BOCA PRO16 Reference Guide
The length of the pause is determined by the value in S Register 8.
FUK Modems. If your PBX requires more than four seconds to obtain
a line, add no more than one extra < to your dial command.
P use Pulse dialing (V.25bis)
T use Tone dialing (V.25bis)
These modifiers are only active while dialing the current numbers. They
do not affect the default.
Your modem can use either pulse (decadic) or tone (DTMF) dialing.
The P dial modifier orders the modem to use pulse dialing. The T dial
modifier orders the modem to use tone dialing.
If you are not sure which dialing is used by your phone, lift up the
handset and listen. If you hear a continuous dial tone, you probably can
use tone dialing. Normally, only older telephone exchanges do not
support tone dialing.
If you are still in doubt, use pulse dialing. Most exchanges supporting
tone dialing also support pulse dialing, although the reverse is not
always true.
Contact the supplier of your telephone line if you wish to have tone
dialing accessible on your line.
FPulse dialing may not be supported in New Zealand. Refer to your
Installation Guide for details.
& Hook Flash (V.25bis)
The & dial modifier issues a hook flash signal — the modem hangs up
for a short period.
Hook flashes are commonly used with PBXs to transfer calls.
For example:
To dial 0, hook flash and then dial 12345:
• Type: CRN0&12345 <E>
FUK Modems. Use of the hook flash is not allowed in the United
Kingdom.
