The initial AT comes from Call-UPS II. Do not include it in the Dial
String. In this example, the Dial String is
DT9,5551212@
.
DT
instructs
the modem to dial in tone mode. The 9 and comma are only needed when
Call-
UPS II
is used with a phone system that requires dialing 9 for an out-
side line. The comma adds a pause. The @ symbol at the end of the pager
phone number sets the modem to “wait for quiet answer” (five seconds

in the example comes from item number 8, Site

also issues the semicolon at the end of the modem command.
