Symptoms

A new setup script is required for the new MultiTech ISDN modem for Brisque. The new modem replaces the ZyXEL modem.

Solution

The following procedure explains how to download the setup script and how to set up the MultiTech ISDN modem.
Note: There are 2 alternative methods for setting up the script, as described below.

Download and open the setup script:

1. Copy the isdnsetup.tar.Z patch to /dataVolumes/example.1.0/.updates.
2. Browse to the patch location and press enter.
3. Type: uncompress isdnsetup.tar.Z and press enter.
4. Type: tar -xvf isdnsetup.tar and press enter. The file is automatically copied to its designated location.
5. Type exit and log on as cdesci.

Method 1—set up the script with AIX commands:

1. Log off from Brisque.
2. Log on as root and type your password (ripro).
3. Type: cd /scitex/version/utils/modem/isdn/multitech/europe and press enter.
4. Type: new_inst_modem <com/tty> and press enter. The variable <com/tty> represents the COM port to which the modem is connected. For example, if the moden is connected to tty0 (com1), type new_inst_modem tty0 and press enter.
5. Ask Response Center to dial in, to verify the modem is installed correctly.

Method 2—set up the script with Kermit commands:

1. Log off from Brisque.
2. Log on as root and type your password (ripro).
3. Type: cd /scitex/version/utils/modem/isdn/multitech/europe and press enter.
4. Type: kermit and press enter.
5. At the kermit prompt, type the following commands:
   set carrier-watch off
set file type binary
set line /dev/tty<0,1,2,3> (use the modem tty. For example: set line /dev/tty1)
   set parity none
set stop-bits 1
set file bytesize 8
set protocol xmodem
set parity space
set flow rts
set transmit linefeed on
connect
ats4=0
at&W0
atz
   Press ctrl and C
   Press exit.

Notes:

• You cannot setup the MultiTech modem via Scismit (unlike the setup of ZyXEL).
• In some cases you need to reboot the Brisque workstation after setting up the ISDN modem.
• If you run the MultiTech script on a ZyXEL modem, or run the ZyXEL script on a MultiTech modem, the modem may not function properly. To correct this problem, run the correct script.
