7 P LACING AND R ECEIVING C ALLS This chapter illustrates ho w to place and receive a v ariety of calls with your 3C882 ISDN modem. The 3C882 ISDN modem uses A T commands and S registers for call management.
7-2 C HAPTER 7: P LACING AND R ECEIVING C ALLS Placing Calls A utomatically If you are using standard communications software , select the 3ComImpact IQ ISDN modem. If the 3ComImpact IQ ISDN modem is not listed , select a Hayes ® -compatible modem configuration and dial out through the 3C882 ISDN modem.
Placing ISDN Data Calls 7-3 circuit-switched ISDN modem commands with dial strings are: A T D 1 408 654 2703 A TD14086542703 F or a summar y of the A T command set, see Appendix B. 4 Press [Ent er] or [Return]. After completing its tasks, the 3C882 ISDN modem sends a message to the screen.
7-4 C HAPTER 7: P LACING AND R ECEIVING C ALLS ATD <telephone number> An example is as follows: A TD 1 908 555 1212 Some Internet service providers may require y ou to dial two telephone numbers to place a Multilink PPP call. In this case , the ampersand (&) character is used to dial two telephone numbers.
Receiving ISDN Data Calls 7-5 either via the Configuration dialog box or setting S register 61=0. By setting S register 61=1, all outgoing calls will be T ollMizer calls . Alternatively , you can place T ollMizer calls on a call by call basis using the command A TDD <telephone number>.
7-6 C HAPTER 7: P LACING AND R ECEIVING C ALLS If Auto Answer is enabled , the call is automatically answered and a C ONNECT message, indicating the speed of the connection, is delivered to the RS-232 port. When the 3C882 ISDN modem receives a voice call, the B channel LED(s) flash green and then remain lit once the call is answered .
ISDN Call Logging 7-7 T roubleshooting If both por ts are busy , and Call W aiting has been disabled (i.e., S76), the third incoming call generates a busy signal to the far end.
7-8 C HAPTER 7: P LACING AND R ECEIVING C ALLS This information is cleared upon restarting or power cycling the unit. T o clear the Call Logging information manually , use terminal emulation software to enter the command A TN0.
