COURIER HIGH SPEED MODEMS
Data Mode Operations 4-5
" Dial the letters that follow (in an alphabetical phone
number). NOTE: If you are including another command
after the dial string, use closing quotation marks before
the additional command.
! Transfer a call (flash the switch-hook). This command
applies to modems in installations where other modems
share the phone line. The modem flashes the switch-
hook (goes off hook 0.5 seconds, on hook for 0.5 seconds
and off hook again) to dial the specified extension.
W This command is useful in situations where you must
wait for a second dial tone before continuing dialing. For
example, if you need to dial for an outside line, the
Courier continues dialing as soon as it detects the next
dial tone.
AT DT 9 W 5551234 <Enter>
NOTE: This command executes only if result code
option X3 or greater has been issued. If the modem is set
to X2 or lower, the modem interprets the W as a comma
(two-second pause).
@ Wait for an answer (with X3 or higher). Some online
services answer the phone and return a tape-recorded
request for information before processing transactions.
In such instances, the @ command can be used in the Dial
string to tell the modem to detect at least one ring, wait
for five seconds of silence at the other end of the call, and
then continue to execute the Dial string.
To use the @ command, set the modem to X3, X4 or X7.
If the modem is set to X2 or lower, the modem returns an
ERROR message when encountering the @ character in a
command string. If set to X5 or X6, the modem hangs up
when it detects a voice answer and sends the VOICE
result code.
/ A slash (/) causes a pause of only 125 milliseconds.
