Configuring the Modem
Before you can use the ARMC card’s modem, you must first configure it to receive
incoming calls and send outgoing calls.
Outgoing Calls

must configure the modem to send outgoing calls. Use the following steps to configure
the modem to send outgoing calls:

2 Left click the Advanced tab and then left click on the Modem Configuration icon. The following screen
appears:
Locate the Internal Modem table. Use the following values:

cannot change it.
Speed This dropdown menu allows you to set the baud rate of the modem. Set this value to the
highest available baud rate that your Remote Access Server (RAS) or ISP supports.
Modem Init
String
This field allows you to enter a modem Init string that you want the ARMC card’s
modem to use. You can leave this field blank.
