An analog telephone line supports one of 2 dialing modes: pulse dialing or tone dialing. These
dialing mode options are selected in the Phone and Modem Options settings. The dialing mode
option selected must match the dialing mode supported by the telephone line in your location.
To determine the dialing mode supported by a telephone line, dial a few digits on the telephone,
and then listen for clicks (pulses) or tones. Clicks indicate that the telephone line supports pulse
dialing. Tones indicate that the telephone line supports tone dialing.
●
Check the telephone number you are dialing and the response of the remote modem.
Dial a telephone number, make sure there is a response from the remote modem, and then
hang up.
●
Set the modem to ignore dial tones.
If the modem receives a dial tone it does not recognize, it does not dial and displays a "No Dial
Tone" error message.
