- Hi Kelly,
-
- I have been using a Motorola LifeStyle for about a year now. The Power is
- basically the same modem with a Flash ROM for updating.
-
- The init string that I use is in two parts because of the dialler that I use.
- But it should work OK if put into a single string:-
-
- First bit - AT&F1 - to reset to factory defaults, just in case ...
-
- Second bit
-
- ATL2\\N6%R2*FT1*TD16*TH1
-
- where:-
-
- L2 set the speaker so that I can hear the negotiation start
- \\N6 to force a protocol connection. my dialler needs two // because it uses
- C type escape sequences your dialler may require only one \ toe manual says
- that the modem only requires one \
- %R2 - to allow retraining and set the error level to something sensible
- *FT1 - to allow fast training up
- *TD16 - to set the line transmit level to -16dBm, which helps in New Zealand
- where our telephone system follows British practice, and American modems use
- resistive termination rather than the complex impedance one specified in
- British prectice. The effect of the lower line level is to reduce the effect
- of line mismatch.
- *TH1 - the set the error detection threshold to something sensible.
-
- The MOtorola Modems as received will connect to most things, but the data
- transfer rates are not usually optimum. The above settings were arrived at
- after sutdy of the manual, and discussion with one of my friends who writes
- software for modems!!
-
- Regards to you all, I hope that this helps
