Modem setup for Meridian 1

To Allow Remote Access:

This Procedure is for the US Robotics Sportster family of fax / modems. It has been tested with the 9600, 14400, 28800 and 33600 baud models. These commands will most likely work on other makes of modems but verify the commands and switch settings with the modem documentation before performing this setup procedure.

1. Set all switches at the rear of the modem to the down position.
2. Verify that the power switch is off.
3. Connect the modem to a PC com port using the appropriate RS232 cable.
4. Connect the power transformer to the modem, and turn on the modem power.
5. From Windows 95/98: Start Menu ➤ Programs ➤ Accessories, select HyperTerminal.
6. Setup a new connection to the COM port that the modem is plugged into. Use the defaults that HyperTerminal provides, but set the baud rate to the speed that the modem will use when connected to the Meridian 1 (eg: 9600 baud, 7 data-bits, space-parity, 1 stop-bit).
7. Using either upper case or lower case (not both) type AT and press ENTER. The modem should respond with OK.

Notes:

1. You must access the modem at the same baud rate that the modem will be programmed for in step 11.
   
2. If there is no response from the modem, check all connections and modem power and try again. If there is still no response, type ATE1 And press enter. This allows the typed words to echo to the screen.
8. Type AT&F and press ENTER. This sets the factory configuration.
9. Type AT&FE0Q1&C1&D0&K0&M0&N6TS0=1&W and press ENTER.

Note: To use a different baud rate, replace the &N6 with the required baud rate shown in Modem AT commands.

10. Turn off the modem and disconnect the power and RS232 cable.
11. Set the switches at the back of the modem to 5 & 8 up, all others down.
12. Connect the modem to a Meridian 1 SDI port and a telephone line. Make a test connection. Be sure that the SDI port is optioned for the same baud rate that the modem was programmed with.

Modem AT commands:

The following are industry standard commands, and will likely work on most modems - however, verify the commands with the modem documentation before performing the modem setup procedure. Precede all commands with AT (or at) for "attention!". Write/save settings with AT&W.
