Chapter 2
If
the
DIAL ATTEMPTS
parameter
(see I
command
in
Appendix A)
of
the
Modem
is
programmed
for
a
number
other
than
1
(the default
number),
the
redial
sequence
is
activated.
After the
first
attempt, the
Modem
will
automatically wait
for
about 60
seconds,
then
it
will seize
the
line,
dial
the
number, and
monitor
the progress
of
the
call.
If
the
line
is still
busy, the
DCM
212
will
hang up and
start
the process
again.
When
the
Modem
is
programmed
for
2
dial
attempts
and
has
tried twice,
but
failed to
complete
the
call,
everything stops here
and
the
Modem
enters
the
OFF-LINE
state.
If
programmed
for
more
than
2
dial
attempts, the
Modem
will
wait for
60
seconds
and
try again.
The
Modem
will
keep
trying until
the attempts count
is
completed
or
until the
call
is
completed.
When
the
call
is
completed, the
message
CONNECT
is
printed to the
display.
Line
condition 3
—
re-order
tone
The
re-order
tone
is
a beeping tone
the
telephone
company
uses to
tell
you
that
something
is
wrong.
Either
your
Modem's
numeric
data
is
incorrect,
you
dialed
too
fast or, for
some
reason, the
company
can-
not
process
your
call.
Dial sequence emergency shutdown
command
When
you
discover that the
Modem
is
dialing
an
incorrect
telephone
number,
or
you
do
not
want
to wait for the
time out
to expire
after
having
executed the
dialer
command
with the
X
command,
you can
turn
OFF
the
dial sequence. Just enter
any
character.
The
dialer
command
is
shut
down
and
the
Modem
returns the
message DIS-
CONNECT.
Busy number
redial
interruption
While
the
Modem
is
in the 60-second timer delay (before
making
another attempt
to
redial
a
number
found
busy),
you can
interrupt
the process
by
using the
Q Q
wake-up
sequence.
The
wake-up com-
mand
forces
the
Modem
into
the
command
receptive
state
and
aborts
the
busy
redial
mode.
