Installation of KORTEX 56000 PCMCIA Modem
under Windows 95
Installation of Card
Insertion of card in computer
You can connect the modem card to any kind of portable or desktop computer
featuring a slot for PCMCIA V 2.00 cards.
1. Slide the card into a PCMCIA slot. Refer to the manual of your computer if
you are not sure which is the PCMCIA slot.
2. Make sure the card engages properly with the connector. On most laptops
and notebooks, you will hear a beep to indicate that the card is correctly in
place.
Connection of cable
Connect the supplied cable between the PCMCIA modem card and the
telephone jack. One end of the cable has a flat connector for joining to the
PCMCIA card, the other end can be joined to a national adapter.

6. Back in the terminal window, you can enter commands for the
modem. Key in the AT <Enter>. You should receive the response
“OK”. If nothing appears, this indicates that the modem does not
receive the interruption IRQ. Use the control panel of the modem
under Windows 95 to change the IRQ. (Refer to the Windows 95
or 98 manual if necessary.)

Appendix 1 AT Commands set
AT commands are issued to the modem to control the modem's operation and
software configuration.
AT commands can only be entered while the modem is in command mode.
The format for entering AT commands is:
TYPE: ATXn
where X is the AT command, and n is the specific value for that command.
PRESS: Enter
Any command issued is acknowledged with a response in either text or
numeric values known as result codes. For multiple AT commands in the same
command line, the commands are executed in the order received from the
DTE. Should execution of a command result in an error, or a character be not
recognised as a valid command, execution is terminated, the remainder of the
command line is ignored, and the ERROR result code is issued. Otherwise, if
all commands execute correctly, only the result code associated with the last
command shall be issue; result codes for preceding commands are suppressed.
In the following listing, all commands and command-values accepted by the
modem are shown; any entries other than those shown cause the ERROR
result code.
+++ Escape sequence
The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line
command mode. While in on-line command mode, you may communicate
directly to your modem using AT commands. Once you are finished, you may
return to data mode using the ATO command.

KORTEX 56000 PCMCIA
20
A pause, the length which is set by the Escape Guard Time (S12), must be
used after an escape sequence is issued. This pause prevents the modem from
interpreting the escape sequence as data. The value of the escape sequence
character may be changed using Register S2.
A/ Repeat Last Command
This command repeats the last command string entered. Do not precede this
command with an AT prefix or conclude it by pressing Enter.
A Answer Command
This command instructs the modem to go off-hook and answer an incoming
call.
Bn Communication Standard Setting
This command determines CCITT vs. Bell standard.
B0: Selects CCITT V.22 mode when the modem is at 1200 bits/s.
B1: Selects Bell 212A when the modem is at 1200 bits/s (default).
B2: Unselects V23 reverse channel ( same as B3).
B3: Unselects V23 reverse channel ( same as B2).
B15: Selects V.21 when the modem is at 300 bits/s.
B16: Selects Bell 103J when the modem is at 300 bits/s (default).
Result Codes:
OK n = 0, 1, 15, 16
ERROR Otherwise
Cn Carrier Control
The modem will accept the C1 command without error in order to ensure
backward compatibility with communications software that issues the C1
command. However, this modem does not support the C0 command. The C0
