7 MT2834BA/BL-Series Intelligent Data/Fax Modem Quick Start Guide Loading PhoneTools Software Communication programs designed for Windows normally do not need to be manually configured since they use the Plug and Play configuration. NT4.0 uses an Add Modem wizard which is a step-bystep modem setup program. See the PhoneTools documentation on the MT2834BA/BL CD for installation and configuration directions. Is Your Modem Ready for Use? As soon as you have connected power to the modem, if you are an experienced modem user, you may simply want to check your modem s settings for data compression, error correction, and so on. You may find that you can get moving quite quickly if you just issue an ATL5, ATL6 and an ATL7 command. These commands list how your modem is currently configured. If you come across a setting you re unsure of, refer to Chapters 5 and 6 of the User Guide for AT command and S-Register explanations and defaults. If you re a novice, refer to Chapter 3 of the User Guide to learn about the basics of data communications. 7
