Motorola 3460 User Manual

To operate the modem using mostly pre-configured options (an option 
set), follow the instructions here. To set advanced options, follow the 
instructions in the next chapter. 

To get started, you’ll need:

• A computer, cabled to the modem

• A communications program, which may be:

— A general-purpose program to set fax options and dial into 

an on-line service, using asynchronous (async) protocols 

— A remote control program to operate a host computer or 

access a host network, using synchronous (sync) or async 
protocols

(You do not need a communications program to configure a 
modem that has the four-button/LCD front panel.)

If you don’t know which type of communications you’ll use, check with 
your network administrator. 

The Vanguard 3460 V.34 Daughtercard’s default option set uses an 
async protocol. However, the 3460 Daughtercard does not have a 
computer port, so it cannot be cabled directly to a personal computer. 

To configure the 3460 Daughtercard, connect a personal computer to the 
modem card network-management port, and use Fast’RVu to set 
options. Or, to configure for async applications only, set the modem’s 
Pass Through option. To do this, establish a call from one Vanguard port 
(e.g., a CTP or PAD) to the 3460 Vanguard daughtercard port, and echo 
AT commands through to the modem.
