COURIER HIGH SPEED MODEMS
Dialing Type, Pulse or Tone
If set to
XO or Xl, the modem defaults to pulse (rotary) dialing.
To have the modem use tone dialing, which includes the asterisk
(*)
and pound sign(#), use the T command. The command may
be included in the Dial string, as in the previous command
example, or issued separately:
ATT <Enter>
The following command resets the modem to pulse dialing:
ATP <Enter>
You can switch from one dial type to another within a dialing
sequence.

NOTE: The modem remains set to the dialing type of the last -
call until it is reset (ATZ command) or it receives a different dial-
type command.
Adaptive Dialing (X2-X7)
When any of the X2 through X7 options is in effect and you do
not issue a dialing type in the Dial string, the Courier uses tone
dialing, which is faster than the default pulse type. However, if
-
the phone company's central office does not have Touch-Tone _
detection equipment, the modem cannot break dial and contin-
ues to detect the dial tone. If this occurs, the modem automati-
cally reverts to pulse dialing. _
Pause(,)
A comma causes a two-second delay in the dial sequence. The
following example contains four-second delays at several points:
ATOP 9,,7654321,,55555,,13121234567 <Enter>
The first four-second pause is to access an outside line after
dialing 9, but you may wish to use the W option, described in
what follows. The second pause is to make sure the remote sys-
tem is ready for the user's account number, and the third, to
delay before dialing the long-distance number.
Such pauses, however, may not be necessary. Experiment and
use delays only as required.
