COURIER HIGH SPEED MODEMS

4-8 Data Mode Operations

The cycle continues until the modems connect or the modem
reaches a maximum of 10 attempts. The 10-try limit is
mandated by Industry Canada (IC) to prevent tying up local
telephone company exchanges with unconnected calls.

A>

This command combines the features of both the A/ and >
commands. The modem enters Repeat mode as described
above, and redials the Dial string in the command buffer. Like
the A/ command, A> does not take the AT prefix or a Carriage
Return.

Exit Repeat Mode

Should you use > or A> with a command other than a Dial
string, abort the cycle by pressing any key.

To abort automated redialing, be sure to press any key when the
result code appears, during the pause before the modem begins
dialing again. If you press any key while the modem is dialing,
that dial attempt is canceled but the cycle continues.

Answer Mode

Force Answer Mode

A

Force Answer mode when the modem hasn't received an
incoming call.

Auto Answer

incoming calls, do

one of the following:

1.

Before powering on the modem, set DIP switch 5 OFF.
When you turn the computer on, the modem answers
incoming calls on the first ring.

2.

When the modem is on, set your communications
software to enable auto answer. The following command
instructs the modem to answer on the first ring. (You can
substitute a higher value. See the S-Register summary in
Appendix B.)
