DTR DIALING
Use the  and Enter buttons to enable or disable DTR dialing. DTR dialing is popular in synchronous
applications. In DTR dialing, the modem automatically dials the number stored in memory location 0
when it detects a high DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal on the RS-232 interface. The DTR signal
must remain high for the duration of the call. To store the DTR dialing number, use the &Z0=
command or the ENTER PHONE #0 menu option.
Note: Plug and Play does not function if DTR dialing is enabled. DTR is used during Plug and Play, and
DTR dialing interferes with it.
