[comp.dcom.modems] T2500/Annex II setup?

bob@kahala.soest.hawaii.edu (Bob Cunningham) (09/20/90)

I'd appreciate advice on the correct way to set up a Telebit T2500
for incoming call use on an Annex II terminal server.

This doesn't quite work (modem goes off hook, but doesn't allow connections):

	RS232 cabling, besides the obvious TX, RX, GND (pins 2, 3, & 7):

		modem				Annex

		8  (DCD)	----		CTS
		20 (DTR)	----		DTR
	
	On the Annex side (everything else defaulted):

		speed			19200
		control_lines		modem_control
		type			cli
		inactivity_timer	60
		term_var		"vt100"
		bidirectional_modem	N
	
	On the T2500 side (everything else defaulted);

		S00=001			(answer 1st ring)
		S51:005			(interface at 19200)
		S52:002			(hard reset when DTR toggles)
		S54:003			(pass thru BREAK)
		S61:255			(speaker volume high)
		S66:001			(lock interface speed [at 19200])

I'm probably overlooking something obvious...but what?

I have access into an ANNEX as well and have found the the number of returns
and BREAKs that need to be sent changes depending on the inbound port that
I connect with (and we have 24 ports here)..  What a hassle --

Thanks to the friendly support folks at Telebit who pointed out that
unless "quieted", the modem would send status info (e.g., "RING")
to the terminal server, which would echo that...and when the
modem saw those characters being fed back to it during a connection,
it would immediately abort the connection sequence.

For future reference, this is what works for the T2500 (especially
note the Q6):
