When DTR dialing is enabled, an OFF-to-ON transition of DTR causes the ALX to
automatically dial the number stored in the phone cell displayed in the front panel AUTO-DIAL
screen. DTR must remain on for at least 50 ms to affect automatic dialing. A 50-ms drop of
DTR will abort the process or disconnect the call. When DTR goes high again for at least 50 ms,
the automatic dialing process will begin again.
Answer Mode Operation
If the modem is set for DTR dialing, it will automatically answer without DTR. However, it will
not be able to transfer data until DTR goes high. The call may be terminated by dropping DTR.
DIAL LINE AUTO-RECOVERY
The Dial Line Auto-Recovery feature allows you to set up the modem for a dial-up application
so it will automatically redial to restore a broken connection if the modem goes on-hook. In this
way, the Dial Line Auto-Recovery feature emulates the reliability of a leased line connection.
Setting up the ALX for Dial Line Auto-Recovery
Three steps are required to set up the modem for Dial Line Auto-Recovery:
1.
Store the phone number to be dialed and include the
/R
(dial line auto-recovery) command.
2.
Specify the phone cell where the number to be dialed for auto-recovery is stored.
3.
Enable Dial Line Auto-Recovery.
Storing the Phone Number With /R Command
To configure the modem for Dial Line Auto-Recovery from the front panel, access the PHONE
CELL: screen and use the PROG selection to store the phone number to be dialed for auto-
recovery. Include the
/R
command immediately after the phone number:
An alternate way to store a phone number for Dial Line Auto-Recovery (in Hayes mode only) is
to use the Hayes AT &Z command to store the phone number and the /R command in a phone
cell by entering:
