INTRODUCTION
An Introduction to ISDN
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a digital network capable of providing the end user with high speed data, voice and image transmission at the same time. A way of accessing the network, is by using the (Basic Rate Access or BRA or 2B+D) communication protocol which supplies three channels to the subscriber. Two of these channels are 64kbps channels (B-channels) used for the transmission of voice or / and data, while the third one is a 16kbps channel (D-channel), used for signalling transmission between the ISDN Exchange and the Network Termination NT1.

Figure 1: The basic rate access connection (BRA) between the subscriber and the ISDN network The connection of a subscriber terminal device to the network requires an intermediate device, called Network Termination 1 or NT1. The device is installed at the subscriber side and is connected to the ISDN Exchange via a simple 2-wire line, known as U-line (Figure 1). The U-line transfers the digital signal that corresponds to the 2B+D channels. Different types of terminal devices can be connected to the NT1 (ISDN or plain analogue terminals). In order to cover up the different subscribers needs, INTRACOM offers the following types of Network Termination units: netCon netCon+ netMod

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

netCon
netCon offers to the subscriber the possibility of connecting up to 8 ISDN terminal devices to the ISDN network. The connection is via a 4-wire cable, known as the S-bus. netCon has two RJ-45 jacks used for the connection of the ISDN terminal devices to the S-bus. Up to 8 ISDN terminal devices can be connected as described in the paragraph Connecting an ISDN Device on page 18.

netCon+
netCon+ besides offering the possibility of connecting ISDN terminal devices to the ISDN network, also offers the possibility of connecting plain analogue devices (like analogue telephones, FAX G3, analogue modems, etc.). The connection of plain analogue devices is made via the two analogue ports (RJ11-jacks), while at the same time the connection of up to 8 ISDN terminal devices is made via the two RJ-45 jacks of the S-bus (see paragraphs Connecting Analogue Devices and Connecting an ISDN Device, on page 17 and 18 respectively).

netMod
netMod, besides offering the possibilities of connecting ISDN terminal devices and plain analogue devices to the ISDN network, also offers the possibility of connecting a Personal Computer (PC) to the Internet (or similar networks) without using any extra equipment. The connection of up to 8 ISDN terminal devices is made via the S-bus, while the plain analogue devices are connected through the two analogue ports and the Personal Computer (PC) through the asynchronous serial port (RS232) or the USB port, (see paragraphs Connecting Analogue Devices, Connecting an ISDN Device and Connecting a Personal Computer, on pages 17, 18 and 19 respectively).

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

The connection of NT1 type devices to the ISDN exchange and to the subscriber terminal devices is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Connections of NT1 type devices Figure 2 clearly shows (shade levels) that netMod surpasses the potentiality of netCon+, and netCon+ surpasses the potentiality of netCon.

netMods Functionality in Case of Emergency Operation

When the mains power 230VAC is missing, netMod operates in the emergency mode. In this case the user shall select which analogue or ISDN telephone sets will remain operational (allowed is the operation of one ISDN telephone set or two analogue telephone sets maximum). The selection is done by pressing:

**83*#
where =0 refers to the POTS ports ab, and =1 refers to the ISDN ports of the S-bus (S0).

The above selection procedure is possible only when the mains power is present.

In order to define which analogue device will remain operational when both analogue devices are simultaneously in function and the mains power fails, lift the handset and press

**80#
for the analogue device connected at port ab1

**81#
for the analogue device connected at port ab2

**82#
for both analogue devices connected at the analogue ports.

Check if your ISDN device operates in emergency mode (ATTENTION: not all ISDN devices can operate in emergency mode please refer to your device handbook). In case where you selected the S-Bus to be operational in emergency mode, then only one ISDN device will operational. If the user do not select any specific analogue port, the port that will remain operational in emergency mode will be the port ab1. If the distance between you and the providers telephone exchange is more than 3.5km, then the simultaneous operation of both analogue devices in emergency mode could be impossible.

ISDN SERVICES
The ISDN services are divided into three main categories: the Bearer Services the Teleservices the Supplementary Services

The Bearer Services, are services responsible to transfer information (voice, data, image etc.) between the subscribers, in real time, without changing the information structure. These services concern the ISDN connection providers. The Teleservices are telephone network services and are described below: Telephony at 3.1kHz Telephony at 7kHz (high quality level voice telephony) Facsimile with FAX G4 (advanced FAX with very high transmission rate) Videotext Teletext Videotelephony

The Supplementary Services are services offered via ISDN connections and are described in detail in the next Chapter. netMod also supports some other services known as Additional Services, which can be activated / deactivated in the same way as Supplementary Services. netMod supports some supplementary / additional services on its analogue ports, that can be activated / deactivated separately on each port by means of an analogue telephone set with (DTMF) dialling connected to the corresponding netMods analogue port. This activation / deactivation can also be achieved via the AT Commands (see Supplementary Services using AT Commands page 73, Additional Services using AT Commands page 78) through the serial port connection of the PC.

20

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

netMod does not activate / deactivate the supplementary / additional services on the S-bus. Signalling and data on the S-bus are transferred transparently through the netMod. The subscriber, following the users instructions of the terminal device connected to the S-bus, can activate / deactivate the supplementary / additional services, separately on each device.

You have to confirm that the Supplementary and Additional Services described below have been activated in the ISDN Exchange of the ISDN service provider.

The operator of the ISDN exchange has to activate supplementary / additional services after a subscribers request. The subscriber then, can activate / deactivate these services on each analogue port, depending on his/her needs.

The settings made for the supplementary / additional services by pressing the keys of the analogue devices are permanently stored in netMod. The settings made using AT commands are not permanently stored in netMod (excluding the Multiple Subscriber Number) and are not restored after resetting the device. To permanently store these settings, you have to follow the process described in paragraph Permanent Storage of the SRegisters Settings page 71.

Detailed Description and Use of Supplementary Services

The marking of the FLASH key varies between different telephone devices. Sometimes it is shown as FL, and other times as PR. For further information consult the manufacturing instructions given for your device. Some services like (CLIP service) require special terminal devices with LCD display, in order to be supported (e.g. INTRACOMS IRIS 6020-CID telephone device).

1.

Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN)

One of the basic ISDN services, is the Multiple Subscriber Number, which offers multiple subscriber numbers in the same ISDN subscriber line (up to 10, while the ISDN service providers offer up to 8). Through the MSN service the subscriber assigns multiple subscriber numbers (MSN) to a single BRI line. These subscriber numbers are assigned and partitioned from netMod to the analogue ports (ab1 and ab2) and to the serial port. MSN numbers are assigned to the ISDN terminals from the terminals keyboard, based on the corresponding instructions given by the manufacturer. The subscriber is able to know the MSN numbers given by the service provider, through a simple request for an ISDN line acquisition. Up to three subscribers numbers can be assigned to each analogue and data port, and they can be stored in the corresponding netMods memory locations. The following procedures assign or delete (MSN) numbers to the memory of each of netMods analogue port (ab1 or ab2): For each analogue port write the desired (MSN) number to the memory location X ( X= 1 or 2 or 3 ) by pressing **9X*MSN# For each analogue port delete the (MSN) number that is stored to the memory location X ( X= 1 or 2 or 3 ) by pressing **9X*#

To assign MSN numbers to the devices connected to the S-bus see page 37.

Calling Line Identification Presentation Calling Line Identification Presentation (ON HOOK CLIP)

Calling Line Identification Presentation is a service offered to the called subscriber and presents the calling partys number before answering the call (ON HOOK). In the display of the called subscribers telephone set, appears the number of the calling subscriber. This service is implemented by means of FSK signalling on netMods analogue ports. The called subscriber should have the proper terminal device that transforms the FSK signalling to a visual indication (e.g. INTRACOMS IRIS 6020-CID). Note that if the CLIP service is available to the subscriber, netMod initially allows the forwarding of the calling subscriber number through FSK signalling, to the called subscriber terminal device connected to the analogue ports ab1 and ab2. By pressing the keys *85# the transmission of the CLIP signal is activated, separately on each of netMods analogue port ab1 or ab2. By pressing the keys #85# the transmission of the CLIP signal is restricted, separately on each of netMods analogue port ab1 or ab2.

5.2.

Note that this service is initially activated on both analogue ports of netMod.

Setting the Own Number

The calling subscriber can define which of the MSN numbers assigned to each analogue port will be presented on the called subscriber when he makes a call from the specified port by pressing the following keys combinations:

**90*MSN#
5.3. Calling Line Identification Presentation (OFF HOOK CLIP or CLIP on CW)

This service allows the called subscriber to identify the calling subscriber, during off hook state. Activating this service, the subscriber that has already answered a call is able to identify all the new incoming calls (Waiting Calls). By pressing the keys *84# the transmission of the CLIP signal is activated on each of netMods analogue port ab1 or ab2. By pressing the keys #84# the transmission of the CLIP signal is restricted on each of netMods analogue port ab1 or ab2.

Detailed Description and Use of Additional Services

1. Functional / Keypad Protocol

If the ISDN exchange is using the FUNCTIONAL protocol to activate / deactivate the supplementary services, you do not need to program anything. netMod initially supports the FUNCTIONAL protocol. If the ISDN exchange supports the KEYPAD protocol for the activation / deactivation of supplementary services, then it has also to be activated in netMod. To activate the KEYPAD protocol, press **11# To re-establish the FUNCTIONAL protocol, press **10#

Alternatively, you can activate the KEYPAD protocol by writing on the register S100 the value 1. If the ISDN exchange supports only the KEYPAD protocol, the supplementary services Three Party Conference and Malicious Call Identification are not supported. The activation of KEYPAD protocol using the keypad commands is permanent. Any change is saved in user profile 0 which becomes the active profile after restarting the system (hardware reset). The activation of KEYPAD protocol using S-Registers is not permanent. In this case to permanently store these changes, the user has to follow the process for permanent storage of S-Registers settings. 2. Hot Line (HL)

If you have activated the HL service and you hook off the handset of your telephone device, then an inspection of 10 seconds starts. After 10 seconds, a call is made to a preselected subscriber number. If the subscriber calls another subscriber number before the end of 10 seconds, the HL service is cancelled. To activate the HL service press *53*Number# To deactivate the HL service press #53#

SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES AND TERMINAL DEVICES

netMod supports three different types of terminal devices (analogue devices, ISDN devices, Personal Computer) and various supplementary services to the subscriber. For the best use of terminal devices connected to netMod, attention must be given when using supplementary services, during establishment, duration or answer of a call. Connecting a Terminal Device to the S-bus Note that: netMod does not activate / deactivate supplementary services on the S-bus. Signalling and data concerning the S-bus are transferred transparently via netMod. The subscriber, following the users instructions of the terminal device connected to the Sbus, can activate / deactivate the supplementary services separately on each device. netMod does not program MSN numbers on the S-bus. Programming of MSN numbers is done on the devices connected to that port. Each of these devices compares the called party number of the incoming call, with the programmed MSN numbers stored in its memory. The device will accept the call when the called party number is identical to one of the MSN numbers programmed in the device. If there are no programmed MSN numbers in the device, then all the incoming calls are accepted.

37

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

Connecting a Videophone Many videophones interchange with the ISDN exchange the same information as netMod, for the establishment-answer of a call. For this reason, in order to answer a videophone call, the following steps are suggested: Assign MSN numbers (MSN service) to the data port, so as to prevent a PC connected to netMod port from answering a videophone call. In case of an incoming videophone call, the call must have a called party number different from the MSN number assigned to the data port.

Assign MSN numbers forcing netMod to compare the called party subscriber number that follows an incoming call, with the MSN numbers of each port. After this comparison the call will be driven to the analogue port, or the data port whose MSN number is identical to the called party number of the call. If the called party number is not identical to any of the MSN numbers assigned to the analogue ports or the data ports, it will be driven to the S-bus transparently. When a videophone device is connected to the S-bus, it is suggested to program MSN numbers on the videophone device (netMod does not program MSN numbers on the Sbus). In case of an incoming videophone call, the call will be transparently driven to the Sbus, because when a port has no assigned MSN numbers, it accepts all the calls. The videophone will then compare the called party number of the incoming call with the programmed MSN numbers. If the called party number is identical to an MSN number, the videophone will accept the call. Connecting a FAX or MODEM to the Analogue Ports When a FAX or an analogue Modem is connected to an analogue netMods port, it is suggested: to deactivate the CW (Call Waiting) service on this port. An audio tone is generated when this service is active and can interrupt the transmission of a FAX or the connection of an analogue modem. to assign MSN numbers to this port. In this case the incoming calls from the FAX or the analogue modem, must have called party numbers identical to one MSN number of the port, to which the FAX or the analogue modem is connected. Assigning MSN numbers prevents the devices from answering a call that does not refer to them.

38

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

Communication with an ISDN MODEM In case of an incoming data call from an ISDN modem, it is suggested to assign MSN numbers to the data port. In case of an incoming call from an ISDN modem, the call should have a called party number identical to the one of the MSN numbers assigned to the data port.

When the analogue or the data ports have no MSN numbers assigned, they accept any call (netMod does not make any comparison of numbers). When the device connected to the S-bus has no MSN numbers assigned on its memory, it accepts any call.

Connecting to the Internet using PPP or ML-PPP Protocol For the connection to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) with the appropriate ISDN equipment, anything mentioned above remains valid. In the last netMods software version, is presumed that the ML-PPP connection to the Internet Service Provider is deactivated. If the subscriber wishes to use both B-channels for the connection, he / she has to give the command atb0 to netMod and to make it negotiate the ML-PPP.

Before you activate this service, it is important to be registered as Internet subscriber at 128kbps, and to be sure that the ISP supports connection with the use of the ML-PPP protocol. PPP indicates maximum transmission data rate of 64kbps, therefore, only one B-channel is used. ML-PPP indicates maximum transmission data rate at 128kbps, therefore, both B-channels are used, but only when it is required by the transmitted data volume.

If you are connected to the Internet at 128kbps using both Bchannels and you receive an incoming call for an analogue telephone, then one of the two channels is released to answer this call. Moreover, if you wish to make a call from an analogue telephone, then one (of the two) channel is released from the Internet connection.

51

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

In case of connection, the H/W flow control has to be activated in the computers data port used for the connection to netMod. The way of activation / deactivation of ML-PPP through the <Dial Up Networking> of Windows 95/98/Me, is described below. Having created a connection using the <Dial-Up Networking> from the <Accessories> windows menu, you can activate / deactivate the ML-PPP when you access the Internet. Open the <Dial-Up Networking> window, choose the connection <My Connection> that you have created and press the right mouse button. From the menu that appears, select the <Properties>. On the window that appears, select the <Connection> page. Click on <Advanced>.

The next window will appear on your screen:

In the <Extra Settings> field enter the b0 command and click on <>, if you want to activate the MLPPP and use data rates of 128kbps, whenever needed for your Internet connection. or In the <Extra Settings> field enter the b40 command and then click on <> to deactivate the ML-PPP and use the simple PPP with data rates of 64kbps for your Internet connection.

52

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

In order to avoid extra meaningless charges, it is suggested to the subscribers of 64kbps to give the b40 command in the area of Extra Settings, when they access the Internet. The b0 command should be given only when your Internet access rate is of 128kbps.

In case of a ML-PPP connection, the second B channel is added or subtracted according to the transferred data rate (Bandwidth On Demand). When you use a B-channel and the data rate exceeds a limit for a specific time period, the second B-channel will be added to the connection. On the other hand, when both B-channels are used and the rate drops below the limit for a specific time period, the second B-channel will be subtracted from the connection. The limits of this rate for the addition / subtraction of B-channel, as well as the time period for which the rate has to be above / below these limits, so that the B-channel can be added / subtracted, are defined through AT Commands as described in the chapter AT COMMANDS.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
One of the basic netMods capabilities is its Software Upgrade capability. In this case you have to use the appropriate software file version, which can be found in netMods Helpdesk site (http://netmod.intracom.gr). The downloading procedure is simple and is done by using a communication program with XMODEM protocol support (e.g. Windows Hyper Terminal). An alternative solution for upgrading netMod is the embedded upgrade option of NCM (netMod Configuration Manager) supplied in netMods packaging. Follow the instructions given below: Once you have connected and activated netMod, you can use the command ATUPX. netMod will then ask to confirm your selection. If you answer Y you MUST download the new firmware. Be aware to have the correct file before you answer Y. Adjust the communication parameters to 115200bps 8N1 with hardware flow control and use the protocol XMODEM to load the firmware as a send file procedure. If you encounter any problem (loss of mains power supply, procedure fail, etc.) press switch SW2. netMod will restore its initial state and will be fully operational according to the factory settings, using the firmware stored in one of its two flash memories. Repeat the above procedure if you wish to download the new firmware.

COMMUNICATION BY OTHER MEANS

A PC connected to netMod is able to communicate with another PC connected to a corresponding ISDN device. A basic requirement to achieve this communication is that the other device has to use one of the communication protocols that netMod uses. netMod uses the PPP, ML-PPP, Transparent PPP and Voice Transparent protocols, which are described in more details below. Apart from using the same protocol, both PCs must also have the appropriate software. In any case of connection the H/W flow control has to be activated on the PCs serial port used for the connection to netMod. Transmission using a PPP Protocol In case of PPP connection, using Windows 9x/Me, the user should make a dial-up connection. The dial number has to be the device number that you want to communicate with. The PC that receives the incoming call has to have the dial-up software active, waiting for this call. On Windows 95 you can activate the Dial-Up Server from the <Connection> menu on the <Dial-Up Networking> window.

On the window that appears select your netMod and press the <Allow caller access> to activate your incoming calls.

56

Once the connection is established, you can have access to the hard disk of the remote PC (when the File Sharing is activated on the Dial-Up Server). To do so you can use the Find Computer on the Start menu. Search for the PC that you are connected to, by using its network identification name. When you find the PC double click on the icon that appears. All the shared hard disks of the remote PC will appear on a new window and you can have access to them in the same way that you have access to your local disk.

Transparent Modes For applications like voice or fax through the PC (with proper software running in the PC), netMod transfers data transparently from the data port to the occupied B-Channel and vice versa. Then the PC software processes these data. The following types of transparent modes are available: Voice Transparent Mode In this mode the data received from the data interface are transparently transmitted to the connected B-channel and vice versa. If no data are available from the data interface, an audio pattern that corresponds to silence and depends on the coding law used in the particular country is transmitted to the B-Channel. If this mode is enabled, netMod will use the 3.1kHz audio bearer capability for outgoing data calls and will accept incoming calls with speech and 3.1kHz audio bearer capability. This means that you are able to answer a call or make one to a fax or to an analogue telephone. The data that are received and transferred to the computer must be handled by appropriate software. You can enable audio transparent mode by writing to the S82-Register the value 76. PPP Transparent Mode In this mode the received and transmitted data are transferred from / to the data port and the B-Channels in the same way as in the PPP protocol (HDLC framing with PPP heading). The only difference is that these data will be transparently transferred by netMod. Only CRC inspection is done in each packet. When an error is found, the packet is rejected. netMod uses the unrestricted digital bearer capability for the outgoing calls and does not accept incoming voice calls and 3.1kHz audio. The transmitted and received data from / to the PC have to be processed through the proper software. You can activate the PPP transparent mode by writing to the S82-Register the value 78.

58

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

Data Transparent Mode This mode is used for direct communication between netMods. All the data are received and transmitted transparently from / to the serial port, but they are received and transmitted with an HDSL framing from / to the B-Channels. In this mode, netMod uses the unrestricted digital bearer capability for the incoming / outgoing calls. It does not accept calls with speech or 3.1kHz audio bearer capability. Use this mode for direct communication with another netMod that also uses this mode. Use a simple communication program (like Hyper Terminal). You can not use this mode for communication with other modems. You can activate the Data Transparent Mode by writing to the S82-Register the value 80. netMod and AO/DI AO/DI (Always On Dynamic ISDN) is the most appropriate solution for permanent connection (Always On) with the Internet using the ISDN network. This technology is based on the distribution and use of part of the available range of the signalling D channel of your ISDN line. From the 16kbps, the 9600 bps can be released and be available for data transfer without causing problem to the ISDN line operation. By this way, your connection constantly remains open providing you with the advantages of a leased circuit. The above technology is accomplished through the use of X.25 and PPP protocols (PPP over X.25 over D channel) and is combined with the use of B channels and the ML/PPP protocol when necessary, i.e. for high rate data transmission. Utilizing Bandwidth on Demand, netMod can connect the B channels in order to achieve speed rates up to 64 or 128 kbps. The B channels will be disconnected when the demand for high rate transmissions is no longer required and the connection will revert to AO/DI state. Some of the advantages of the AO/DI operation are: Software use for Instant Messaging Dispatch and receipt of e-mail messages without calling the Internet provider Terminal devices and software can be easily used for verification of credit card data from commercial stores 24 hour Internet connection with no telephone charges B channels availability for telephone calls

netMod can support the AO/DI capability, provided that it is available from the telephone service provider and the Internet provider, by upgrading only netMods software.

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

In order to make an AO/DI call, no additional software is required to be installed on your PC. All you need is Windows DialUp networking.

When netMod is operating with one or both B channels open for data transmission, the AO/DI connection (i.e. 9600 bps range) is placed out of operation. AO/DI operation will be reestablished as soon as the B channels are disconnected. Also provided is the ability to use the X.25 protocol over the D channel without simultaneous use of the AO/DI connection.

AT COMMANDS
AT COMMANDS Definition
The AT COMMANDS is a group of standard commands, used for the control of communication devices like netMod. Each command starts with the AT prefix and then follows the main command body that states which function has to be performed. You can configure netMod using the AT COMMANDS and a simple communication program (e.g. The Hyper Terminal of Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP). If you select a communication program, you can select different baud-rates. netMod will automatically recognise the selected rate and it will respond to the AT COMMANDS. The rate of 115200bps is the usual choice. Always use the Hardware Flow Control to inspect the data flow on the serial port. The AT COMMANDS, described below, refer to S/W versions later than the V1.7 version.

ML-PPP Settings using the AT COMMANDS

ATJAn: where n is the B-channels addition limit, in kilobits per second (kbps). The factory pre-set value is 52 kbps. ATJSn: where n is the B-channels subtraction limit, in kilobits per second (kbps). The factory pre-set value is 48 kbps. ATKAxn: where x defines the kind of time units (x=M for minutes or x=S for seconds) and n defines the time period in the corresponding time units. When the rate during this time period is above the limit, the second B-channel will be added. The factory pre-set value is 20 seconds. ATKSxn: where x defines the kind of time units (x=M for minutes or x=S for seconds) and n defines the time duration in the corresponding time units. When the rate during this time duration is below the limit, the second B-channel will be subtracted. The factory pre-set value is 40 seconds. Conclusively, in accordance with the factory values, when the data rate is above 52kbps for a time period of 20 seconds, the second B-channel will be added. When both Bchannels are used and the rate drops below 48kbps for a time period of 40 seconds, the second B-channel will be subtracted from the connection.

Permanent Storage of the S-Registers Settings

The changes in the S-Registers settings are stored in netMods RAM memory. This means that when we restart the system the values in the S-Registers are the factory pre-set values. To make the storage of the settings permanent, the subscriber has to use the user profiles. The process is described below. When the desired settings are completed, the user has to give the following commands: AT&Wn, where n takes the values from 0 to 3, and is the profile number where the settings are stored. This command will store the present settings in the desired profile. To make this profile an active profile after restarting the system, you have to give the command: ATS15= the value that corresponds to the profile where we stored the desired settings. The settings from the POTS devices keyboard change the values in the S-Registers. These settings are not permanent. For the storage of these settings, the user profile 0 is used, and becomes active after resetting.

Supplementary Services using AT Commands

Some of the Supplementary Services can be activated / deactivated through the use of AT COMMANDS. 1. Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN)

By using AT commands, you assign or delete (MSN) numbers on the memory for each of netMods analogue port (ab1 or ab2). For the port ab1 type: at&ziN= MSN number, to assign an MSN number on the port ab1 The number N takes the values: N=0, for the first MSN port number N=1, for the second MSN port number N=2, for the third MSN port number at&ziN= Enter key, to delete a previously assigned MSN number on the port ab1 (N=0 or 1 or 2) For the port ab2 type: at&ziN= MSN number, to assign an MSN number on the port ab2 The number N takes the values: N=3, for the first MSN port number N=4, for the second MSN port number N=5, for the third MSN port number at&ziN= Enter key, to delete a previously assigned MSN number on the port ab2 (N=3 or 4 or 5)

73

Users Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit

By using AT Commands, MSN numbers are assigned on the data port (RS232 or USB). Type: at&ziN= MSN number, to assign an MSN number on the data port The number N takes the values: N=6, for the first MSN port number N=7, for the second MSN port number N=8, for the third MSN port number at&ziN= Enter key, to delete a previously assigned MSN number on the data port (N=6 or 7 or 8) To view the MSN numbers assigned on both analogue ports (ab1 and ab2) and the data port type: at&zi?

Note that the above settings, initiated by AT Commands are permanently stored in netMods memory.

2.

Call Waiting (CW)

Using AT Commands write the proper values in the S79-Register to activate / deactivate the supplementary services on each of netMods analogue port (ab1 or ab2). ATS79=0 deactivates the service on both analogue port ab1 and ab2 ATS79=4 activates the service on the analogue port ab1 and deactivates the service on the analogue port ab2 ATS79=8 deactivates the service on the analogue port ab1 and activates the service on the analogue port ab2 ATS79=12 activates the service on both analogue port ab1 and ab2

Note that this service is initially activated on both analogue ports of netMod.

Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP)

Using AT Commands the called subscriber can write the proper value on the S84-Register to allow / restrict the presentation of the calling party number on both analogue netMods ports. ATS84=0 allows the forwarding of the calling party number to the called subscribers terminal devices connected to the analogue ports ab1 and ab2, in OFF HOOK and ON HOOK state. ATS84=190 restricts the forwarding of the calling party number to the called subscribers terminal devices connected to the analogue ports ab1 and ab2 when OFF HOOK, and allows the forwarding of the calling subscribers number when ON HOOK. ATS84=240 restricts the forwarding of the calling party number to the called subscribers terminal devices connected to the analogue ports ab1 and ab2 either in OFF HOOK or in ON HOOK state. The calling subscriber can define which of his/her multiple subscriber numbers (MSN) defined on each port will appear on the called subscribers device, when he / she initiates calls from the specified port. Type the following commands: at&zoa= MSN number, for the analogue port ab1 at&zob= MSN number, for the analogue port ab2 at&zoi= MSN number, for the data port The above settings are stored permanently in netMods memory. If the calling subscriber does not make the above assignments for each port, then by making a call from that specific port, the basic subscriber number defined for this BRA access will appear on the called subscribers devices. Using AT Commands write on the S82-Register the proper value, to allow the presentation of the calling party number on the screen of your communication program (e.g. Hyper Terminal) on your PC. ATS82=76 allows the presentation of the calling party number on the monitor of your PC. To restore the proper functionality and to be connected to the Internet by using the PPP or ML-PPP protocol, give the command: ATS82=74, that allows the restoration of the proper functionality for the connection to the Internet.

In order to be connected to the Internet, write on the S82-Register the value 74.

MALFUNCTION DETECTION AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Malfunction The green led is off. Possible Cause The device is not connected to the AC mains. Correcting Action Connect the device to the AC mains Power Supply (the AC mains voltage should be at least 100VAC). If your device is an ISDN device, be sure that it can operate in emergency mode and then check if the switch SW3 of netMod is in the ON position. If your device is an analogue device, be sure that the SW3 switch of netMod is in the OFF position.

netMod is not supplied by the AC mains, you Hook-off and you do not hear the dial tone.

The device that you are using does not operate in case of emergency operation.

Some of the supplementary services do not function on the analogue ports.

These supplementary services have not been activated on the ISDN line (ISDN connection).

Check if the local ISDN exchange supports the functional or the keypad protocol to activate / deactivate the Supplementary / Additional services and set-up the netMod accordingly. Request the activation of the desired Supplementary / Additional services on your line from the Local Exchange. Adjust the identification time period of FLASH key on the analogue ports, assigning to the S56 register the proper value.

You connect an analogue modem or a FAX to the analogue port, but when you receive an incoming call the connection is interrupted.

The Call Waiting service has been activated on this port.

Deactivate the Call Waiting service on the port to which the analogue modem or the FAX is connected.
