Dialling
Once a site has been selected from the sites list, hit the dial button. This will invoke a form that will initialise the
modem and then start dialling the site’s phone number. Any dialling errors like ‘no dial tone’ or ‘modem not
responding’ will be reported.
Once the interconnect has answered the phone call, it will start playing its custom voice message. Once this
message is complete, hit the connect button which will switch both modems into data mode. Alternatively this will
automatically be done after 30 seconds, removing any need for user intervention.
When a modem carrier is detected the dialling form will be closed, and any automatic events will be initiated. The
status of these auto events will be displayed in the program log. If ‘hang-up’ on auto completion is selected then
the modem will hang-up, otherwise the software will be left in an interactive (on-line) state, allowing the user to do
whatever they wish on-line.
