Using SPM

Dialing the Modem Directly

To dial the modem directly, follow the steps below.

1Start SPM. When the Welcome message appears, press any key.

2Enter the command to put the modem in originate mode (this command varies depending on the type of modem you are using).

3Pick up the handset on the T/R telephone and dial the remote access trunk number.

This is possible only if a trunk is programmed as a dedicated trunk for remote access to the built-in modem.

4If the dial tone begins with three short tones followed by a steady tone, dial the remote access barrier code from the T/R telephone; otherwise, go to Step 5.

If you do not know the remote access barrier code, contact the customer’s system manager, or check Form 3a, Incoming Trunks: Remote Access.

If the system accepts the barrier code, you hear ringing followed by dial tone.

NOTE:

You can change the barrier code without knowing the old one only when you perform on-site maintenance through the ADMIN jack.

5Connect to the modem on the remote system. When you hear dial tone, dial *10.

6When you hear the modem tone, hang up.

If nothing appears on the SPM screen, press [Enter ].
