MODEM Unitech provide modem cradle as HT580L’s accessory. So, user can get data through modem if HT580L is plug into modem cradle. In general, system administrator need to setup host PC to automatically dial to modem cradle and then issue command from host to do data communication or remote control. For such configuration, it is necessary to setup modem to automatically pick phone when host call modem. So, it provides option “AUTO ANSWER” to setup modem from HT580L. User can also directly call to remote host PC from modem cradle via HT580L. So, it is necessary to setup remote PC’s phone number, and then dial out, and then hang up phone if user need to stop modem communication. There are below 4 options on MODEM 1.PHONE NUMBER To setup remote modem’s phone number 2.AUTO ANSWER Send ATS0=1 [enter] to modem cradle. So, modem cradle will automatically pickup phone after one ring tone. You will get error message if HT580L is not plugged into cradle or modem cradle is power off. 3.DIAL OUT Dial out according “Phone number” setting. It will send “ATDT” + phone number 4.HANG OUT Hang up phone (send “+++” and then “ATH”) Unitech Part Number: 400412 Unitech Part Number: 400412 FormCaching Specification DATA FIELD DEFINITION: maximum field number=8 Category Range Description 3.
