BOCA PRO16 Reference Guide
Although most telephone exchanges support tone dialing, there are still
a few pulse only exchanges. If you can hear a continuous dial tone when
you lift the handset, you will probably be able to tone dial. If you are in
any doubt, use pulse dialing. The modem will automatically pulse dial
if you have not previously included either the T or P modifiers in your
phone numbers. Exchanges that support tone dialing generally support
pulse dialing as well.
More information about dial modifiers can be found in the Command
Descriptions chapter of this guide.
FPulse dialing may not be supported in New Zealand. Refer to your
Installation Guide for details.
Hanging Up
The H command is used to hang up the modem. After you have finished
communicating with another computer you must hang up your modem.
Similarly, you must hang up the phone after calling another person. If
you don’t, no one will be able to call you and you may even be charged
for the length of time the phone was off the hook.
To hang up your modem:
• Type:
ATH <E>
The modem will return an OK response message.
Stored Number Dialing
Your modem has the ability to store phone numbers which may be
dialed at a later time. This is similar to ‘abbreviated dialing’, which may
be supported by your telephone.
To store a phone number use the &Z command. For example:
• Type:
AT&Z1=012345 <E>
The phone number 012345 will be stored as phone number one.
