The time entered into the Wait for Connection field should be no less
than the time entered in the Wait for 2-4 rings during field. The Wait for
Connection field defines the time (in seconds) it takes to dial to the
control panel, for the control panel to answer, and for the control panel
modem and the PC to establish connection.
Tip: If you are not sure of the time to enter in the Wait for 2-4 rings
during and Wait for Connection fields, enter a high number (i.e. 100
seconds), initiate connection as detailed in Connecting by Remote
Connection in Chapter 7. Time on your watch the number of seconds
your modem takes for 2 rings and then click Hang Up. Enter the number
of seconds entered in the Wait for 2-4 rings during field and Wait for
Connection fields.

commands is correct for the selected modem.
