Modem initialization strings

Sets the initialization string send to the modem when starting a remote connection.

Using the drop-down list, it is possible to select different modem initialization strings, depending on the type of modem you are using to connect to a remote modem.

If the initialization string your particular modem needs is not listed, you can type the string in the entry field just below the drop-down list and then press the "Add to list" button to insert that in the list for future reference. It is possible to add a descriptive text after the initialization string by adding an "!" (exclamation mark) just before the comment. If more AT commands are needed for the proper initialization, commands can be separated with the ";" (semicolon)  between commands.
