Table B-6 Courier V.Everything RSC Settings

GUI Setting 

Configuration Variable Setting 

Serial Port Settings 

 

Baud Rate: 9600 

Enable hardware handshaking 

 

 

serial_baud 9600

serial_hw_handshake true

Alert Settings->Pager->Pager 1->Advanced 

 

Baud Rate: 9600 

Modem Init. String: E1&B1&M0&K0&N6

 

 

page_baud1 9600

page_init1 E1&B1&M0&K0&N6

Alert Settings->Pager->Pager 2->Advanced 

 

Baud Rate: 9600 

Modem Init. String: E1&B1&M0&K0&N6

 

 

page_baud2 9600

page_init2 E1&B1&M0&K0&N6

The string E1 turns echo on, the string &B1 sets fixed serial port baud rate, the string &M0 disables error correction, the string &K0 disables data compression, and the string &N6 sets baud rate to 9600.

To use a baud rate other than 9600, change the baud rate for pager 1 or 2, and also use the corresponding AT command in the modem initialization string:

To check that these settings are correct, use the rscadm show command.

Modify Modem Settings

Use the rscadm modem_setup command to enter the following AT commands:


# rscadm modem_setup
OK
ATZ (Reset modem)
OK
ATE1 (Turn echo on for this session)
OK
AT&N6 (Set serial port baud rate to 9600)
OK
AT&R1 (Turn off RTS flow control)
OK
ATS13=1 (Set S-register 13 to 1; reset modem when DTR drops)
OK
AT&B1 (Set serial port to fixed rate)
OK
AT&W (Store current settings to modem NVRAM)
OK

After executing these AT commands, you can verify the modem settings in NVRAM by using the ATI5 command:

After confirming settings, turn the modem off, reset RSC using the GUI or the resetrsc shell command, and then turn the modem on again.
