Blind dialing
Blind dialing means that the modem dials out even though a dial tone cannot
be detected. Blind dialing is useful in certain situations, such as hotel rooms
where the modem may have difficulty recognizing the dial tone on the hotel
PBX. The ATX command controls blind dialing. Clicking the Ignore dial tone
when dialing checkbox has the effect of setting ATX=3 for all applications.
Leaving Ignore dial tone when dialing unchecked allows you to control blind
dialing at the application level.
. See also: ATX command in Appendix B.
Auto-Answer
Clicking the Do not answer incoming calls checkbox has the effect of setting
AT S0=0 for all applications, including terminal emulation and
communications programs, and takes precedence over all application settings.
In fact, once you have clicked this button restricting incoming calls, typing
AT S0=2 in a communications program, such as MacTerminal, will return OK,
but the modem will not answer and the modem profile won’t change.
Leaving Do not answer incoming calls unchecked allows you to control
auto-answer at the application level. You may wish to do this because you
want to answer manually with a certain application or for other reasons.
. See also: “Setting auto-answer at the application level” in this Appendix.
