198 RLC Installation and Administration Guide
Configuring the RLC Standard 4.0
Modem options
This setting helps minimize the time required to establish a modem connection
when using a Remote Gateway 911x series unit with an on-demand allocation
over the PSTN. Click on this button to access a dialog box where you configure
the length of the answer tone on the answering modem when establishing a
connection between an RLC and a Remote Gateway 911x series unit. The
answer tone disables echo cancellers on long distance calls so that modem
training is not disrupted.
Note: The answer tone length represents a portion of the total time required for
the 911x and RLC to call, train and establish a connection.
V.32 Answer Tone Duration
The RLC passes this setting to the Remote Gateway 911x series unit when it
connects for the first time. For subsequent calls, the Remote Gateway 911x
series unit answers the modem with an answer tone of the correct duration.
Move the slider to the desired length of the answer tone on the receiving modem
according to the guidelines in the following table.
Note: This table is only a guide. Your individual situation (exact length of your
connections, long distance carrier, and so on) dictates the specific setting that
you need to configure. Start with the default setting and test from there. If the
connection does not establish, try configuring a longer answer tone by moving
the slider farther to the right
Setting Explanation
Min (Local Calls Only) Move the slider toward this setting if the RLC and
Remote Gateway 911x series unit are local to
one another.
Avg (Long Distance) This is the default setting. Move the slider closer
to this setting for long distance calls within the
same country.
Max (Very Long/International) Move the slider toward this setting if the RLC and
Remote Gateway 911x series unit are very far
apart, or in different countries.
