42 l Modbus communications by modem
Ÿ Modem Type: Specifies the kind of modem connected to your
computer.
Ÿ None (default setting): for direct Modbus connections
between the PC and controller without a modem. This setting
disables the other modem options.
Ÿ Dial-Up: For standard modems which do not require a
password. If you are unsure, try this setting first. When you
select a device, NxT asks you for a number to dial.
Ÿ Dial-Chat: For password-protected modems. After the
connection is established, a terminal window opens so you
can enter text. When you select a device, NxT asks you for a
number to dial.
Ÿ Line/J478: For modems with a dedicated telephone line to the
controller. You do not have to type a number to dial. This
setting disables the other modem options.
Ÿ LineRTS: For radio or microwave modems with a dedicated
link to the controller. You don’t have to type a number to dial.
This setting disables the other modem options.
Ÿ Initialization: Some modems require special initialization
commands such as ATZ before they can be used. Type a sequence
of Hayes modem commands in this field for NxT to send to your
modem. Check your modem’s manual for the commands to turn
off error correction, compression, and software flow control and
turn on verbal word results.
Ÿ Dial Command: Type ATDT for tone dialing (default) or ATD for
pulse dialing. This prefix is sent to the modem along with the
phone number you type in the Select Device dialog. To instruct the
modem to pause for half a second, type a comma (,).
Ÿ Command Suffix: Characters appended to every command you
send to the modem, including the Initialization string and Hangup
command. The default is a carriage return and a line feed.
Ÿ Hangup Command: To hang up your modem, NxT sends the
standard Hayes modem command ATH. If your modem uses a
different command, enter it here. This command is prefixed with
,,,+++,,,. Hanging up can take up to three seconds.
