your pre-configured password on a touch-tone
telephone handset (this can be set using the software
application).
You have three attempts to enter the correct
password. If you fail to enter the correct password,
the modem will 'abort' the call and go back 'on
hook'.
If the correct password is entered, the modem will
either emit,
i) a series of short 'beeps' indicating the number
of unread messages or,
ii) one long 'beep' indicating there are no read/
unread messages.
The user has the option to press:
0 for a repeated acoustic message
count
1 to play unread messages
2 to play read messages
At any time the user may abort the call by pressing
the * key.
The modem will automatically hang-up after a
period of in-activity.

Product Features
Independent Mode
After the 56K* Message Modem has been
configured for 'Independent Mode' as described
above, exiting the supplied communication software
will enable this mode of operation. The bicolour
ARQ/FAX led on the front panel of the modem will
turn green. The 56K* Message Modem is now
capable of receiving and storing voice and/or fax
messages whilst the PC is switched off. Each new
message will be indicated by a single slow blink on
the ARQ/FAX led. Stored voice messages can also
be retrieved remotely using a touch tome telephone.
To retrieve and store your messages on the PC,
load the supplied application software. During this
process, all the voice and/ or fax messages currently
stored in the flash memory are deleted.
The 56K* Message Modem memory has limited
space to store messages. If this limit is reached
during the reception of a message, the message is cut
off and flagged. No new messages will be stored
until the old messages are retrieved and erased. Fast
blinking of the ARQ/FAX led indicates that the flash
memory is full.
