Figure 8.12. Phone Settings
A mi xed sequence might appear like this: T9,P(812)555-1212.
The comma indicates a pause in th e dialin g seq uenc e. This is
useful when using a business
phone where you need to dial for
an outside line and th en pause before entering th e rest of the
number.
The parentheses and dash are ignored by th e mod em.
You may
enter them for convenience.
Since the modem will change modes as many times as
in structed, the Mixed choice in the Dial item is optional. If you
do not choose Mixed, the Mac will send a mode instruction,
either Tone or Pulse, to the mod em before beginning the
operator-e ntered sequence. This may be changed, as discussed
earl ier, by inc ludin g the T or P character in the number
sequence.
The next item in the Phone Settings window determines
th e number of times which the phone will be allowed to ring
before the modem will answer an incoming cal l. It is norma ll y
set to
three rings. Setting it to zero will disable th e mod em 's
answer function.
The last item identifies the modem type which th e Mac is
using.
