External modems
The following section assumes that you are using one of the recommended
external modems. However, any locally obtained, type-approved external modem
should work. Contact your Avaya representative for more information.
Recommended modems include:
‘‘Paradyne COMSPHERE 3715’’
‘‘Paradyne COMSPHERE 3810 Plus and 3811 Plus’’
‘‘Paradyne COMSPHERE 3910’’
‘‘U.S. Robotics modems’’ (various models)
‘‘Multi-Tech MT5634ZBA-USB’’ (for an S8300/G700 configuration)
Hardware required when configuring
modems
To configure many modems, you use the Hayes-compatible AT command set.
NOTE:
If your modem uses a USB connection, use the USB ports instead of the
serial port. Also, AT commands are not required, so you can skip this
section. Use the factory defaults.
Before you can enter AT configuration commands, you must first connect a
terminal or a PC with a keyboard, monitor, and terminal-emulation software to the
modem.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect one end of an RS-232 cable to an RS-232, serial-communications
port (often called a COM port) on the terminal or PC.
2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the modem.
3. If you are using a PC, start your terminal emulation software.
