8. Complete the input with "OK" and select the 10-bit communications mode. 9. Terminate with "OK". Since the AT command for saving the initialization has to be sent separately, you have to do this either with Hyperterminal or through the entries for the remote (lower) modem. Proceed as follows: 1. Double-click the remote (lower) modem and from the drop-down menu select the name entered previously for the connection (last entry).

Set up a connection from the modem to a SIMATIC S7-200 by working through the following steps: 1. Start STEP 7 Micro/WIN V3 and in the "Communications" window select the PC/PPI cable as communications hardware. 2. Open the Properties for the PC/PPI cable and check or make the following settings: PPI Baud rate 9600 Local Connection COM Port Activate "Modem connection"

3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Select the port to which the modem is connected In the ensuing window click the local (upper) modem. In the drop-down menu select the connection names for the modem. Click the "Configure..." function. Connect the local modem. Select the "Program/Test" function to transfer the initialization statements to the modem. The return message "Successful" must be displayed. Complete initialization with "OK". Check or select the 10-bit communications mode and acknowledge with "OK". Select the remote (lower) modem. Select the "Configure..." function and with "Program/Test" transfer the command for saving the initialization to the modem. The return message "Successful" must be displayed.

Now all the necessary settings have been made on the ELSA MicroLink 56k FUN modem for it to be able to be used for Teleservice with a SIMATIC S7-200. You must proceed in exactly the same way for the second modem. Note: The procedure described is different from that described in the SIMATIC S7-200 system manual. The two entries for the local and remote modems are not used separately in this procedure. Since the command for saving the initialization has to be sent separately to the modem, it is the simplest solution. Description of the initialization: AT&F ATE0 ATQ0 AT&D0 ATX3 ATS0=1 AT+IFC=0,0 AT&W0 Prefix: ATDT Hang up: Tone dialing (ATDP = pulse dialing) Reset to default settings Suppress echo from modem Return messages from modem on Ignore DTR status change Ignore dial tone; evaluate busy tone Lift off after first ring Local data flow control off Save configuration in Profile 0
