CMSInter.Net Modem Initialization Strings (Extra Settings)
Listed Alphabetically by Modem
manufacturer.
Extra Settings can be added by clicking on
- Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Modems
- Select your modem and
click Properties
- Select the Connection
tab at the top
- Click the Advanced
button at the bottom right
- Add the Extra Setting
at the bottom
- Click OK, then
OK again and retry the connection
NOTE:
Many of the initialization strings listed here will disable 56k in an effort to
get your modem connected, and keep it from dropping the connection. Those specifically
designed to turn on V90 are listed as such. If your modem requires a 56k disable
string to get you connected at all, we recommend 2 courses of action. First, visit
your modem or PC manufacturer's web page and search for any Driver or Firmware Upgrades.
If you already have the latest drivers, or the update was no help, you will need
to contact your local telephone carrier regarding Line Noise and Signal Strength.

If you are using the PCI version of the SupraMax modem,
try the following initialization string in your dialing software:
AT&F+MR=1;+MS=V34
If you are using the ISA version of the
SupraMax modem, try the following initialization string in your dialing software:
AT&FW2+MS=V34
AT+MS=V90
to try and establish V90

Diamond support advises AT&F1 W2 for all supra's. Add +MS=11,0 to get connected at v.34
As well, setting it to the Windows 98 Standard 56k Modem Driver will work.

LT chipset
For Apollo (LT WinModem)
and Mars(LT PCI WinModem)
chipsets:
Enable V.90 -V90=1
Disable V.90 -V90=0
Venus chipsets (mostly used in external modems):
K56Flex only (V.90 disabled) S109=0
K56Flex or V.90
S109=1
V.90 only (K56Flex disabled) S109=2
The correct string to get v.34 from a Venus chipset
is S109=2S109=0
For Lucent-based K56flex modems that do not also support V.90, add S38=0 to the
end of your modem init string.
Examples of sample ATI Responses -
ATI3: LT 56K data+fax modem version 4.15
ATI4: 70 ----> this is NOT the LT WinModem with v.90
ATI5: 4.15,9,19
ATI6: ok
ATI4: 54 or 57----> this is
the 33.6 LT WinModem
ATI4: 70 ----> this is the data/fax modem LT put out. It has
KFlex
ATI4: 72 ----> this is the LT WinModem with v.90

this one disables v90 and is SUPPOSED to revert the modem to x2, but it actually
reverts it to v34, but if you have line noise as a connection factor, this is the
one that will keep it connected.

Rockwell ISA Boards:
usually represented by ATI3 : vx.xxx-k56(or V90)_DLP or something
AT command fix : +MS=11,0
Rockwell PCI Boards: (HCF)
usually represented by ATI3 : v2.1.2.xxx.x
AT command fix : +MS=V34
Remember that a Rockwell-based K56Flex modem upgraded
to V.90 no longer supports K56Flex
For most Rockwell ISA chipsets:
V.90 preferred(K56Flex will still work) +MS=12,1
Disable V.90 and K56Flex, use V.34 +MS=11,1
Rockwell HCF chipsets:
V.90 preferred(K56Flex will still work) +MS=V90
K56Flex preferred(V.90 will still work) +MS=K56FLEX
Disable V.90 and K56Flex, use V.34 +MS=V34

For example, to limit connection speed to 48k use:
AT+MS=V90,0,14400,48000,14400,48000

Viking
Direct from Viking. Below are the init strings for our Rockwell chipset modems.
Use the one that works best with the connection you have. You can eliminate the
part before the + if it has an adverse effect.
Rockwell Chipset Modems:
V.90 Preferred, K56Flex Enabled : AT&FW2+MS=12,1
V.90 Only, K56Flex Disabled : AT&FW2+MS=12,1,34667,56000
K56Flex Preferred, V.90 Enabled : AT&FW2+MS=56,1
K56Flex Only, V.90 Disabled : AT&FW2+MS=56,1,34000,56000
Disable Both K56Flex and V.90, 28.8/33.6 Only : AT&FW2+MS=11,1
For the LT based Viking modems try...
AT&FW2S109=2 this will force a v90 connection (if possible)

+MS=V32B Attempts to make a v.32bis connection
+MS=V32 Attempts to make a v.32 connection
S37=19 Attempts to connect at 33600 Kbps
S37=17 Attempts to connect at 28000 Kbps

NOTE: The commas in the above commands are required. They represent
the default values for that command string position.
Zoltrix
ATZ
1. V.42bis Auto Init String: AT&F&C1&D2W2
This configuration should be the only configuration required
to make all possible connections.
2. V.42/MNP4 Auto Init String: AT&F&C1&D2W2S46=136%C0
This configuration is the same as V.42bis Auto except
that all compression is turned off (V.42bis and MNP5 disabled).
3. MNP5 Init String: AT&F&C1&D2W2S48=128
This configuration will bypass the V.42bis and V.42 negotiation
and attempt MNP5 first.
4. MNP4 Init String: AT&F&C1&D2W2S48=128%C0
This configuration will bypass the V.42bis and V.42 negotiation and attempt MNP4
first.
5. NORMAL Init String: AT&F&C1&D2&Q6W2
This configuration will not attempt V.42 or MNP but instead attempt a
NORMAL
connection.
