PHONE MENU - PHONE SETTINGS
Now that all communications settings ha ve been properly
mad e, we are ready to make contact with the outside world.
The Phone menu is depicted in figure 8.11. Pull down the
Phone menu and select Phone Settings. The window, depict ed
in figure 8.12, will appear. The purpose of this window is to
record th e tel ep hone numb er which the modem will call to
contact the remote computer. It is also used to set the dialing
conditions for the mod em.
Enter the number of a computer service into the blank. As
with many other Mac menu windows , th e blank will appear
with the previous number highlighted if it already contai ns an
e ntry. The majority of the telephone systems toda y have been
converted to touch tone service. To instruct th e modem to dial
th e phone number using tones, select Tone from the Dial item .
If you are in an area which uses the rotary dial pulse system,
select
Pulse. These two will be the most pr eval ent cases.
If, however,
you are in an area where a mixture of tones
and pulses is required , MacTerminal can accommodate thi s as
well. Entering aT into the phon e number sequence will instruct
th e mod em to use tones. A P will indicat e rotary pulses. To
enter a mixed dial instruction into the Phon e Settings window ,
simply insert aT or Pin the appropriate position in the numb er
seque nce. The modem will change mod es at the specified point.
