- If the modem has dip switches, set them as follows:
- 1,5,6, and 7 up
- 2,3,4, and 8 down
- If the modem does not have dip switches, don’t worry about it!

- Make sure the correct modem driver is installed. Don’t use “Standard Modem”.
- Set the hyper-terminal session “Baud” as specified in the following instructions (See the sections titled: “Remote Site Settings” and “Host Settings”)
- View the modem’s Active and Stored settings:
- "ATI4" followed by the Enter key displays the settings the modem is using
- "ATI5" followed by the Enter key displays the settings stored in NOVRAM
- If the settings need to be changed then continue
- Recommend "AT&F" to reset the modem to factory defaults.
- See the sections titled: “Remote Site Settings” and “Host Settings”
- Suggest you store the settings in both profiles of the modem’s NOVRAM.
- "&W0" stores to "&Y0"
- "&W1" stores to "&Y1"
- Help Commands for US Robotics are:
- AT&$
- ATS$
- AT$
- After following the preceding steps for the remote site’s modem:
- Connect the modem to the Tap (or emulated Tap) and Analog Phone Line
- Power-up the modem
- Press the controller’s reset button or cycle the Tap’s power
- Do NOT cycle the modem’s power
- The "RD" and "SD" should flash after several seconds have past
- After about 30 seconds the "AA," TR" and "CS" lights should be "On"
- Using INET, Dial the site. Make sure the host can:
- Dial out (you can hear the dial tone)
- Handshake with the remote Modem
- Maintain its connection to the remote modem (Neither modem automatically terminates call)
- See the Controller(s) on the LAN • Actually connect to the controller(s)
- View points in the summary screens
