BOCA PRO16 Reference Guide
Your modem is pre-configured to automatically answer any incoming
call, provided it is switched on, is in local command state, DTR is high
and is not performing a test. If you receive a call on the phone line the
modem is connected to, it will answer the call and attempt to connect to
the calling modem.
S Register 0 contains the number of rings the modem will wait before
answering a call. If a value of 4 is placed in S Register 0, the modem will
answer an incoming call immediately after the fourth ring. If a 0 value
is placed in S Register 0, the modem will not answer an incoming call.
The communications standard used by the modem in its attempt to
connect with a calling modem is determined by the B command.
If the phone does ring, and verbal response codes are selected (ATV1),
the modem will issue RING messages until the number of rings stored
in S Register 0 is reached. The modem will then go on line, transmit an
answer tone, and attempt to connect to the calling modem using the
communications standard selected by the B command.
By default the modem is set to B0. B0 is the auto range setting. This
should connect to virtually all communications standards and normally
you do not have to alter this.
As soon as a connection is established, the modem will send a CON-
NECT message to your computer and enter on-line state in answer
mode.
