Canon Cat Reference Manual page 118

Rings before autoanswer Allows you to
select the
number of times
the
phone
will
ring before the Cat
answers
it
automatically
-
l,
3, 5, or 7
rings.
The
initial
value,
Don't
autoanswer, means the Cat
doesn't do anything
when the phone rings.
Wait
before
hangup This
means
the
length of time
the
Cat
will
wait
for
a
carrier signal after you dial
a
number
with
[PHONE].
You
can select
2,30,60, or
180 seconds.
When the timer runs out, the Cat hangs
up its internal
modem
line. The phone
will
go on
ringing if
you
have
the
handset
off-hook. If
not,
the
call is
over.
Note that
if
the
waiting time
is
long,
you may not get
a
dial
tone
when
you
pick
up
the
phone after using
[PHONE].
This
means the
Cat
is
still
waiting for
a
carrier signal. Use IPHONE] to
hang
it
up and
get back the dial tone.
Line
terminator
This
means the
character sent
at
the
end
of
every
line
the Cat
transmits. You can
select carriage
return (CR),
carriage
return
and
line
feed
(CR/LF), or
None.
The
proper choice
depends on the
computer the
Cat
is
communicating
with.
For example,
if
the Cat is
commu-
nicating
with
an
Apple
Macintosh,
None
should
be
se-
lected. Most
data services require
CR.
Ring sound When your
telephone
is hooked up to
your
Cat, both
the telephone and the Cat
will
ring
when
a
call
comes in. The Cat
allows you to
select
a
slow, medium,
or
fast ring
sound.
If you wish, you
can
disconnect the
bell
in
your
phone
in favor of
the more
musical
Cat.
