82 CHAPTER 7: PLACING, RECEIVING AND DISCONNECTING CALLS
Creating a Connection
Script You can choose to manually create a script from within a text editor of your choice
and copy and paste the script directly into the Script Configuration text box. Or
you may use the buttons located along the left side of the script window to guide
you through the scripting process.
Connection Script Command Syntax
The following section explains the valid script command syntax.
■The Begin command (begin) initiates the script. The first line of the script must
start with begin.
■The Delay command (delay
second)
designates a length of time to wait before
sending the next command in the script. The acceptable values are between
1-60 seconds.
■The SetPort command (setport
databit
,
parity
,
stopbit)
allows you to
match the script to the communication port settings of the remote server. The
valid databit is 8 or 7. The valid parity is none, even, or odd. The valid stopbit is
either 1 or 2.
■The Transmit command (transmit
“text string”
) sends a text string to the
remote server. An example of a transmit string might be your account
username or password. This text must be included between the quotation
marks. A carriage return is simulated by the characters ^M within the quotation
marks. The maximum length for this string is 64 characters.
■The WaitFor command (waitfor
“string, second”
) allows you to designate
the text that the script will wait for before proceeding. An example of text that
you might wait for is the string Username, for which you would send your
username as a reply. If the timeout period elapses before a matching string is
received, the script execution will abort. The maximum string length is 64
characters, and the acceptable second is between 1-60.
■The End command completes your script. The last line of your script must
conclude with end.

The text delay xx is entered in the script window.

The Data Bits dialog box opens.
5Enter the number of Data Bits required by your service provider. Click OK when
