Dial Modifiers for Special Dialing Requirements
When entering telephone numbers into modem memory or dialing directly from the
modem’s front panel, you can add dial modifiers to telephone numbers. Table A-4
lists the dial modifiers used in AT ACU applications.

Dial Wait Instructs the modem to stop and wait for a dial tone. If the modem
does not detect a dial tone after a specified period, it aborts the
call. The factory default for dial wait is country-specific (refer to
Appendix C for details). In the U. S. A., the default is two seconds.
You can change this interval using the Dial Wait option.

Pause
Delay When any of these modifiers are encountered in a dial string or
command line, the modem pauses. The factory default pause delay
is three seconds. This default can be extended with the Pause
Delay command. The comma modifier can be used as a command
outside the dial string.
P

Pulse When either of these modifiers are encountered in a dial string, if
Dial=Auto (AT
* PT—DIALING OPTS menu), the Dial setting is
not changed from Auto. If set to other than Auto, the pulse/tone
setting is modified to force pulse dialing.
If no pulse dial modifier is inserted in the number stream, the
modem dials according to the pulse/tone setting of the Dial option
in the front panel DIALING OPT’S menu. These modifiers can
also be used as commands outside the dial string.

Tone When either of these modifiers are encountered in a dial string, if
Dial=Auto (AT
* PT—DIALING OPTS menu), the Dial option
setting is not changed from Auto. If set to other than Auto, the
pulse/tone setting is modified to force tone dialing.
If no tone dial modifier is inserted in the number stream, the
modem dials according to the pulse/tone setting or the Dial option
in the front panel DIALING OPT’S menu. These modifiers can
also be used as a command outside of the dial string.

Flash Instructs the modem to flash hook (a control signal used by many
PBXs to enable special dial features, such as transferring a call).
; Return to
command
state after
dialing Instructs the modem to return to command state after dialing, with-
out breaking the connection. The modem can dial but cannot train,
and no call progress messages are received. This modifier is used
when calling an electronic service that permits the user to transmit
numbers using tones, once a connection is established.
