Chapter 2 – Hardware Settings
This chapter describes the modem card DIP Switches, toggle switches, berg jumper, and LEDs.
Setting DIP Switches
The MT5600-V92 modem card contains sixteen DIP switches. How a switch operates depends on
whether the modem is in synchronous or asynchronous mode (DIP switch #12).
Factory defaults are set to use the MT5600BR-V92 to dial up a remote installation where the call is
answered automatically. Your communications software may require different settings. For the correct
DIP switch settings, check your software’s documentation.
Before you install modem cards in the card cage, verify that the DIP switch settings are correct for your
application (dial-up or lease line).

OOS (Busy Out) Toggle Switch
The front panel has a two-position out of service (OOS) switch. Use this switch to take the modem off-
hook, which creates a busy condition for the modem.
●Move the OOS toggle switch to BUSY to take the modem out of service. The OOS and OH LEDs light
and incoming calls get a busy signal.
If you suspect a modem is not working, use BUSY to have an optional device, such as a hunt group, roll
the call to the next available modem while you check the busy modem.
Out of Service Test Jumper
When the MT5600BR-V92 is out of service, it is busy to incoming calls. In the Test (default) setting, the
modem drives pin 25 high when the modem is in Test mode. The OOS (optional) setting forces pin 25
high and puts the modem in a busy condition.
Note: Jumper (shorting) plugs do not shipped with the MT5600BR-V92, but Multi-Tech Technical
Support will provide jumper plugs on request.

LED Indicators
The MT5600BR-V92 has ten LED diagnostic indicators.
LED Description
RCV Blinks while receiving data. The RCV LED state matches that of the RCV circuit on Pin 3 of the
RS232C/V.24 interface.
XMT Blinks while transmitting data. The XMT LED state matches that of the XMT circuit on Pin 2
of the RS232C/V.24 interface.
CO
Lights when a valid carrier tone has been detected.
56
Lights when the modem connects using V.92 protocol. Actual connection speed depends on
ISP server capabilities and line conditions.
33.6
Lights when the modem connects at 33,600 bps.*
14.4
Lights when the modem connects at 14,400 bps.*
OH Lights when the phone line is off-hook. This occurs when the modem is dialing, on line,
answering a call, or when the OOS toggle is set to BUSY.
This LED flashes when the modem is pulse dialing in the Command Mode.
DTR When the DTR LED is lit, the modem is permitted to answer an incoming call. When the DTR
LED is off, if the modem is dependent on DTR, it disconnects. The state of this DTR LED
matches that of the DTR circuit on Pin 20 of the RS232C/V.24 interface.
RI
Lights during the ringing interval when incoming call is received.
OOS
When the OOC LED is on, the modem is in an out of service (OOS) state. When the modem is
out of service, it is busy to incoming calls.
* If both the 33.6 and 14.4 LEDs are lit, the modem is operating in the 16,800 to 33,600bps mode.

10 Data/Fax Rack Mounted Modem Card Configuration Guide
Chapter 3 – Software Configuration
Configuring Communications Software
Configure your communications software to work with your modem, your computer, and the remote
system it calls. Most communications programs provide a default initialization string and default settings
for other parameters.
To configure you communications software to work with the MT5600BR-V92 modem:
●Set the modem initialization string.
This is a command sequence that the software uses to configure the modem when loading
communications software or beginning a session.
●Always begin the initialization string with AT.
●Follow the AT with the modem reset command, &F, to ensure that you are starting with a
known state.
●Additional commands depend on the modem’s capabilities and what you want it to do.
●Newer communications programs provide initialization strings when you select your model from
a list. If the MT5600BR-V92 is not listed, select MultiModemII.
Note: Modem capabilities and command implementations vary from modem to modem. If you
use an initialization string intended for another modem, particularly one from another
manufacturer, you might not have access to some modem features.
PC Initialization Strings
We recommend the following initialization string for a MT5600BR-V92 connected to a PC-compatible
computer:
AT &F X4 S0=0 ^M
This string:
●Resets the MT5600BR-V92 to the factory default settings
●Selects extended result codes with NO DIAL TONE and BUSY, and turns off auto-answer.
Notes: If you send commands through communications software, you must end every string with ^M.
This is the ASCII code for the Return key on most keyboards, the default code for carriage
return in the MT5600BR-V92, and most communications programs.
If you send commands to the modem in terminal mode, you must press Return (<CR>) to end
every string.
In the MT5600BR-V92, the carriage return character is defined in S-register S3. If you change
it, also change the carriage return character code used in your communications software.

Chapter 3 — Software Configuration
Data/Fax Rack Mounted Modem Card Configuration Guide 11
Changing Default Parameters
The default values for the other parameters in modem configuration menus rarely need changing. They
typically include the dialing prefix (ATDT for touch-tone service and ATDP for rotary service), the dialing
suffix (^M), the hang-up string (+++) Response then (ATH0^M), and response messages (RING, NO
CARRIER, BUSY, etc.). Communications software with a host mode might include an auto-answer string
(AT S0=1^M).
Macintosh Initialization Strings
●To use RTS/CTS hardware flow control with a Macintosh computer, you must use serial cable wired
for hardware control.
●Macintosh 128 and 512 models cannot use RTS/CTS flow control at all. For these models, use the
following string to turn off the default RTS/CTS hardware flow control, turn on XON/XOFF flow
control, and ignore DTR: AT &F X4 &k4 &D0 ^M
●For hardware flow control, use the following initialization string AT &F X4 &K3 &D0 ^M
●Add S0=0 to both strings to disable auto-answer if the MT5600BR-V92 is on a voice line.
To store the initialization string in nonvolatile memory:
1. With your communications software open and connected to the modem’s COM port, type the
initialization string in the terminal window, substituting a carriage return for ^M.
2. Enter AT &W0 <CR>.
When the initialization string is stored, you can use the following string to initialize your modem:
AT Z ^M
Configuring the Modem for Your Country or
Region
Different countries have different requirements for how modems must function. Before using your
modem, configure it for country/region in which you are using it. You can use either the Global Wizard
or AT Commands to configure the modem for your country.

settings may cause a modem to become non-compliant with national regulatory requirements in specific
countries. Also note that some software packages may have features or lack restrictions that may cause
the modem to become non-compliant.
New Zealand Telecom Warning Notice
1. The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has
accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It
indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty.
Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item
of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is
compatible with all of Telecom’s network services.
This equipment is not capable under all operating conditions of correct operating conditions of
correct operation at the higher speed which it is designated. 33.6 kbps and 56 kbps connections are
likely to be restricted to lower bit rates when connected to some PSTN implementations. Telecom
will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances.
2. Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its
disposal or repair.
3. This modem shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom
customers.
4. This device is equipped with pulse dialing, while the Telecom standard is DTMF tone dialing. There is
no guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialing.
Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as other equipment, may
give rise to 'bell tinkle' or noise and may also cause a false answer condition. Should such problems
occur, the user should NOT contact the Telecom Faults Service.

Appendix A — Regulatory Compliance

on the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set to operate
within the following limits for compliance with Telecom’s Specifications:
For repeat calls to the same number:
●There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period
for any single manual call initiation, and
●The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end of
one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt.
For automatic calls to different numbers:
●The equipment shall be set to ensure that automatic calls to different numbers are spaced such
that there is no less than 5 seconds between the end of one call attempt and the beginning of
another.
8. For correct operation, total of the RN’s of all devices connected to a single line at any time should

Appendix B – Upgrading Firmware
Your modem is controlled by semi-permanent firmware, which is stored in flash memory. Multi-Tech's
firmware remains stored in memory when the modem is turned off and can be upgraded as new
features are added.
Checking the Modem Firmware Version
Check the current firmware version to determine if an update is needed:
1. Run a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal.
2. In the terminal window, type AT&F. Even if you cannot see the AT&F command on your screen, be
sure to type it completely, and then press Enter. If the modem does not respond with OK, repeat the
AT&F command.
3. Now type ATI3, press Enter and record your results. The firmware version should appear first in the
response, for example:
ACF3_V1.702a_V90_P21_FSH
The number after the V is the current version number.
Checking the Current Firmware Version
Identify the current version of the firmware at the Multi-Tech site. If your modem already has the
current firmware, there is no need to update it.
3. Go to http://www.multitech.com/setup/product.go and select your model from the Product drop
down list.
4. Click Firmware. The firmware zip file name contains the version number. For example,
hhgg702o.zip, indicates version 702o.
5. Compare the version number on the modem to the version on the site. If the versions match, there
is no need to update.
Make sure you compare any letters following the version number. If there was a minor release, the
letter may change instead of the number.
Warning: The first digit of the new firmware must match the first digit of the old firmware, or the
modem may not work properly; e.g., if your current firmware version is 4.16, replace it only
with 4.xx firmware, not 6.xx firmware.

Clearing Your Stored Parameters
Before you flash your modem, record the parameters that are currently stored in it, so you can
reprogram it after flashing. After you have recorded them, send the AT&F command to reset the
modem to clear the stored parameters.
1. Run your favorite terminal program, such as HyperTerminal.
2. In the program’s terminal window, type AT&V and press Enter to list your modem’s current
parameters.
3. Record your parameters by saving the screens and sending them to your printer.
4. Type AT&F and press Enter to clear your stored parameters and reset your modem to factory
default.
5. Close the terminal program.
Upgrading the Modem’s Firmware
Warning:Never install an older version of firmware over a newer version. This destroys the flash
PROM! If the flash PROM is destroyed, the modem must be sent in for repair.
1. Click Start | Programs | Flash Wizard to launch the Flash Wizard. The Identifying Devices dialog box
is displayed as Flash Wizard locates and identifies the devices connected to your system.
Note: If the message ERROR: No valid devices detected is displayed, verify that the modem is
turned on and that all cables are correctly and securely attached.
2. Select the modem to be upgraded, and then click Next.
3. Select the port to be upgraded and the appropriate .HEX file, and then click Next.
Note: Do not use FLASHLDR.HEX. This file is used internally by Flash Wizard.
Caution: If the upgrade is disrupted at this state, your modem may become inoperable. Wait for
Next to become active before proceeding.
