Slash(!)
COURIER HIGH SPEED MODEMS
A slash(/) can be used in any command string to have the
modem pause for only 125 milliseconds. Some users find it
helpful to have the shorter delay of a series of slashes, rather
than the 2-second comma pause.
Wait for Another Dial Tone (W)
This command is useful in situations where you must wait for a
second dial tone before continuing dialing. For example, if you
need to dial for an outside line, as in the following example, the
Courier continues dialing as soon as it detects the next dial tone.
ATD9W1234567 <Enter>
NOTE: This command executes only if result code option X3 or
greater has been issued. If the modem is set to X2 or lower, the
modem interprets the Was a comma (two-second pause).
Dial and Return to Command Mode (;)
If your phone is plugged into the modem, you can use this
option to have the modem Auto Dial a telephone rather than a
modem. The Courier dials, remains off hook and returns the OK
message, indicating it is in Command mode.
For example, to have the modem place a voice call, enter the Dial
command with a semicolon:
ATDT5551234; <Enter>
When the modem returns the OK result, pick up your phone
receiver so you can talk to the other party, and send the com-
mand that hangs up the modem:
ATH <Enter>
Similarly, you can call a recorded weather or other service. Have
the modem Dial, listen to the recording over the modem's
speaker and, when you are finished, tell the modem to hang up.
Dialing Letters ('J
Quotation marks are used to have the modem dial abbreviations
and acronyms used as phone numbers, such as DIAL USR (the
USRobotics Sales
Department's 800 number). The option is
