Operating your modem
You can perform common modem functions such as dialing,
file transfer, and faxing using the modem communications
software that came with your computer. For information
about configuring communications software, see
“Configuring your communications software” on page 3-10.
It is still possible for you to perform the basic modem
functions using the AT commands from the Windows 95
DOS box prompt. A list and description of all the AT
commands appear in the section “AT commands” on
page B-6.
We strongly recommend, however, that you perform all
modem operations through the modem communications
software since it is designed to eliminate the inconvenience
of using the AT commands. Modem software allows you to
operate the modem by simply selecting command items
from onscreen menus.
Note:
The communications software that came with your
Aptiva computer provides a friendly interface for all
common modem functions and should be sufficient for
all of your communication needs.
Note:
Most modem communications software programs also
allow you to send specific AT commands to the modem.
