Directory
The DSU’s dial backup Directory (Dir) can store up to
ten telephone numbers (dial strings) so the DBM can call
other DBMs or modems. Directory entries are numbered
from 1 to 10. Each dial string in the directory can be up to
36 characters in length. Refer to
Table 4-6 for numbers
and characters that can be used.
When the dial string or changes are complete, enter an
underscore ( _ ) to the immediate right of the last
character; this ends the dial string field.
NOTE
Do not load duplicate telephone
numbers into the Directory;
telephone numbers should be
unique.
