Features
■ Redialing
■ Dialing Stored Numbers
■ Call Progress Detection
■ Fax Support
Redialing Your modem stores each dialed number until another number is dialed. When you
enter
ATDL, the modem redials the last number dialed.
Dialing Stored Numbers The modem can store up to four telephone numbers. For example, suppose you
frequently call the number 555-5555. If this is the first number you want to store,
enter
AT&Z1=5555555 and ATDS1 to dial it. If it is the fourth number you want to
store, you would type
AT&Z4=5555555 to store it and ATDS4 to dial it.
Call Progress Detection An optional set of result codes lets you know when:
■ The telephone number you have dialed is busy
■ The line has been picked up, but a modem is not answering the call
■ There is no dial tone on the telephone line
■ A call is coming in
These result codes, and the commands that enable or disable these result codes
are controlled by the ATXn command.
Fax Support To send or receive faxes using the modem, you must have a facsimile software
package, such as Microsoft Fax, provided with your notebook computer. In your
fax software, select error-correcting mode (ECM) to provide more reliable fax
connectivity. Your modem supports Class 1 and Class 2.0 faxing; for best results
and compatibility, we recommend using Class 1 as your fax class.
NOTE: The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any
person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a
telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top
or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the
date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or
other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending
machine or such business, other entity, or individual.
