Init Key

The \Init sequence in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\CompanyX-GenericModem-1234\Init is an enumerated sequence of strings used to initialize the modem. There can be any number of Init strings. Unimodem steps through them in sequence, sending the Init string to the modem and waiting for an "OK" response before continuing to the next command in the sequence. The name of each entry is its sequence number, starting with the number 1, and its data is the command that is sent to the modem. Usually, the Init key entry 1 is AT<cr>, which is sent to the modem to start it. Init key entry 2 usually contains &F or a similar command to restore the modem to its default settings. Subsequent Init key entries contain miscellaneous commands to configure the modem to maintain compatibility with Windows CE.
