switching to answer mode after dialing.
P, T Pulse or Tone Dialing
Default: P
The MT3334HD8's modems can dial numbers by using pulse dialing, tone dialing, or a combination of
both methods. Pulse dialing, used by rotary-dial telephones, uses the timed opening and closing of a relay
to encode the numbers. Tone dialing, used by push-button (touch-tone) telephones, uses dual tone
multifrequency (DTMF) dialing.
P selects pulse dialing.
T selects tone dialing.
Insert P or T in the dialing command just before the digits you want to pulse- or tone-dial.
For example, to pulse-dial the number 555-1212, type ATDP5551212 and press E
same number, type ATDT5551212 and press E
dial command, the modem uses whatever method was used last.
Immediately after the modem has been turned on or reset, it uses pulse dialing, even if you do not include
P in your dial command.
As an example of combining pulse and tone dialing, assume you are calling out of a PBX (switchboard)
system where a 9 has to be pulse-dialed, then the rest of the number has to be tone-dialed after pausing for
a second dial tone. To dial this example, type ATDP9,T5551212 and press E
pause.)
W Wait for New Dial Tone
Inserting W into the dialing command causes the modem to wait for another dial tone before it resumes
dialing. (It is not necessary to enter W at the beginning of the dialing command.)
Because the modem must be able to detect the dial tone for this command to work, you also
must select wait-for-dial-tone dialing with the X2 or X4 command.
