Global Modem Configuration

Windows® Users

Before using your modem, you must configure it for country- or region-specific operation. This is also true if you move the modem to a different region after it has been configured for country- or region-specific operation.

To make configuration easy, we include a Global System compact disc (CD) with each Global Modem. The CD includes a Windows-based utility, called Global Wizard, which automatically configures the modem for country- or region-specific operation, and manuals written in multiple languages.

Non-Windows® Users

For non-Windows users, the modem configuration chart lists the AT commands used to configure a global modem for use within approved countries or regions.

MultiModem® ZPX, MultiModem® ZBA, MultiModem® IND, and MultiModem® USB Configuration

You'll need to use a terminal (or run a data communications program on your computer) to communicate with the modem and issue the command. Use the following syntax, substituting the appropriate country code value:

AT%T19,0,country_code in HEX

Then save the changes by issuing the following command:

AT&F&W

The first command configures the modem for use within a specific country or region; the second stores the new setting as the default.

To verify that the correct region has been configured, issue the following command:

ATI9

The result is a region code displayed in decimal format.  Result codes are cross-referenced in the modem configuration chart.

MultiModemII Configuration

To set the country code on the MultiModemII (model MT5600BA-V92), simply perform the following steps using the modem's front-panel controls and LCD display.

Global Modem Configuration Commands and Result Codes

The following controls allow you to select the country and/or product for which you require global modem approval information. The result of your selection lists each country (if only the product is selected), its localization kit and telco offerings, followed by each Multi-Tech global modem for that country (if a specific product is not selected). The line of information for each product lists its status, configuration string and response code.

Note: Most products with global approvals will work in every country, but for many of the countries the product has not gone through PTT homologation. This is indicated by a gray "-" in the status field.
