USING the ASAP 104
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Special operating note
Before operating the ASAP
104, be sure that you
understand the following
information concerning the
telephone equipment that is
used with the ASAP 104. Fax
CNG tones: Most faxes send
audible beep tones called CNG
(
C
alli
NG
) tones. This tone is a
distinct beep that repeats every
three (3) seconds. Once a fax
has dialed the destination fax
number, it generates this tone while
waiting for the receiving fax to
answer. Not all faxes transmit this
tone when they call. Most, but not all
faxes produce this through their auto-
dial feature, speed-dial memory
position, or by the operator pressing
the start button on the fax machine
after the number is dialed. For best
results, callers should have your
number programmed into their fax
machine "speed-dial" memory.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Receiving a computer call
Unlike a fax call, most inbound computer calls do
not produce identifying tones; they remain silent
until another modem answers the call. To receive a
computer call to a port on the ASAP 104, instruct the
caller to use one of the following methods. (In this
example we use a modem.)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Computer calls using port access codes in dialing strings
To have the calling modem automatically
"over dial" an access code to a modem
connected to the ASAP 104, the caller must
take into consideration whether the call is
local or long distance. For remote access to
port P3 on the ASAP 104, instruct the caller
to use the following dialing string in the
modem's software:
ATDT (phone number),
#33
,
#33
,
#33
,
#33
(for
Automatic mode)
ATDT (phone number),,,
#33
,
#33
,
#33
,
#33
(for Semi-Automatic mode)
The calling modem picks up its phone line
and dials the phone number. The comma (,)
tells the modem to wait about two (2)
seconds and then repeatedly "over dial" the
access code.
NOTE: Not all modem comma (,)
commands delay dialing for a 2 second
interval. See your modem Operator's Guide
and adjust the number of commas you use
accordingly. In the Automatic mode, the
ASAP 104 will answer a call, detect the
tones and transfer the call to port P3.
In the Semi-Automatic mode, you or your
answering machine will answer the call, and
then the ASAP 104 will detect the tones and
transfer the call to port P3. For long distance
remote access to port P3, instruct the caller
to use the following dialing string in the
modem's software:
ATDT 1 (phone number),,,
#33
,
#33
,
#33
,
#33
(for automatic mode)
ATDT 1 (phone number),,,,,
#33
,
#33
,
#33
,
#33
(for Semi-Automatic mode)
NOTE: In the Semi-Automatic mode, the
commas entered before the #33 are set to
your answering machine's 2-ring answer.
Use 3 additional commas for each ring that
your answering machine is set to answer
above 2 rings.
For calls requiring access to other ports,
substitute the appropriate access codes:
port P1
# 1 1
port P2
# 2 2
port P4
# 4 4
