p
The P command tells the modem to use pulse, or rotary, dial¬
ing. You can type P between digits in the telephone number
to alternate between tone dialing (see the T command) and
pulse dialing. The modem will then use pulse dialing until you
type T.
R
The R command puts your modem into answer mode when
you call an orlginate-only modem. In order for two computers
to communicate, one modem must be in originate mode; the
other, in answer mode. When you originate a call, your SX212
Modem is by default in the originate mode. To reverse this to
answer mode, type R at the end of the dial command.
T
The T command tells the modem to use tone dialing. You can
type T between digits in the telephone number to alternate
between pulse dialing (see the P command) and tone dialing.
The modem will use tone dialing until you type P.
Z
The Z command resets the modem to ali its default settings
which may have been changed by previous commands. Type
ATZ to reset your modem.
, (Comma)
The comma command allows you to place a call through a
switchboard or PBX. Enter a comma between the number
that accesses an outside line (such as 9) and the telephone
number. (For example: ATDT9.4155551212.) The command
causes the modem to pause for two seconds (the default)
and wait for the second dial tone before dialing the rest of
the number. Several commas can be entered side by side to
increase the delay. (The length of the delay can be changed
by programming S register 8; see Chapter 3, Programming
Your SX212 Modem.)
+ + + (Pluses)
The + + + escape command puts you in the local command
mode while you are online so you can communicate directly
with your modem without disconnecting a call. Wait at least one
second after the last character is transmitted before typing
+ + + so that the modem has time to recognize it as the escape
command. Then wait another second before typing the next
command. You do not need to press [Return] after entering this
command.
