MT2834BA/BL-Series Intelligent Data/Fax Modem Quick Start Guide

Introduction

This guide shows you step-by-step how to set up your Multi-Tech

MultiModem. For a complete listing of all your modem’s features, and for

instructions on its advanced configuration and use, refer to the

MT2834BA/BL User Guide, which is included on the MT2834BA/BL CD.

The User Guide is also available on Multi-Tech’s Web site at:

www.multitech.com

Your MultiModem provides data communication at the following rates:

MT2834BA 33,600 - 14,400 bps (Enhanced V.34/V.32bis)

MT2834BL 33,600 - 14,400 bps (Enhanced V.34/V.32bis)

The MultiModem includes dial backup with automatic lease-line

restoration, adaptive protocol enhancing used in typical Unix® batch file

transfers, and support for IBM's AS/400TM and WindowsTM environments.

Safety Warnings

1. Use this product only with UL- and CUL-listed computers.

2. Never install phone wiring during a lightning storm.

3. Never install a phone jack in a wet location unless the jack is

specifically designed for wet locations.

4. Never touch uninsulated phone wires or terminals unless the phone

line has been disconnected at the network interface.

5. Use caution when installing or modifying phone lines.

6. Avoid using a phone during an electrical storm; there is a risk of

electrical shock from lightning.

7. Do not use a phone in the vicinity of a gas leak.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger telephone line

cord.

Installation

The installation of the MultiModem consists of making the physical

connections necessary to render the modem functional with your

computer. This includes making the proper serial, phone line, and power

connections.

Step 1: Verify Dip-Switch Settings

Verify that the settings for DIP-Switch #5 and DIP-Switch #10 match

those of your system configuration.

The 16-position DIP-Switch (numbered 1-16) is accessible through a cut-

out on the right side (as the LEDs are facing you) of the modem chassis.

For a full description of all DIP-Switch Settings, refer to Chapter 9 of your

User Guide.

Step 2: Verify Position of ON/OFF Switch

Verify that the ON/OFF switch at the rear of the modem to the

OFF

(Down) position.

Step 3: Connect the Modem to Either a Dial-Up or Leased Line

Dial-Up -

To connect the modem to a dial-up phone line, attach the RJ-

11 telephone cord (provided with your modem) to the PSTN connector

on the modem and to a dial-up wall jack.

Leased Line -

To connect the modem to a leased line, attach the RJ-11

telephone cord (provided with your modem) to the LEASE connector on

the modem and to a leased-line wall jack.

Step 4: Connect the Modem to Your PC

Attach the RS-232 connector on the modem to the serial port on your

computer with an RS-232 cable, which you supply.

Step 5: Connect a Telephone to the Modem

To connect a telephone set to the modem (optional) plug one end of an

RJ-11 phone cord into the PHONE connector on the modem, and plug

the other end into your telephone.

Step 6: Connect the Modem to the AC Power Outlet

Attach the AC Power transformer provided with your modem to the

POWER connector on the modem and to a live AC outlet.

Note:Only apply power to the modem using the power transformer

provided with your unit. Use of a power supply not designed for your unit

could result in damage to your modem and will void the warranty.

Step 7: Apply Power

Apply power to the modem by setting the ON/OFF switch at the rear of

the modem to the

ON (Up) position.

Loading PhoneTools Software

Communication programs designed for Windows normally do not need

to be manually configured since they use the Plug and Play

configuration. NT4.0 uses an Add Modem wizard which is a step-by-

step modem setup program. See the PhoneTools documentation on the

MT2834BA/BL CD for installation and configuration directions.

Is Your Modem Ready for Use?

As soon as you have connected power to the modem, if you are an

experienced modem user, you may simply want to check your modem’s

settings for data compression, error correction, and so on. You may find

that you can get moving quite quickly if you just issue an

ATL5, ATL6

and an

ATL7

command. These commands list how your modem is

currently configured. If you come across a setting you’re unsure of, refer

to Chapters 5 and 6 of the User Guide for AT command and S-Register

explanations and defaults.

If you’re a novice, refer to Chapter 3 of the User Guide to learn about the

basics of data communications.
