Answering A Call - Multitech ProxyServer MTPSR1-202ST User Manual

Note: In Windows 95, if the "Use Country Code and Area Code" box is checked in the Properties window for dial-up
connection, the bundling modifier (i.e., &, + or !) is removed from the dialing string when the user attempts to make a
connection. The solution is to not check the "Use Country Code and Area Code" box, or to simply add the bundling dial
modifier to the phone number at the time of connection.
Canceling a Call
To cancel a call before the ProxyServer makes a connection, press any key.
Storing a Telephone Number
To store a telephone number, type &Zn=x in terminal mode, where n is the number of the memory
register in which the number is to be stored, and x is the dial command string that you want to store.
For example, type AT&Z9=612-785-3500 <CR> to store the number 612-785-3500 in memory
register 9.
Dialing a Stored Telephone Number
To dial a stored telephone number, type &DS=n in terminal mode, where n is the location of the
number you wish to dial. For example, type ATDS=3 <CR> dials a telephone stored in memory
register 3 location.
Displaying a Stored Number
To display a stored telephone number, type &Zn? in terminal mode, where n is the memory register
in which the number is stored. For example, type AT&Z5? <CR> to display the telephone number in
memory register 5. To list all ten telephone numbers stored in memory, type ATL <CR>.

Answering a Call

You can answer incoming calls to the ProxyServer either manually or automatically. When the
ProxyServer detects an incoming call, it turns on the RI signal on the V.24 interface, and sends a
RING result code to the computer or terminal after each ring. If autoanswer is enabled, the
ProxyServer will automatically answer the call. You can also manually answer the call by using the A
command. Both methods are described below.
Answering Manually
If your communication program is in terminal mode when the RING result code appears on your
monitor, you can manually answer the call by typing ATA <CR>.
Answering Automatically
To cause the ProxyServer to automatically answer a call:
1. Enable autoanswer by setting register S0 to the ring on which you want the ProxyServer to
answer (e.g., in terminal mode, type S0=4 to make the ProxyServer answer on the fourth ring).
You can also use either of the configuration utilities to the turn autoanswer on and set the number
of rings.
2. Make sure that the ProxyServer is offline.
The ProxyServer will answer the call after the number of rings specified by S0. To disable
autoanswer, use a configuration utility or the command S0=0.
Note: If the user wishes to accept calls while DTR is low, the ProxyServer must be configured to ignore DTR. This is
accomplished by entering AT&D0<cr>. With this configuration, the ProxyServer is able to accept calls while DTR is low. If
this configuration setting is not made, the TA rejects incoming calls until DTR is high while the calls comes in.
Hanging Up
To hang up a call, first escape to online command mode (+++AT<CR>), then enter the H command
(ATH<CR>). The escape sequence and hang up command can be combined into one command
string: +++ATH<CR>.
