B.5 Modem Configuration Checklist
Most modem problems are caused by cabling mistakes or incorrect modem 
conÞguration. However, the following items should be veriÞed after any 
modem conÞguration, and re-checked when there is modem trouble.
¥
The modem must disconnect immediately when DTR is de-asserted.
¥
The modem must assert CD (or DSR, if connected) when connected 
to another modem. It must not assert CD when disconnected. The 
modem may optionally assert CD during outbound dialing.
¥
The modem and MSS must agree on the ßow control method and 
baud rate scheme.
¥
The modem must not send result codes or messages to the server 
except optionally during outgoing calls.
¥
The modem should be set to restore its conÞguration from non-
volatile memory when DTR is dropped.
¥
The modem should be conÞgured to answer the phone if incoming 
connections are to be supported. Generally this is done with the 
ats0=1 command.
¥
The modem should not be conÞgured to answer the phone unless 
the MSS asserts DTR.
¥
MSS Modem control must be enabled. Using modems on ports 
without modem control enabled will lead to security problems. 
The MSS Autobaud feature should be enabled only when required.
