Selecting the proper mode for Modem connectivity
Select modes 0, 1, 2, and 3 when the DAC is connected to different types of
modems for inbound and outbound modem pooling. In these modes, the DAC
operates as a DTE, monitors the DSR, DCD, and RI control leads, and drives
the DTR lead. No menus are given and no characters are echoed when DCD
is OFF. All prompts and messages are enabled for inbound calls and disabled
for outbound calls.
In modes 0 and 1, the DAC drives the DTR lead OFF when in the idle state,
and ON when processing an incoming or outgoing call.
In modes 2 and 3, the DAC drives the DTR lead ON except when the call is
being disconnected. At disconnect, DTR is dropped for 0.2 seconds and then
returns to ON.
