Appendix
A
DIAL ATTEMPTS:!?
The
Modem
uses
this
prompt
to ask:
"How
many
times
do you
want
me
to
re-dial
a telephone
number
if
I
cannot
get
through
to
the
num-
ber?" This parameter
is
only scanned
if
the
DCM
212-is
operating
in
the
automatic
originate
mode. You can
use
any
number
from
1
to
9
to
respond.
ABORT
RING: 8?
This option
allows
you
to
program
how
long
the
Modem
should
wait
for
a
phone
to
be answered
that
you
dialed in
automatic
originate
mode.
The
DCM
212
monitors
the
number
of
times the dialed
phone
rings
and
after
the defaulted
8
rings,
it
aborts the
call.
You
can change
this
parameter
to
any
number
in
the
range of 4
and
9
(Modem
rejects
any
number
less
than
4).
LOSS OF CARR:Y?
Once
the
Modem
is
ON
LINE
with another computer,
there are
several
conditions
which
will
cause
the
system
to
disconnect
from
the
tele-
phone
line
and go
into
the waiting
mode.
One
of
these
conditions
is
the
loss-of-carrier
disconnect sequence. This
parameter
prompt
gives
you
a
chance
to stay
on
the telephone
line
even
if
carrier
is
disrupted.
When
you do
not
press
(
ENTER
)
(leave alone),
the
prompt
will
wait
for
a
les
or
No
response.
If
the response
is
No,
the
Modem
will re-
main
connected
to the
telephone
line
even
though
carrier
is
lost.
SEND SPACE
:N?
The
DCM
212 informs
the
remote
modem
that
you
are
about
to
exit
by
sending a long
space.
If
you answer
this
prompt
by
typing
Y,
the
Modem
sends
a
long space
over the
telep
hone
lines
each time
an
abort
character
is
entered.
Y,
N,
and
(ENTER
)
are
the only
valid characters
for this
prompt.
