DC-2212 is operating in the automatic originate mode
.
You can use any number from
to 9 to respond.
ABORT RING:B?
Here you have the option to program how long the modem should wait for a phone to
be answered that you dialed in automatic originate mode. DC-2212 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 between 4 and 9 (any number less
than 4 is defaulted to 4).
LOSS OF CARRIER:Y?
Once the modem is on-line with another computer, there are several conditions that
cause the system to disconnect from the telephone 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 if carrier is disrupted
.
If you do not press (ENTER) (leave alone), the prompt waits for a yes or no response
.
If
the response is no, the modem remains connected to the telephone line even though
carrier is lost.
SEND SPACE:N?
When you use the abort character to start an abort character disconnect sequence
,
your
modem informs the other modem that you are about to exit. This is done with the use
of a long space. If you answer this prompt by typing Y, the modem will allow a long
space to be sent over the telephone lines after an abort character disconnect sequence
was activated. Y, N, and (ENTER) are the only valid characters for this prompt.
RECEit.JE SPACE:Y?
This is your end of the long space disconnect sequence prompt. By entering
N,
you are
commanding the modem not to disconnect if it receives a long space from the host
computer (the one you are talking to over the telephone lines).
ABORT ENABLE:Y?
This
parameter
allows
you to turn off the DC-2212's ability to disconnect upon an
abort character sequence. There may be times when there are no unused characters in a
file that you can use as a software abort commands. So
,
instead of trying to invent
some method of avoiding accidental disconnect
,
you can use this menu prompt to
completely disable the function
.
