Operating modes: Modem Mode and TiXML Mode
TiXML Modus
Mitsubishi Alarm Modems (MAM) can handle a wide range of tasks automatically. These tasks
are written and configured in TiXML, a variant of the XML standard. This operating mode is
called TiXML Mode.

called TiXML Mode.
7.5.1
Alarm Editor MX-MAE activates the correct mode
If you always configure the Mitsubishi Alarm Modem with the MX-MAE software, you do not
have to worry about the two modes, as this tool will automatically activate the correct mode
(TiXML Mode). You can skip the rest of this section and continue reading at the chapter 8
"Software".

7.5.2
Using MAM without MX-MAE
Only if you are using the MAM without MX-MAE, for example:
쎲 because you wish to use the MAM for other programs just as a simple modem,
or
쎲 because you wish to work with a terminal program such as Windows Hyperterminal,
or
쎲 because you are programming a PLC that is required to send commands to the MAM,
or

you will have to take the difference between TiXML Mode and Modem Mode into account.
7.5.3
TiXML Mode
The task definition for TiXML Mode is loaded on the MAM by means of a project file (the configu-
ration file). These kinds of projects can be created with different software tools (e.g. MX-MAE).
MX-MAE will automatically switch a MAM to the correct mode, i.e. TiXML Mode. The user does
not have to worry about this.

MX-MAE will automatically switch a MAM to the correct mode, i.e. TiXML Mode. The user does
not have to worry about this.
After power on a MAM will always be in the last activated mode (TiXML Mode or Modem Mode).
The device can be set to the TiXML Mode with a factory reset (refer to section 10.2.3) so that it
can immediately start with the automatic tasks, e.g. send alarms in the event of faults.

7.5.4
Modem Mode (also AT mode)
Normal modems (AT modems) can do nothing “on their own” and are controlled by means of
simple communication commands, e.g.:
simple communication commands, e.g.:
쎲 “Dial a telephone number and connect me” and
쎲 “Terminate the connection and hang up.”
These modems always require a PC or a communication controller that executes the tasks
since they have no “intelligence” of their own and do not recognize any Internet protocols.

For greater compatibility, however, Mitsubishi Alarm Modems can also be switched to operating
like a normal AT modem. This is called Modem Mode, in which the red Mode LED will be lit.

PIN entry without MX-MAE (only GM series)
If you are not using MX-MAE, you must enter the PIN or SUPER PIN with TiXML or AT com-
mands by means of a terminal program. Therefore refer to the TiXML manual.
