Dial (Dial) - Paradyne COMSPHERE 6800 Series Command Reference Manual

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

Dial (dial)

Use the dial command to do the following:
For all supported devices, you can specify a telephone number or a directory number from which a
telephone number can be retrieved; and you can indicate whether or not an existing call should be
disrupted (i.e., initiate dialing even though the device is already in Data mode).
For DATAPHONE II devices, you can specify an alternate speed at which the call should be
originated.
For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and
schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for
results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description
of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.
