Modifying Dial-back Scripts for ARAP Ports
893-826-A
Chapter 3 describes the syntax for a dial-back script in detail. However, there
are differences between dial-back scripts for use at ports that support AppleTalk
Remote Access connections and those that do not. These differences are mainly
due to the fact that ports that support AppleTalk Remote Access connections
use CCL scripts to control modem and connection activity. For ports that
support AppleTalk Remote Access connections, the main purpose of a
dial-back script is to pass a telephone number on to the CCL script, which then
handles dialing and connection activity.
Observe the following guidelines for dial-back scripts, which are to be used at
ports that support AppleTalk Remote Access connections:
•
The first line in the script is always the following:
#control_script
•
The pound-sign character (#), when followed by the phrase
ARAP_modem, is used to specify to the CCL script the telephone number
to be dialed. Do not include modem control commands such as an ATDT
command with the #ARAP_modem command. You can include commas
or spaces in the telephone number, as permitted or required by your
modem.
•
Each line of a dial-back script file can be up to 132 characters long. Each
line must contain only one command. Each command must be on only one
line.
•
Within command scripts, a pound-sign character followed by a space or
tab indicates a comment; the server ignores the remainder of the line.
•
At ports that support AppleTalk Remote Access connections, the server
ignores "#modem" commands. At ports that support AppleTalk Remote
Access connections, only the #ARAP_modem command is processed.
•
At ports that are not configured to support AppleTalk Remote Access
connections, the #ARAP_modem command is ignored. This default
allows you to configure a dial-back script that permits connection to ports
that support both AppleTalk Remote Access and those that do not.
The following is an example of a dial-back script, which would be used only at
ports that support AppleTalk Remote Access connections:
#control_script
# This is an ARAP-only dialback script.
#ARAP_modem 5551978
The following is an example of a dial-back script, which would be used only at
ports, that support AppleTalk Remote Access connections:
#control_script
# This is a generic dialback script.
#ARAP_modem 5551978
#modem atdt5551978
