Configuring your TA using a Terminal, program

Page 26 highlights

Configuring your TA using a Terminal program If you are not using the ISDN configuration utility that is packaged with the TA128, you will need a terminal program with which to configure the unit. The TA128 should work with any asynchronous terminal program that can communicate directly with one of the communication ports on your system. If you do not know how to use a terminal program, refer to the instructions that came with the terminal program. Make sure the program is set up to communicate with the COM port that the TA128 is connected to. You can check to see if the DTR LED is on when the terminal program is active. In most cases, if the terminal program is active and ready to communicate with the port that the TA128 is connected to, it will activate the DTR signal. This will cause the DTR LED to light up. If the DTR LED is not ON, you will need to check the program's settings. The communication speed can be set to anywhere between 2,400bps and 460,800bps, but 115,200bps is a good default value. The TA128 will automatically adjust its speed to match your communication speed. Once the terminal communication program is ready, you can type a simple command to see if the TA128 responds. Type: AT TA128 should respond: OK Type: ATI TA128 should respond: 1281 14

Configuring your TA using a Terminal
program
If you are not using the ISDN configuration utility that is packaged
with the TA128, you will need a terminal program with which to
configure the unit. The TA128 should work with any asynchronous
terminal program that can communicate directly with one of the
communication ports on your system. If you do not know how to
use a terminal program, refer to the instructions that came with the
terminal program.
Make sure the program is set up to communicate with the COM
port that the TA128 is connected to. You can check to see if the
DTR LED is on when the terminal program is active. In most cases,
if the terminal program is active and ready to communicate with
the port that the TA128 is connected to, it will activate the DTR
signal. This will cause the DTR LED to light up. If the DTR LED is
not ON, you will need to check the program’s settings.
The communication speed can be set to anywhere between
2,400bps and 460,800bps, but 115,200bps is a good default value.
The TA128 will automatically adjust its speed to match your
communication speed.
Once the terminal communication program is ready, you can type a
simple command to see if the TA128 responds.
Type:
AT<Enter>
TA128 should respond:
OK
Type:
ATI<Enter>
TA128 should respond:
