To change your modem settings 
The modem is already set up to be compatible with telephone systems and modems in 
most areas. However, in some situations, you may have to change modem settings to 
match local conditions. If you have questions about local requirements, contact your 
telephone company. 
•  Control Panel. Open Modems (Windows ME, 95 or 98) or Phone And Modem 
Options (Windows 2000) in Control Panel to change many modem settings. (For 
Windows ME, if you do not see the Modems control panel, click on the View all 
Control Panels option.) 
For Windows ME, 95 or 98, on the General tab click Properties to set connection 
speeds or special dialing options. 
For Windows 2000, on the Modems tab click Properties to set connection speeds, or 
on the Dialing Rules tab click Edit to set dialing options. 
•  Communications software. Many communications applications provide options for 
controlling modem settings. See the help for your software. 
•  AT commands. You can control many aspects of modem operation using modem AT 
commands. AT commands are special strings of characters sent to the modem to set 
up specific conditions. Those command strings normally start with “AT”. For a list of 
AT commands for the built-in modem, see “Modem Reference Information” on 
page 129. 
For Windows ME, 95 or 98, open Modems in Control Panel. (For Windows ME, if 
you do not see the Modems control panel, click on the View all Control Panels 
option.) On the General tab, click Properties, then on the Connections tab click 
Advanced. You can type AT commands in the space for extra settings. 
For Windows 2000, open Phone And Modem Options in Control Panel. On the 
Modems tab, click Properties. You can type AT commands on the Advanced tab in 
the space for extra settings. 
For example, to force a built-in Ambit modem to connect with the V.34 modulation, you 
can use the +MS command as shown in table of AT commands—type AT+MS=11 in the 
space for extra settings.
