5.10.4 Error Recovery

There is no provision to confirm that a message has been successfully transmitted to an

end user or device. There may be a busy signal, an answering machine may take the call,

or another device may be using the phone line.

Here is an example of a string that can be configured to send the numeric message 123 to

a pager with the phone # 610-555-1212, and then hang up:

ATDT6105551212,,,,,,,,,123,,,,ATH<cr>

Note that it is typically important to enter the <cr> (carriage return character) for the string

to be properly recognized by the modem. Information on modem control characters is

available from your modem manufacturer.

Control characters can be entered in the Configurator by typing "\x" followed by the

hexadecimal representation of the ASCII code for the desired character. For example, the

control-Z character is represented by a hexadecimal 1A; therefore, "\x1a" should be

entered into the serial data string where a control-Z is desired.

If the characters "\x" are desired to appear in the serial data string rather than a control

character, then this special sequence can be escaped by entering "\\x". The characters "\x"

will appear in the serial data string.
