Preparation 2-3
Configuration worksheets are provided in Appendix D as a convenient
means of collecting and organizing this information.
Modems/ISDN TAs
1 Check to be sure the modems or terminal adapters you intend to use
are on the built-in modem list (or check the modem list in the Release
Notes). This list contains all modems or terminal adapters that have
been tested by 3Com and are supported for use with the AccessBuilder.
If your modems/terminal adapters are not on the list, you may need to
contact the manufacturer for assistance if script information is not provided
in the modem documentation.
For ISDN installations, refer to the AccessBuilder 4000 ISDN Basic Rate
Interface (BRI) Module Installation Guide for ISDN installation procedures.
All modems have unique AT command sets, even those claiming to be
“AT-compatible.” Use of an improper modem script may result in
transmission disruption, loss of carrier, failure of modems to answer,
slow response time and other serious problems that will hamper overall
performance. 3Com highly recommends using modems on the
AccessBuilder’s built-in modem list.
