11.4 SETTING UP YOUR HOST MACHINE
11.4.3 MODEM SETUP
11
When the device is connected to ALPS-Link through a dial-up modem, it is essential that ALPS-Link is supplied
with information about the modem characteristics. This can be done using the Modem setup.
To setup the Modem, choose the Support Functions > Host Setup menu item. A pop up menu r will be dis-
played. Choose the Modem item from this menu. The Modem Setup dialog box will appear.

The Init. String, Dial String and the Hang-up String text boxes are all modem dependent. Refer to your
modem manual for the suitable strings. Up to 40 characters are accepted for each of these fields.
If any number or string is to be dialed or sent on the port before dialing the phone number, specify it as the Dial
Prefix. Similarly any strings to be appended at the end of the phone number are to be entered in the Dial Suf-
fix field. These are modem independent and can be left blank if not needed.
The amount of time for which the system has to wait before deciding the non-availability of the telephone line is
the Dial timeout. A maximum of 99 seconds can be specified here. The host will re-dial if the maximum num-
ber of valid re-dials are not yet completed.
The Re-dial Delay is in addition to the timeout delay. This is the amount of time the host machine waits before
a re-dial. A maximum of 99 seconds can be specified here.
Specify the number of Re-dial Attempts the host machine has to do before declaring the dialing operation a
failure. A maximum of 9 re-dials can be specified.
Any modifications done in the modem setup actually take effect the next time you make a connection request
with a device.
