When your modem senses a call coming in, it sends the result code RING to your computer, goes off hook, and negotiates for a connection. If there is no response within 60 seconds, the Business Modem hangs up.

If S0=0, Auto Answer is disabled. To determine if Auto Answer is NOT disabled send the command ATI4 and be sure that S0=1-255.
