[Gerard McNeill]

Hi,

Would anyone have the procedure on configuring a Multitech Model MT1932ZDX1 modem on an A-class HP-Ux box version 11.0?

As always all replies appreciated.

According to a representative from Multitech, the following parameters
will work with all Multitech modems on HP-UX:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Modem should be configured with the following parameters:

&F - Set factory defaults
$BA1 - Modem speed on RS-232 line & computer are the same
&E1 - Auto-Reliable mode


&E7 - Modem responds to XON/XOFF and passes them through
&E14 - Data Compression Disabled
&D3 - Reset and hang-up on DTR transition
&Q1 - Standard AT Result Codes
X0 - Basic Result codes
* &C1 - DCD tracks state of data carrier from remote
* S0=1 - enable auto answer
&W - save changes to non-volatile memory

* indicates this setting is default

Connect a terminal to the modem or use a PC to set up modem.

Hit AT several times until it answers OK.
(If you do not get an ok, check your cable, and watch the
TD & RD lights. They should flicker. Some modems insist
on upper case.)


Enter the "AT" commands like this:
AT &F $B1 [return] (multiple commands or a single command
AT &C1 [return] may be given on each line)

It should answer OK each time.

Once you have entered all the parameters, do one last
AT &W [return] to save the parameters.

To be safe, cycle power on the modem.

Your modem is now setup!

The easiest is to use SAM. The cable will be a standard PC-modem cable (straight thru). SAM will create the necessary device files for the modem. You can then use kermit to connect and type the at command...if it echoes back OK then all is well. For dial-out, that's all you need to do. For dial-in, you'll need to setup the Dialers and Devices files in /etc/uucp and the gettydefs file in /etc. Be sure to replace the obsolete CS7 and PARENB with CS8.

Hi,

I was attempting to edit my modem device and i am getting the following error -


smsc1:root> cd /dev
smsc1:root> kermit -l /dev/yyd0p2
Warning: terminal type unknown: ""
Fullscreen file transfer display disabled.
Executing /usr/share/lib/kermit/ckermit.ini for UNIX...
Sorry, terminal type unknown: ""
Good Evening.

?can't open device
smsc1:root> ll /dev/ttyd0p2
crw--w---- 1 root tty 0x000206 Apr 10 16:13 /dev/ttyd0p2
smsc1:root>

Why is this?? - this is urgent as modem needs
configuring asap.
