| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
The Answer entry specifies the AT command that is sent to the modem to answer a data call. |
|
The CompatibilityFlags entry directs Unimodem to lower DTR and to then wait 50 ms before closing the communications port. |
|
The DCB entry locks the modem's port speed to a specific default. It also controls XON/XOFF software flow-control settings.
Note
The ProCalc tool, which is included in the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK), should be used to create this entry. For more information about ProCalc, see Using ProCalc. For more information about using ProCalc to create this entry, see Locking the Port Speed (DCB). |
|
The Hangup entry specifies the AT command that is used to disconnect a call after Unimodem puts the modem into command mode. |
|
The InactivityScale entry specifies the scale value for InactivityTimeout. The equation for inactivity time-out is as follows: InactivityTimeout * InactivityScale = inactivity time-out in seconds |
|
Use the Init entry to specify the AT commands that are sent to initialize a modem. |
|
The Monitor entry defines the AT command that directs the modem to report all incoming calls. A modem normally reports incoming calls through a RING response. |
|
The Properties entry defines a set of modem properties that are contained in a binary structure. Unimodem uses this modem properties structure to respond to the GetCommProperties function.
Note The ProCalc tool, which is included in the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK), should be used to create this entry. For more information about ProCalc, see Using ProCalc. For more information about using ProCalc to create this entry, see Data Profile.
|
|
The Reset entry specifies the command string that Unimodem sends to the modem to return it to a base configuration that is compatible with communications programs for MS-DOS and Windows operating systems. |
|
Use Responses entries to specify the response strings that Unimodem is programmed to receive from the modem.
Note The ProCalc tool, which is included in the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK), should be used to create this entry. For more information about ProCalc, see Using ProCalc. For more information about using ProCalc to create this entry, see Response State.
