Dial Modifiers (continued)

S=n Dial a Stored Telephone Number

The S modifier instructs the modem to dial a number that had been

previously stored by the use of the AT&Zn=x command. The

command to dial a stored telephone number is ATDS=n, where n

represents telephone number storage location 0 or 1. For example,

ATD P S=1 pulse dials the telephone number written to telephone

number storage location 1.

,

Delay Processing the Next Character

When the comma (,) modifier is included as part of the dial string

following the ATD command, the modem pauses before processing

the next character in the dial string. The duration of the pause is

dictated by the contents of S-Register S8.

The , modifier is frequently inserted after the digit (usually 9) used to

obtain an outside line from a PBX to allow sufficient time for the dial

tone to occur before the modem dials the telephone number. The W

modifier can be used in place of the comma.

Some countries place restrictions on the amount of time a modem

may delay during dialing.

T Tone Dialing Method

The T modifier is used with the Dial command to instruct the

modem to tone dial the telephone number that follows. See also the

ATT command.

W Wait for Second Dial Tone

The W modifier instructs the modem to wait for a dial tone before

processing the remaining characters in the dial string.

!

Hook Flash

The ! modifier serves as a switch hook (or hook flash) signal. This

causes the modem to hang up (go on-hook) for about 0.5 seconds

then return to off-hook (the actual duration of the hook flash varies

in different countries).
