a dial tone while waiting for a dial in (ie, if the Modem State is set to Dial-in, or if
the Modem State is set to Dial-back and the SLB unit is in the Dial-in portion of
the sequence). The SLB device can issue a trap or an event can be setup to
notify the user if no dial tone is detected. Enabled by default (every 15 minutes).
