The card also supports dial-out applications via the modems or terminal adapters. The ISIHI-2S card features eight RAS ports using two Basic Rate Interface (BRI) ISDN lines. The eight ports allow a server to accept any combination of analog modem and digital ISDN calls, giving the user the flexibility to customize the settings of the terminal adapters and modems.
Chapter 1– Introduction From the perspective of the server PC, the ISIHI-2S is an 8-port serial card with eight devices permanently attached to the serial ports. The first four ports are the two terminal adapters, each of which appear as two ports. The remaining four ports are the four central site modems.

For example, if you type ATD5551212<cr>, the modem dials the number 555-1212. The ISIHI-2S modem supports several dialing methods. With the D command, you can specify either pulse (ATDP) or tone (ATDT) dialing. You also can modify the dialing command with several other characters that are explained in the Dial Modifier Commands section, later in this chapter.
Page 68
Pulse or Tone Dialing Default: T The ISIHI-2S’s modems dials numbers by using pulse dialing, tone dialing, or a combination of both methods. Pulse dialing, used by rotary-dial telephones, uses the timed opening and closing of a relay to encode the numbers. Tone dialing, used by push- button (touch-tone) telephones, uses dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) dialing.
Page 69
Disable Data Calling Tone Transmission Use the ^ command to disable the transmission of data calling tones. In the following example, the ^ command is used to tone dial 555-1212 and suppress data calling tone transmission. ATDT^5551212 MultiModemISI Hybrid Series, ISIHI-2S...
You can automatically dial a telephone number that is stored in the modem’s number memory by typing ATDS n , where n = 0 through 3. For example, you can dial a number stored at N2 by typing ATDS2 in terminal mode and pressing E NTER MultiModemISI Hybrid Series, ISIHI-2S...
Chapter 4—MODEM AT Commands, S-Registers, Result Codes Configuration Storage and Recall Commands The ISIHI-2S stores parameters in two places. It stores factory default parameters in read-only memory (ROM), and customized parameters in nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM). You cannot change the default parameters in ROM, but you can change parameters in temporary memory and then store them in NVRAM as custom settings.
Page 72
Chapter 4—MODEM AT Commands, S-Registers, Result Codes Modem Response (Result Code) Commands ISIHI-2S modems can give responses to commands. The most common is OK , but the modems also can alert you or your software to dial tones, busy signals, connection speeds, and whether the connection is made with error correction or compression enabled.

Chapter 4—MODEM AT Commands, S-Registers, Result Codes Modem S-Registers This chapter describes the ISIHI-2S’s S-registers , which are small regions of memory where modem configuration information is stored. Whereas AT commands tell a modem what to do, S-registers tell the modem how to do it. Each S-register has a name that consists of the letter S and a number (S0, S1, S2, etc.), hence the term S-register .
Page 84
