Configuring your computer for the AETA USB port

The AETA can support data communications over either the USB or Serial port.  The AETA will automatically detect if a Computer is plugged into the USB port and switch to USB port operation. Please note, it is possible to only operate either the USB or Serial port at any one time, i.e. the AETA will not operate both ports at the same time.

              

 

 If you wish to force the AETA to operate in USB mode only  then you must follow the steps below

  1. Lift the Phone handset, you will hear a dial tone.
  2. Dial #28#2#
  3. You will hear a confirmation tone.
  4. Hang up the Phone handset.
  5. Power Reset the AETA by removing the power plug pack lead and the ISDN (S) lead for 5 seconds.

If you have switched to use the USB port and you want to revert back to automatic detection mode, then follow the steps above but dial #28#0# instead of #28#2#.  

If you want the AETA to use the Serial port mode only, then dial #28#1#  in the sequence above.

Warning: Removing the power from the AETA will disrupt communications via the AETA.  This includes all EFTPOS and phone connections.
