode only. This signal
is derived from the data transmitted by the remote modem to the modem. The modem
uses the leading edge of this signal to tell the local terminal or computer (DTE) to
receive the next bit of data being transferred from the local modem to the DTE
equipment on EIA RS-232C pin 3. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on Synchronous mode
operation.
A-4
Pin 18 -- Analog Loopback Control
This control signal from the DTE instructs the modem to perform an Analog Loopback
test. If successful, the modem turns Test Mode Indicator pin 25 high. The modem will
not perform this test if already off-hook.
Pin 20 -- Data Terminal Ready (CD)
This signal indicates to the modem that the data terminal is ready to go online. In
synchronous modes 2/3, the modem initiates a call when this signal changes from OFF to
ON. In all modes no call is initiated or answered when this signal is OFF. However in
asynchronous mode a call can be initiated or answered if the &D0 command is in effect
or SW#1-4 and 1-8 are ON even if this signal is OFF. The modem disconnects the call
when this signal changes from ON to OFF.
Pin 21 -- Remote Digital Loopback Control
This control signal from the DTE instructs modem to perform a Remote Digital
Loopback test. If successful, modem turns the Test Mode Indicator pin 25 high. The
modem will not perform this test if not already connected to remote modem.
Pin 22 -- Ring Indicator (CE)
The output signal RI (Ring Indicator) is true when a ring signal is present on the phone
line.
Pin 24 -- Transmit Signal Timing, DTE (DA)
The input signal Transmit Signal Timing (DTE source) is used in Synchronous mode
only. Its leading edge can be used by the local terminal or computer (DTE) to tell the
local modem to send the next bit of data, currently on pin 2, to the remote modem. Refer
to Chapter 5 for details on Synchronous mode operation.
Pin 25 -- Test Indicator
This output signal from the modem, when high, indicates that the modem is in a test
mode.
A-5
APPENDIX B

AT+MS = <carrier>, <automode>, <min_tx_rate>, <max_tx_rate>, <min_rx_rate>,

Where: Possible <carrier>, <min_tx_rate>, <max_tx_rate>, <min_rx_rate>, and

e.g., AT + MS = V34,1,2400,21600,2400,21600 <return>

Modulation <carrier> Possible <min_rx_rate>, <max_rx_rate>,

<carrier> Specifies the preferred modem carrier (modulation standard).

<automode> Enables or disables automatic modulation negotiation. When

n=0. Set Automode Disabled

The modem response will be

e.g.: +MS: V90,1,300,33600,300,336000 (For default values)

The modem response will be

+MS: (< carrier> range), (<automode> range), (<min_tx_rate> range),

e.g: +MS: (B103,B212,V21,V22,V22B,V23C,V32,V32B,V34), (0,1), (300-
