Dialing a Stored Phone Number S=n
Use the S dial modifier to dial a previously stored number. Once stored, a num-
ber can be dialed by entering
ATDS=n
where n is 0 to 9. For example ATDS=1 dials the number stored in location 1.
Alternatively, the shorthand syntax ATDS may be used to dial the number
stored in location 0. This is equivalent to typing ATDS=0.
For maximum flexibility the stored numbers can be linked in series with each
other or other digits on the command line. For example, if you were to enter
ATDS=0S=11212
where stored number 0 is and stored number 1 is the 500 TA will dial the num-
ber 1-800-555-1212.
ANSWERING CALLS A
When the 500 TA detects an incoming call, it asserts the RI signal on the PC
interface and sends the RING message to the PC after each ring. If the 500 TA
is set to auto answer, it will do so. You can also answer the call manually by
sending the ATA command to the 500 TA. Each of these answering methods is
described below.
Auto Answer S0=n
The 500 TA can automatically answer incoming calls if the following condi-
tions are met:
• The auto answer option is set. See below.
• The DTR signal is forced on via the DTR option. Refer to chapter 3,
<MIC1>Option Configuration - Terminal Interface and Pin
Options<DC255>.
• The 500 TA is in the offline mode.
After the specified number of rings, the 500 TA answers and begins the con-
nect sequence.
Auto answer is controlled by command S0. S0 determines which ring the 500
TA answers on. S0 can be set to a value between 1 and 255 for auto answer.
Setting S0 to 0 (factory default) disables auto answer.
