Modem Options (continued)
Initialization String
The modem initialization string is sent to the modem before each dialing attempt. The
command resets the modem and prepares it for dialing. This string should include the
Hayes standard "AT" command prefix. Some common initialization strings are "AT&F"
and "ATZ". For more information, consult your modem's reference manual.
Telephone Number
Enter the telephone number of the remote system to which the modem driver will
connect. This string may contain special characters that are used to modify the modem's
dialing operation. Do not include the Hayes standard "ATDx" prefix in this string.
Some common dialing commands are listed below. Be sure to consult your modem's
reference manual for the actual commands that it supports.
0 through 9 Dial this number
( ) - space Brackets, minus and space characters are ignored
comma Timed wait
W Timed wait for a dial tone
@ Timed wait for remote pickup
S Dial a number stored in the modem's internal memory
Dialing Method
From the pull down list, choose the dialing method to use with the attached telephone
system. Most telephone systems support Tone dialing but some older systems may only
support Pulse dialing.
Number of Dial Attempts
Enter the number of times that the modem driver will attempt to connect to the remote
system before declaring a connection error. Note that a Windows direct connection is not
actually dialed but the modem driver will make multiple attempts to connect. If you
specify 0 attempts, the modem driver will retry after every connection timeout.
Connection Timeout
This field defines the maximum number of seconds that the modem driver will wait for a
modem response after it has started a connection attempt. If the modem does not respond
within this time, the dialing attempt will be aborted.
Auto-answer
If the modem driver is configured to answer incoming calls (direction is Incoming), enter
the number of rings to wait before answering the call. The value must be positive and
non-zero.
