P r oduct Descr ipt o n
This modem supports two-wire and/or four-wire leased lines. The four-wire leased line includes the dial backup and automatic leased line restoration features. Please note that, because leased-line operation consists of two client modems connected to each other, the maximum leased line data rate is 33.6K bps.
The MT5600BA-V.92 modem supports both two-wire and four-wire leased lines.
The MT5600BA modem supports a two-wire leased line.
The MT5600BL modem supports a four-wire leased line.
The MultiModemII offers interactive automatic dialing. You can store four command lines or telephone numbers of up to 30 characters each in the modem’s nonvolatile memory. The modem pulse- or tonedials, and recognizes dial tones and busy signals for reliable call-progress detection. It can also detect
AT&T calling card tones. It is FCC-registered for connection to telephone networks without notification to the telephone company.
The MultiModemII front panel includes a liquid crystal display and four buttons, which together can be used to either display the current connection status of the modem or to configure the modem. The

ATI5<CR>
Example
1.
Type AT+GCI=B5<CR> to set B5 as your country/region code.
2.
Type AT+GCI?<CR> or ATI5<CR> to verify that B5 was set.
B5 indicates the configuration is set for any B5 country such as Canada and the United
States.
Step 4 - Inst al l Pho neT oo
Note: PhoneTools may or may not be included on the MultiModemII CD according to your company's preference.
Data communications software gives you access to commands that govern how the modem operates; that is, how the modem handles incoming and outgoing data streams, etc.
MultiTech includes a data communications software package (PhoneTools) on the product CD shipped with your modem. In general, the modem will work with most data communications software packages.
1.
Insert the MultiModemII CD into your CD-ROM drive. Allow Autorun to bring up the introductory screen.
2.
Click on the PhoneTools icon and choose the appropriate language.
3.
Follow the PhoneTools installation wizard. No input is needed. You may choose to view the
“Readme” file and whether or not to run PhoneTools immediately.
Windows NT/2000/XP Note: During installation, an advisory screen may appear saying “FAX capture driver installation” - this may cause a delay in the installation. This is normal. The installation process has not failed or stalled. Simply wait a few moments until this screen disappears.
4. After installation, you can launch PhoneTools either from a desktop icon or from the Start |
Programs menu. Typically, it’s not necessary to reboot before using PhoneTools.

Chapter 3 - Using the Front Panel
C hapter 3 - Using t he Fr o nt P anel
Like any modem, your Multi-Tech modem operates only under the control of a communication program, such as the PhoneTools program included with the modem. It also operates under other general-purpose data communication programs, such as Windows Terminal and HyperTerminal. For information on how to use the modem with the communication program of your choice, please refer to the program’s documentation.
Mod em C o nf ig ur a t o n
Your modem normally is configured through Windows or through the communication program you are using. The default settings work best for most purposes. See “Step 4: Install PhoneTools” in Chapter 2 for help in setting up your communication program.
You also can configure your modem either through the front panel or by sending AT commands to the modem. The AT commands can be found in the AT Reference Guide on the CD shipped with this modem.
Figure 3-1. Front panel
The MT5600BA-V.92 has six LED indicators on the front panel that indicate status and activity:
Receive Data. The RD indicator flashes when the modem is receiving data.
Transmit Data. The TD indicator flashes when the modem is transmitting data.
Carrier Detect.
The CD indicator lights when the modem detects a valid carrier signal from another modem. It is on when the modem is communicating with the other modem, and off when the link is broken.
Off-Hook.
The OH indicator lights when the modem is off-hook, which occurs when the modem is dialing, online, or answering a call. The LED flashes when the modem pulse-dials.
Terminal Ready.
The TR indicator lights when a communication program is using the modem. It means the modem is ready for an outgoing or incoming call. It goes off when the communication program disconnects the serial port. When it goes off, a connected modem will disconnect.
Test Mode.
The TM indicator lights when the modem is in test mode.

Chapter 4 - Leased Line Operation
C hapter 4 - L e ased Line Oper a t o n
This chapter describes how to use the MultiModemII modem on a leased line.
A leased line is a private, permanent, telephone connection between two points. Unlike normal dialup connections, a leased line is always active. The modems automatically connect when they are attached to the line and are turned on . Because a leased line is always active, one of the two modems on the line must be configured as the originate modem and the other as the answer modem; however, it does not matter which is which.
In the event of an interruption, leased line modems automatically reconnect when the data line or power is restored. The modem also supports dial backup, which enables the modem to automatically switch to a dial-up connection if the leased line goes down.
The modem supports both two-wire and four-wire leased-line operation.
w oW ir e Set up
1. For two-wire leased line operation on the MT5600BA modem, connect the provided modular telephone cable to the LINE jack. For two-wire leased line operation on the MT5600BL modem, connect the provided modular telephone cable to the LEASED jack. Connect the other end of the cable to the two-wire leased line jack or terminals supplied by the telephone company.

Chapter 4 - Leased Line Operation
Dial B a c kup and L e ased-Line R esto r al
For four-wire leased line operation, the MT5600BA-V.92 modem has a dial backup capability, in which the modem is connected to a standard dial-up line as well as to the leased line. If the leased line fails, the originate modem automatically dials and connects to the answer modem through the standard telephone network. While it is in dial backup mode, the modem periodically checks the leased line to see if it is operational. If the line is operational, the modem then attempts to restore the leased line. If the modem detects that it is not connected to the standard telephone network when the leased line fails, it immediately switches to leased line restoral.
The dial-back timer, register S17 , determines how long the modem waits after a leased line failure before it attempts a dial backup connection. The S17 default setting is one minute. During that minute, the originate modem tries to establish the leased line link. If the leased line is established during that time, the S17 timer is cleared and everything is back to normal. If the timer expires, the modem attempts a dial backup connection. The purpose of the timer for the answer modem is to determine when it can accept a dial-up call. Dial-back starts only when both timers have expired and the leased line is still down.
The restore timer, register S15 , determines how frequently restoral attempts occur when the modems are in dial backup mode. S15 can be set from 10 to 255 minutes in one minute increments. A value of 0 disables dial backup. The default value is 30 minutes.
Note: Register S15 must be set identically on the local and remote modems.
The dial backup number must be set from the front panel of the modem.

Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration
C hapter 5 - R emote C o nf ig ur a t o n
Remote configuration is a network management tool that allows you to configure modems anywhere in your network from one location. With password-protected remote configuration, you can issue AT commands to a remote MultiModemII modem for maintenance or troubleshooting as if you were on-site.
B asi c P r oc edur e
The following steps are valid regardless of whether the connection is established by the local or the remote MultiModemII modem.
1.
Establish a data connection with a remote MT5600BA-V.92 modem.
2.
Send three asterisks to initiate remote configuration. The remote modem responds:
Online Remote Access
Remote password:
3.
Type the remote configuration password, and then press E
NTER
. The default is “MULTITECH.” It is not case-sensitive.
•
If the password is incorrect, the word CONNECT appears, and the local modem is returned to online mode.
•
If the password is correct, an >AT_ command prompt appears.
4.
Type AT commands to configure the remote modem. It is not necessary to precede the commands with “AT.”
5.
When you have finished configuring the remote modem, type *E and press E
NTER
to exit remote configuration mode and return to online data mode. You can now break the connection in the normal way.
Note: The dialing command is not allowed in remote configuration mode.

To improve security, you can change a remote modem’s remote configuration escape character. The remote configuration escape character is stored in register S13 . The factory default is 42, which is the
ASCII code for the asterisk character (*). Setting S13 to 0 (zero) disables remote configuration entirely— but if you do this remotely, you won’t be able to change it back remotely!
1. Establish a remote configuration link with the remote modem as described in
“Basic Procedure.”

Chapter 6 - Callback Security
C hapter 6 - Cal ba c k Se cur it y
This chapter describes how to use callback security with your modem.
Callback security protects your network from unauthorized access and helps control long distance costs.
When callback security is enabled, all callers are requested to enter a password. If the password is invalid, the caller can try twice more before the modem hangs up. If the password is valid, the modem hangs up and returns the call by dialing the phone number associated with the password.
It is possible to implement password protection without callback by storing a hyphen (-) before the callback phone number. The caller must then append a hyphen to his password to establish the direct connection.
The modem can store up to 30 callback phone numbers and 30 callback passwords. Phone numbers can be up to 30 characters long and can contain the pause (,) and wait (W) characters in addition to the digits and characters normally found on a touch-tone keypad. Passwords can be up to 10 characters long.
Callback phone numbers are associated with callback passwords by being assigned to the same callback memory location. For example, if you assign the password “APRICOT” to memory location 16 and, in a separate operation, also assign phone number 6127853000 to memory location 16, the modem calls phone number 6127853000 when it receives the password “APRICOT.”
Because there is no way to examine the passwords and phone numbers stored in the modem, it is important to write them down as you enter them. A form that you can print out for this purpose is provided on the last page of this chapter.

Use the following procedure to call a modem that has callback security enabled.
Note: Autoanswer must be enabled on the calling modem ( S0=1 or S0=2 ).
1. Using a data communication program such as HyperTerminal, dial the number of the callback modem.
2. When the connection is established, the callback modem responds with a request for a password.
3. Type the password for your modem, and then press E
NTER
. You have three attempts to enter a valid password or be disconnected.
4. If the password is valid, the callback modem disconnects. Then, after a short delay, it calls the number associated with the password and establishes a working connection.
Note: If you are calling a direct connect number, you must append a hyphen (-) to the password. If the corresponding phone number has - as its first character, you will be able to go directly online with the callback modem. If the corresponding phone number has no - character, you will be prompted for a different password.

Your modem was thoroughly tested at the factory before it was shipped. If you are unable to make a successful connection, or if you experience data loss or garbled characters during your connection, it is possible that the modem is defective. However, it is more likely that the source of your problem lies elsewhere. The following symptoms are typical of problems you might encounter:
•
None of the LEDs light when the modem is on.
• The modem does not respond to commands.
•
The modem cannot connect when dialing.
•
The modem disconnects while online.
•
The modem cannot connect when answering.
• File transfer is slower than it should be.
• Data is being lost.
•
There are garbage characters on the monitor.
• The modem doesn’t work with Caller ID.
• Fax and data software can’t run at the same time.
If you experience problems, please check the following possibilities before calling Technical Support (see
Appendix C).
No ne of t he Indi c a to rs Ligh t
When you turn on the modem, the LED indicators on the front panel should flash briefly as the modem runs a self-test, and the liquid crystal display (LCD) should light. If the LEDs and LCD remain off, the modem is probably not receiving power.
•
Make sure the modem’s power switch is on, especially if you normally turn the modem on by turning on a power strip.
• If the modem is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is plugged in and its power switch is on.
•
Make sure the transformer module is firmly connected to the modem and to the wall outlet or power strip.
• If the power strip is on and the modem switch is on, try moving the transformer module to another outlet on the power strip.
•
Test that the outlet is live by plugging another device, such as a lamp, into it.
• The modem or transformer module may be defective. If you have another Multi-Tech modem, try swapping modems. If the problem goes away, the first modem or transformer module may be defective. Call Technical Support for assistance.
CAUTION: Do not under any circumstances replace the transformer module with one designed for another product; doing so can damage the modem and void your warranty.

Make sure the modem is plugged in and turned on. (See “None of the Indicators Light.”)
Make sure you are issuing the modem commands from data communication software, either manually in terminal mode or automatically by configuring the software. (You cannot send commands to the modem from the DOS prompt.)
Make sure you are in terminal mode in your data communication program, then type AT and press
E
NTER
. If you get an OK response from your modem, your connections are good and the problem likely is in the connection setup in your communication software.
Try resetting your modem by turning it off and on. If you are using DOS or Windows 3.1
communication software, make sure the initialization string includes &F as the first command, to cancel any “leftover’ command that could affect the modem’s operation.
If you don’t get an OK, the problem may still be in the communication software. Make sure you have done whatever is necessary in your software to make a port connection. Not all communication programs connect to the COM port automatically. Some connect when the software loads and remain connected until the program terminates. Others can disconnect without exiting the program.
The modem’s TR indicator lights to show that the software has taken control of the modem through the COM port.
Your communication software settings may not match the physical port the modem is connected to.
The serial cable might be plugged into the wrong connector—check your computer documentation to make sure. Or you might have selected a COM port in your software other than the one the modem is physically connected to—compare the settings in your software to the physical connection.
If the modem is on, the cable is plugged into the correct port, the communication software is configured correctly, and you still don’t get an OK, the fault might be in the serial cable. Make sure it is firmly connected at both ends.
Is this the first time you have used the cable? If so, it may not be wired correctly. Check the cable description on the packaging to make sure the cable is the right one for your computer.
Peripheral expansion cards, such as sound and game cards, might include a serial port preconfigured as COM1 or COM2. The extra serial port, or the card itself, may use the same COM port, memory address, or interrupt request (IRQ) as your communication port. Be sure to disable any unused ports.
Windows 3.1x: To look for address or IRQ conflicts, in Program Manager select File | Run , type
MSD , and press E
NTER
. Then select Mouse , COM Ports , and IRQ Status , and note the addresses and IRQs that are in use. If you find an IRQ conflict, note which IRQs are not being used, then change one of the conflicting devices to use one of the unused IRQs. If you find an address conflict, change the address of one of the conflicting devices.
To change a port address or IRQ in Windows 3.1x, double-click the Control Panel icon, then the
Ports icon. Click on the port you want to change, click Settings , click Advanced , and select the new port address and/or interrupt. If you wish to use COM3 or COM4, note that COM3 shares an
IRQ with COM1, as does COM4 with COM2, so you should change their IRQs to unused ones, if possible.

There can be several reasons the modem fails to make a connection. Possibilities include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
• lack of a physical connection to the telephone line.
a wrong dial tone.
a busy signal.
a wrong number.
no modem at the other end.
a faulty modem, computer, or software at the other end.
incompatibility between modems.
You can narrow the list of possibilities by using extended result codes. Extended result codes are enabled by default. If they have been disabled, include V1X4 in the modem’s initialization string, or in terminal mode enter ATV1X4 and press ENTER. When you dial again, the modem reports the call’s progress.
• If the modem reports NO DIALTONE, check that the modem’s telephone line cable is connected to both the modem’s LINE jack (not the PHONE jack) and the telephone wall jack. If the cable looks secure, try replacing it. If that doesn’t work, the problem might be in your building’s telephone installation. To test the building installation, plug a telephone into your modem’s telephone wall jack and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, your modem might be installed behind a corporate phone system (PBX) with an internal dial tone that sounds different from the normal dial tone. In that case, the modem might not recognize the dial tone and might treat it as an error. Check your
PBX manual to see if you can change the internal dial tone; if you can’t, change your modem’s initialization string to replace X4 with X3 , which will cause the modem to ignore dial tones (note, however, that X3 is not allowed in some countries, such as France and Spain).

If the modem reports BUSY, the other number might be busy, in which case you should try again later, or it might indicate that you have failed to add a 9, prefix to the phone number if you must dial
9 for an outside line.
If you must dial 9 to get an outside line, the easiest way to dial it automatically is to include it in the modem’s dial prefix, e.g., ATDT9, . Note the comma, which inserts a pause before the number is dialed. By inserting 9, into the dial prefix, you do not have to include it in each directory entry.
To change the dial prefix in Windows 95 HyperTerminal, select Connect from the Call menu, click
Dialing Properties , and type 9 in the local and long distance boxes in How I dial from this location .
If the modem reports NO ANSWER, the other system has failed to go off-hook, or you might have dialed a wrong number. Check the number.
If the modem reports NO CARRIER, the phone was answered at the other end, but no connection was made. You might have dialed a wrong number, and a person answered instead of a computer, or you might have dialed the correct number but the other computer or software was turned off or faulty. Check the number and try again, or try calling another system to make sure your modem is working. Also, try calling the number on your telephone. If you hear harsh sounds, then another modem is answering the call, and the modems might be having problems negotiating because of modem incompatibilities or line noise. Try connecting at a lower speed.

If you have Call Waiting on the same phone line as your modem, it can interrupt your connection when someone tries to call you. If you have Call Waiting, disable it before each call. In most telephone areas in North America, you can disable Call Waiting by preceding the telephone number with *70 (check with your local telephone company).
You can automatically disable Call Waiting by including the disabling code in the modem’s dial prefix (e.g., ATDT*70, —note the comma, which inserts a pause before the number is dialed). To change the dial prefix in Windows Terminal, select Settings | Modem Commands . To change it in
HyperTerminal, select Connect from the Call menu, click Dialing Properties , check This location has Call Waiting , and select the correct code for your phone service.
If you have extension phones on the same line as your modem, you or someone else can interrupt the connection by picking up another phone. If this is a frequent problem, disconnect the extension phones before using the modem, or install another phone line especially for the modem.
Check for loose connections between the modem and the computer, the telephone jack, and AC power.
You might have had a poor connection because of line conditions or the problem might have originated on the other end of the line. Try again.
If you were online, it might have hung up on you because of lack of activity on your part or because you exceeded your time limit for the day. Try again.

You might have an older UART. For best throughput, install a 16550AFN UART or a Multi-Tech ISI serial port card.
If you are running under Windows 3.1 and have a 16550AFN UART, you must replace the
Windows serial driver, COMM.DRV, to take full advantage of the UART’s speed.
If you are using a slow transfer protocol, such as Xmodem, try Zmodem or Ymodem/G instead.
Is your line noisy? If there is static on your line, the modem has to resend many blocks of data to insure accuracy. You must have a clean line for maximum speed.
Are you downloading a compressed file with MNP 5 hardware compression enabled? Since hardware data compression cannot compress a file already compressed by an archiving program, the transfer can be marginally slower with data compression enabled than with it disabled.
Does your Internet service provider (ISP) use the same 56K protocol as your modem? The default setting of your modem is to connect using either the 56K or the V.90 protocol, depending on which one the ISP modem is using. If your ISP uses the X2 protocol, the maximum speed you will be able to connect at is 33,600 bps. Check with your ISP to see which protocols it supports, and check the
Multi-Tech Web site for the latest developments in V.92.

4.
This device is equipped with pulse dialing, while the Telecom standard is DTMF tone dialing. There is no guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialing.
Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as other equipment, may give rise to ‘bell tinkle’ or noise and may also cause a false answer condition. Should such problems occur, the user should not contact the Telecom Faults Service.
The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones, as this is faster than pulse (decadic) dialing and is readily available on almost all New Zealand telephone exchanges.
5.
Warning Notice: No ‘111’ or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure.
6.
This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected to the same line.
7.
Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s Telepermit requirements are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom’s Specifications:
For repeat calls to the same number:
• There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30-minute period for any single manual call initiation, and
• The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt.
For automatic calls to different numbers:
• The equipment shall be set to ensure that automatic calls to different numbers are spaced such that there is no less than 5 seconds between the end of one call attempt and the beginning of another.
For automatically answered incoming calls:
• The equipment shall be set to ensure that calls are answered between 3 and 30 seconds of receipt of ringing.

Appendix C - Upgrading the Firmware
Appendix D - Upg r a ding t he
Fir m w ar e
Int r oduct o n
Your modem is controlled by semi-permanent software, called firmware, which is stored in flash memory.
Firmware is nonvolatile; that is, it remains stored in memory when the modem is turned off. However, it can be changed by either the manufacturer or the user as bugs are fixed or new features are added.
Since the firmware in your modem is stored in flash memory, you can upgrade it yourself in a few minutes by using the following procedures.
Upg r a d e O v er v e w
The upgrade procedure consists of the following steps, which are described in greater detail in the following sections.
1.
Identify the model number and firmware version of your modem.
2.
Identify the current version of the firmware at the Multi-Tech Web site. If your modem already has the current firmware, there is no need to update it.
3.
Download the upgrade file for your modem.
4.
Extract the firmware .HEX file and the appropriate flash upgrade program from the file you downloaded.
5.
Document and clear your stored parameters.
6.
Upgrade the modem’s firmware using the .HEX file and the flash upgrade program.
7.
Restore your parameters.
Step 1 - Id ent if y t he Mod em Fir m w ar e
You must know the model number and firmware version of your Multi-Tech modem to know whether or not you should update it.
1.
Run your favorite terminal program. If you are using Windows, you can use HyperTerminal.
2.
In the program’s terminal window, type AT&F . Even if you cannot see the AT&F command on your screen, be sure to type it completely, and then press Enter. If the modem does not respond with OK, repeat the AT&F command.
3.
Now type ATI3 , press Enter and record your results. The firmware version should appear first in the response, which should look similar to the following:
ACF3_V1.702a_V90_P21_FSH
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. MT5600BA/BL Series User Guide (S000276E) 53
Appendix C - Upgrading the Firmware
Step 2 - Id ent if y t he Cur r ent Fir m w ar e
V ersi o n
Identify the current version of the firmware at the Multi-Tech Web site. If your modem already has the current firmware, there is no need to update it.
1.
Using your favorite Web browser, go to http://www.multitech.com/support/MultiModemII/ firmware.asp
.
2.
Scroll down the table to your modem model number.
3.
Look at the firmware version number for your modem.
4.
If the firmware version number matches the firmware version number found in “Step 1: Identify the
Modem Firmware,” your modem has the current firmware version, and does not need to be updated.
5.
If the firmware version number is greater than the firmware version number found in “Step 1: Identify the Modem Firmware,” your modem has an older firmware version. Continue with “Step 3: Download the Upgrade File.”
Warning: The first digit of the new firmware must match the first digit of the old firmware, or the modem may not work properly; e.g., if your current firmware version is 4.16, replace it only with 4.xx firmware, not
6.xx firmware.
Step 3 - D o w nloa d t he Upg r a d e File
1.
If you are not already at the MultiModemII Firmware page of the Multi-Tech Web site, follow the procedure in “Step 2: Identify the Current Firmware.”
2.
Download the upgrade file for your modem by clicking its name, and save the file in a temporary folder on your hard disk.
3.
In the same section of the Web page, click the Flash Wizard utility for your operating system to download it, and save it in the same folder.
Step 4 - Ex t r a ct t he Upg r a d e Files
1.
Install the Flash Wizard utility by double-clicking the file name in Windows Explorer.
2.
Extract the upgrade files by double-clicking the file name. The extracted files include a .HEX file, which contains the upgrade data, and a Readme file.
3.
Copy the upgrade .HEX file into the Flash Wizard folder, which, in a default installation, is at
C:\Program Files\MultiTech Systems\Flash Wizard\.

Appendix C - Upgrading the Firmware
Step 5 - C le ar Y our Sto r ed P ar amenters
3.
4.
Before you flash your modem, you should record the parameters that are currently stored in it, so you can reprogram it after flashing. After you have recorded them, send the AT&F command to the the modem to clear the stored parameters.
1.
2.
Run your favorite terminal program. If you are using Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, or
Windows 2000, you can use HyperTerminal.
In the program’s terminal window, type AT&V and press Enter to list your modem’s current parameters.
Record your parameters by saving the screens and sending them to your printer.
5.
Type AT&F and press Enter to clear your stored parameters and reset your modem to factory default.
Close the terminal program.
Step 6 - Upg r a d e t he Mod em s Fir m w ar e
Before you begin the following procedure, read the README.TXT file extracted from the upgrade archive file. Note the file name for the boot code (e.g., F35ALOAD.S37) and the file name for the new firmware
(e.g., BKQG300G.HEX).
WARNING: Never install an older version of firmware over a newer version. Doing this WILL DESTROY
THE FLASH PROM! If the flash PROM is destroyed, the modem must be sent in for repair.
1.
Run Flash Wizard by double-clicking its icon or file name, or by selecting it from the Start menu. The
Identifying Devices dialog box is displayed as Flash Wizard locates and identifies the devices connected to your system.
Note: If the message ERROR: No valid devices detected is displayed, verify that the modem is turned on and that all cables are correctly and securely attached.
2.
Click the modem to be upgraded, and then click Next to proceed.
3.
Select the port to be upgraded from the Port list, select the appropriate .HEX file from the Hex File list, and then click Next to continue.
Note: Do not use FLASHLDR.HEX. This file is used internally by Flash Wizard.
4.
The Progress dialog box appears, showing a status bar that indicates the progress of the upgrade.
Caution: Any disruption of the program during this stage of the upgrade can cause your modem to become inoperable. Wait for the Next button to become active before proceeding.
5.
When the flash upgrade is complete, the message Programming Complete appears. Click Next to continue.
6.
The Results dialog box appears next. Click Finish to exit Flash Wizard.
Step 7 - R esto r e Y our P ar ameters
Your modem has been updated. You can now open your terminal program to reprogram your modem parameters or to confirm the update by typing ATI3 in the terminal window and pressing Enter.
