Normal mode of operation MBLM-2

МBLM-2 starts work immediately after power supply is plugged in. After initialization (about 2s), MBLM-2 enters in receiving command mode (master modem) or waits for connection (slave modem). The work mode (master/slave) is determined by the condition of pin RTS (pin 7) of serial port, which is monitored constantly. The following commands can take place:

  • info – returns information about MBLM-2 software version
  • prm – returns information with values of all stored parameters. Also can be used to change parameter value
  • reset – restarts and initializes again МBLM-2
  • dial number – establishes connection with this ‘number’. Only digits are allowed for 'number'. This command is accepted only from master modem and only dial tone is possible.

Commands info and prm are valid when slave modem too, when they are send by master modem through the phone line. That way master modem can change remotely parameters of slave modem or to check their current value and software version of the remote modem.
