VOICE DIALING NOTES

This chapter provides information that describes how to configure
some popular data and voice PC communications packages for
use with the 7400B Plus.
Some of the functions and features mentioned in this chapter may
not be available to you depending on the version of the software
that you are using.
The 7400B Plus has been tested with a variety of communications
packages for use with DOS and Macintosh PCs.
To dial a data call, the modem configuration must be set to TONE
(T) dialing. If given a choice, set the modem type to Hayes 2400
Smartmodem or just Hayes.
These software packages were tested with the 7400B Plus at a rate
of 2400. Check with your System 75/85 administrator to
determine the appropriate baud rate to use on your system.
When you are placing a call, if the Carrier Detect lamp is on and
your computer cannot communicate with the far end, check to
make sure that you have set the appropriate communication
parameters for that service.
The 7400B Plus voice dialing feature has been tested with the
following PC Communication Packages:
Hot Line V2.2
SideKick V1.5 and SideKick Plus V1.0
PC Tools V6
For PC communication packages to dial voice calls, the modem
configuration must be set to PULSE (P) dialing (even though the
7400B Plus will use Touch-Tone). If given a choice, set modem
type to Hayes 2400 Smartmodem or just Hayes.
Note: While the 7400B Plus supports simultaneous voice and
data, the above packages support alternate voice/data
DIALING only. It is possible to dial a voice call with a
data call on hold, but the above voice dialing packages
interfere with data operation, by remapping the COM
port or by hanging up the data call.
You can dial a data call while on a voice call. In all cases, the
linked telephone will work.
