Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description

MultiModemBA User Guide

1.1 Introduction

Welcome to the world of data communications. You have acquired one of the finest intelligent

desktop data/fax modems available today, the MultiModemII BA series modem, from Multi-Tech

Systems. This User Guide covers various models within the BA series, and unless otherwise noted,

all content should be considered relevant to all models.

Your MultiModem provides data communication at the following rates:

33,600 - 14,400 bps (Enhanced V.34 / V.32bis)

The MultiModem also provides other prevalent data communications standards and includes dial

backup with automatic lease line restoration, adaptive protocol enhancing used in typical Unix® batch

file transfers and support for IBM's AS/400TM and WindowsTM environments.

1.2 How To Use This Manual

The information contained in each chapter and appendix is as follows:

Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description

This chapter begins with a short introduction, followed by a guide (which you are now reading) to the

use of this manual. There is a discussion about what components you can expect in your modem

package. We then provide a more detailed description of the modem, including the modem’s

technical specifications. Chapter 1 includes sections covering power, LED indicators and a brief

summary of PC board controls. (Chapter 9 covers switch settings more thoroughly.)

Chapter 2 - Installation and Connection

Chapter 2 covers the procedure for connecting the modem to your computer and to the phone line.

Details are given, supported by illustrations on the modem's back panel connections as a guide to

install your modem to the point of operation. In addition, this chapter describes the installation of

PhoneTools, the communications software included with your modem.

Chapter 3 - Software Configuration and Modem Basics

Chapter 3 documents communication software configuration recommended specifically for the

MultiModem. Other issues covered include setting up initialization strings, changing default

parameters, configuring software for the remote system and file transfer protocols.

Chapter 4 - AT Command Mode Operation

Chapter 4 may be the most important chapter of this manual. It begins with an introduction and

discussion on Command Mode fundamentals. A flow chart is provided to illustrate Command Mode

and On-Line Mode operation and the methods used in each mode. Next, there is a summary of the

modem’s commands and responses. We then go into a detailed explanation of each modem

command, providing examples where applicable.

Chapter 5 - S-Registers

Chapter 5 covers the modem's S-Registers, which enable the user to establish, read, and modify

various modem options. All of the S-Registers are charted and explained, followed by instructions on

accessing the S-Registers and reading or changing their values.

Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description

Chapter 6 - Callback and Remote Configuration

Chapter 6 documents instructions on how to operate the modem's Callback and Remote

Configuration features; and the usage of LOGIN Passwords, Set-Up Passwords and Remote Escape

Characters as network management tools.

Chapter 7 - DIP-Switches

Chapter 7 covers the modem’s printed-circuit board options. Sixteen DIP-Switch settings and the

modem's speaker volume control are explained in detail, including all default settings.

Chapter 8- Warranty, Service & Technical Support

Chapter 8 provides statements on your five-year warranty, instructions for getting modems serviced

at the factory and the procedure for downloading firmware upgrades via FlashROM.

Appendixes

There are also several appendices at the end of this manual, most of which repeat information

contained in the chapters, but in a more condensed form. These appendices can be used as a quick

reference.

Appendix A - Upgrading Your Modem’s Firmware

Appendix B - Troubleshooting

Appendix C - AT Command Summary

Appendix D - V.25bis Operation

Appendix E - Cabling Diagrams

Appendix F - Regulatory Information

1.3 Modem Features

The MultiModem BA Series modem connections can be made on Public Switched Telephone

Networks (

PSTNs

) and/or point-to-point 2-wire telephone type circuits.

Your modem offers interactive automatic dialing, as well as Command Mode option configuration.

You may store up to ten command line/telephone numbers, of up to 60 characters each, in the

modem’s nonvolatile memory. The modem pulse or tone dials, and recognizes dial tones and busy

signals for reliable call-progress detection. The modem can detect AT&T calling card tones. It is

FCC-Registered for connection to telephone networks without any Data Access Arrangements

(DAA’s).

Your modem also features Callback Security to protect networks from unauthorized use, and to

manage phone line costs. By using the modem’s phone number and password directory, a host site

can, upon receipt of a call, callback to a remote site at a predetermined number.

Remote Configuration permits you to assist users at remote sites, saving you the time and trouble of

site visits and preventing misinterpretation of configuration instructions.

MultiModemBA User Guide

1.3.1 2834 Series Features

Your MT2834BA modem meets the proposed

Enhanced V.34

ITU standard for data signalling rates

as high as 33.6/31.2K bps in full duplex mode.

Enhanced

V.34 is an extension of V.32/V.32bis/V34

standards, and supports and is compatible with those features, including EIA extended Automode;

adaptive line probing; automatic symbol rate and carrier frequency during start-up; and retrain and

rate renegotiation (in 2400 bps increments).

The MT2834BA features ITU V.25bis standard for synchronous dialing, ITU V.42 error correction and

V.42bis data compression, providing 100% error-free data transmission. V.42 error correction

incorporates MNP( Classes 3 and 4, and LAP-M. You may select V.42bis data compression for 4-1

throughput, or MNP Class 5 for 2-1 throughput.)

1.4 Fax Features

Your modem meets the ITU V.17 standard for sending and receiving faxes. When linked to a

compatible fax machine or modem, it can transmit faxes at 14,4 K bps. It also meets the ITU’s Group

3 Designation for sending and receiving faxes at 9600 bps; and Group 2 Designation for sending and

receiving faxes at 4800 bps. The modem is also downward-compatible with modems to speeds as

low as 300 bps, so it can send and receive faxes with any fax machine in the world.

transformer supplies low voltage AC to the modem, and plugs into any conventional 115 volt AC, 60

Hz, two-prong power outlet (240 volts AC, 50Hz, .3 Amp for International modems). The power

transformer supplied with the modem is the only one that should be used. Use of any other

transformer could cause damage to the modem. A Power On/Off switch is located on the back of the

modem.
