Dial Modifier Definitions
, pause
This modifier orders the modem to pause before dialing the rest of the
phone number. This is useful when using a PBX and you need to dial a
number to connect to an outside line.
For example: If you must dial 0 to connect to an outside line before
dialing (09) 111-1234
• Type: ATD0,091111234 <E>
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.
; return to local command state
This modifier orders the modem to return to local command state —
without disconnecting — after it has dialed the number.
You may use this modifier to communicate with a mainframe computer
using security callback. Your modem dials the number of the mainframe
computer and then immediately returns to local command state. An-
other ATD command can then be used to generate the tones required for
the callback identity number.
The ; used in conjunction with the M2 command, allows you to return
to local command state with the speaker turned on, allowing you to
monitor the progress of the call at the remote modem.
P use Pulse dialing
T use Tone dialing
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.
