Connect Timeout:
The maximum amount of time that the radio will wait for a connection response,
configurable between 100 and 30000ms.
Escape character (i.e., +):
Sets the escape character. This is the character that is used in the escape
sequence to return from online state to local command state. The escape sequence consists of the
escape character being typed three times, with set communication-free periods of time before and
after the sequence. Back-to-back repeaters used in Hayes dial-up mode should have the escape
character set to ‘-‘. See the section Back-to-back Repeater Operation on page 29.
Escape guard time:
The time before and after the escape sequence has been entered that there needs
to be no activity for the radio to enter local command state.
Hang-up on DTR (low):
DTR is an RS-232 signal used to indicate to the radio whether the local
terminal is ready to communicate. Hang-up on DTR (low) causes a connection to be broken
whenever the DTR line is low.
Hang-up on DTR Dropped:
Hang-up on DTR dropped is used to disconnect whenever DTR
changes from a high to a low.
Local on DTR (low):
When DTR is low the radio goes into local command state. This is equivalent
to typing the escape sequence. Once the unit is in local command state, it will only return to online
state if the
ATO
command is issued. DTR should be high at this time to prevent the radio
immediately returning to local command state.
Ignore DTR:
The radio does not use the DTR signal to control its connection state.
Echo (ON/OFF):
Toggles the echo setting between on and off. When on characters typed at the
terminal will be echoed back to the screen while in local command state.
Response codes (ON/OFF):
This toggles whether the radio returns response codes. If the response
codes are on, all codes such as
OK
,
CONNECT
, and
NO CARRIER
will be returned to the terminal.
Auto-answer (ON/OFF):
When auto-answer is on, the radio will automatically answer any
incoming call after the maximum number of rings has passed. When auto-answer is off the
ATA
command must be used to answer an incoming call.
Set Max Rings:
Sets the number of
RING
messages to output before automatically answering.
Set to Defaults:
Restores the Hayes settings to their factory defaults for the selected port. The
factory defaults are given in Appendix D on page 105.
