Touch-tone
dialing (global)
The
tone
command
is
only used
when
you
have
programmed
the
DCM
212
to
automatically
originate
a
call.
When
used
here
and
not
in
the telephone
number
to
be
dialed
(see
"Dialer
Programming mode"
later in this section), this
command
is
a
global
instruction. If
you
pro-
gram
the
Modem
to
dial
a telephone
number,
but
do
not
specify the
method
for dialing,
the
Modem
examines
this
global area to
determine
which
signaling
type
it
should
use.
You
can examine
the global
signaling
type
by
looking
in
the
parameter
listing at
the reply
line.

Rotary
(pulse) dialing (default)
At

for
you
using pulse
signaling,
unless
you
have
specified
otherwise while
programming
the
dialer
memory.
You

Slow
dialing
speed
(default)
When
operating
in
automatic
originate
mode, you
not only have
the
option
to
select
the
signaling
type,
but
also the signaling speed.
Slow
signaling
speed
is
defaulted
on
a
freshly
powered-on
Modem.
While
in
slow speed
mode,
the
Modem
pulse
dials at
10 pulses
per
se-
cond and
tone
dials at 5 digits
per second.
You
can
tell
what
speed
rate
the
Modem
will dial
by examining
the
reply
line:
SLOW DIAL:Y
"Yes,
slow
dial."
