These modems are specifically endorsed by Digital Equipment Corporation
The modem will accept a connection as it comes out of the box.  Plug it in to
port TTA0 (labelled port 2)
on your AlphaStation, and use Kermit to connect.  After connecting, issue an AT
command to confirm
communication.  You should receive an OK response.  Then, issue the following
command to set the
modem up:

	atx1$b38400%b33600%g1&w

On a DECServer 200
The following assumes a fresh DECServer configuration. If you’d like to reset
your DECServer to factory
settings press and hold the red button on the rear of the DECServer while
unplugging it and plugging it
back in.
 ·	From a VMS system on the same network as the DECServer
 ·	mcr ncp show known line (note the line name to use below)
·	mcr ncp connect via isa-0 physical address 08-00-2b-5d-a8      use the
ethernet address that
is on a sticker on the rear of the DECserver
·	log onto the DECServer default password is ACCESS set priv default
password SYSTEM
