Hi all

I want to connect a MCU to standard external pc modem.


1-Is there any topic or link or similar project?

2- I think an external modem can detect busy line..... no answer ....... dialtone....and it can report it by rs232 com port to MCU.

is it true?
 

HI

yes you are true
as I understand all modems use the serial port for data transmission.

even if the modem connect to your PC with USB. there will be a serial data encapsulated in USB.

just to start

connect your PC to your modem and try to play with some AT commands and see the modem response
you may use serial Port monitor SW to see what's going on the port.

then try to send the same data from your MCU to your modem

Beside connect Tx/RX line as usual serial data transmission, you have to connect all of the modem hardware handshaking lines (RTS, CTS, DSR, DTR, RI and DCD) to MCU.

These lines are RS232 signal and connect to MCU ports via RS232/TTL Voltage Translator Chip such as MAX232.

The handshaking schemes are:

RI signalindicating there are external call on modem, normally it is connect to INT request input on MC

DTE ie MCU
DCE ie Modem
