However, before you can accept Dial Direct calls, you must turn on the Dial Direct
transport to allow incoming Dial Direct access. Additionally, if you wish to use
callback, you must specify a calling location and make sure that your modem is
configured correctly.
Turning on the Dial Direct Transport
To enable Timbuktu Pro to answer incoming calls to your modem, you need to turn
on the Dial Direct transport. From the Setup menu, choose Incoming Access. In
the Incoming Access dialog box, select the Dial Direct checkbox to enable the Dial
Direct transport.
If you don’t want Timbuktu Pro to answer incoming calls until you’re ready, leave
the Dial Direct transport turned off until you need to accept an incoming call.
Note: If you set Timbuktu Pro to answer Dial Direct calls, make sure that you don’t
have fax, ARA Personal Server, speaker phone, or other serial software set to
answer incoming calls.
Selecting a Calling Location
When you are setting up your computer to receive Dial Direct calls and call back,
make sure that the calling location information is filled out accurately and that
the correct calling location is selected. Selecting the correct calling location en-
sures that the correct dialing prefix will be used when the return call is made.
To select a calling location for callback
1. Open the New Connection window.
2. Click the Dial Direct tab.
3. From the Calling From drop-down list, choose the correct calling location. If
you need to create a new calling location, choose Edit Calling Locations. See

Configuring Your Modem
If your computer will be responding to any incoming Dial Direct connections by
calling back, make sure your modem settings are correct on the Dial Direct tab in
the Preferences dialog box. See
“Setting Dial Direct Preferences” on page 46 .
