23.4 Adding a modem pool master connection
A modem pool master connection is used by a protocol component to make outgoing calls to a
device. This connection makes the link between the protocol component and the modem pool.
To add a modem pool master connection, proceed as follows:
In the left pane, click Connections, then on Modem Masters.
In the right pane:
Type the name of the connection.
Specify, via the drop-down list, the modem pool with which the connection will be
associated. The modems belonging to the specified modem pool will be used to make
outgoing calls for this connection.
Type the phone number and a supplementary AT initialization string. The phone number
is mandatory and can contain any characters recognized by the modem. See your modem
documentation about the availability and meaning of each dialing option. This setting
cannot contain the ATDT prefix, since the latter is already configured in the modem
settings. The supplementary AT initialization string is an optional AT string that will be
sent to the modem just before the calling ATDTxxx command. This setting can be used
to fine-tune modem options for specific calls, which means that you can override options
specified in the general modem initialization string.
23.5 Adding a modem pool slave connection
A modem pool slave connection is used by a protocol component to receive incoming calls from a
control center. This connection makes the link between the protocol component and the modem
pool.
To add a modem pool slave connection:
In the left pane, click Connections, then on Modem Slaves.
In the right pane:
Type the name of the connection.
Specify, via the drop-down list, the modem pool with which the connection will be
associated. Calls received by this modem pool will be dispatched to this connection
component if the DEVICE ADDRESS matches.
