I use Proterm 3.1 with my Apple IIc and WiModem232 V2 @ 9600. I use the suggested initialization string and driver:

Generic Fixed Speed (RTS/CTS) driver
Init string: ATX1&C0&K1&S1
Apple //c Serial Port

The cable is this:
1 Handshake Out    20 DTR
2 Data Out             2 TxD   
3 Ground               7 Gnd   
4 Data In               3 RxD     
5 Handshake In      6 DSR   

Proterm 3.1 can initialize the modem upon startup successfully. 

When I use Proterm's Dial function, Proterm does not recognize that the modem connected. I work around that by going on-line (solid-apple T) and dialing out using ATDS=X, where X is the index of the saved url.  Interestingly enough, Proterm 3.1 does dial out if I use the Smartmodem 300 driver. 

ZModem downloads start giving errors after the first time the computer saves the file to disk; Proterm reports that it was expecting one type of packet but got another (don't recall the exact packet types now). I need to cancel the download manually and power cycle the modem.

When I don't do a file transfer and use +++ to get the modem's attention, and then ATH to disconnect, I do not receive anything else from the modem. I can see the modem disconnected (through the OLED display), but I get no response from AT commands (although I also do see the modem gets the commands once again through the OLED display).

Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Thanks

I modified a few things prior to the at&w. 

at*busy=in a call write now call back later
ats0=9
at&w

that caused the LED to go out. 

I've tried to set the LED via at*led5, at*led0, at*led1, nothing is bring it back. 

I did reboot and complete power cycle nothing helped it. 

I use that LED to see who is trying to login to my system. 

I don't see anyone else with this issue.

firmware: v6.50-01/20/25]]>

And what is its actual size?
I ordered a 1.3-inch display (from AliExpress), but it's too big.
What is its actual reference number? (It's difficult to find the layout of the "Vcc-Gnd-Scl-Sda" pins).

When accessing a server in the local network using telnet, I get TERM set to "wimodem", which makes programs confused about the features supported. Is there a register somewhere this string is stored so I can have "vt100", "ansi" or other configuration string compatible with the software running on the computer (or the physical terminal) attached to the modem? I can use my .profile script to force TERM to be something else if I login with it set to "wimodem", but it'd be cool if that could be configured on the modem itself.

Cheers, and, again, thanks for the amazing product.]]>

For example: CONNECT 38400/192.168.1.1

Of course, this should be optionally adjustable via ATXn. Similar to how you can set analog modems to report information about error correction and data compression, for example.]]>

I recently pulled my WiModem232 out of storage, it is the OLED display model that says v3.1 in the corner, to start using again after a recent move.   I was able to connect it all up, connect to the Wi-FI, but when I try to run AT*UPDATE I get

"Process failed! - Wrong HTTP Code"

before it just resets back to connecting the router.  I know it's been a bit since I've used it, but not sure what to do to get this to install?

Thanks all!

However, every time I boot/restart the WiModem it logs onto that network automatically.

Since Im working on a program for an old 8-bit computer, I would like to test things out,
so for that I need to remove the SSID infos (user and pwd and ip address) from the modem that I allready
added using the AT*SSID command..
So basically I want a real factory reset, remove everything.

I tried different things. Like holding the reset button down for 10-30 seconds.
(It seemed to reset but did not remove all info).
I tried shutting down the wifi network and reset the WiModem using AT&F command.
None of these worked.

I read somewhere that one could do hardware modification, but the Pro version has this case
one has to remove?

I have not yet read the entire manual to find other things to try out.
But I thought to ask here meanwhile.
(The WiModem seems to be a great product so far).
