Disable Data Metering Feature

This option is set, by default, for Yes. This requires the 8400B Plus Data Module to adjust its transfer speed to match the transfer speed of the remote system. The CONNECT xxxx message is displayed to indicate the transfer speed selected when the connection is made.

Changing this option to No allows the user to set up a call to a remote end that is running at a slower speed than the local data module, without having to lower the speed of the terminal. The CONNECT xxxx message will always indicate the speed of the local data transfer. The 8400B Plus Data Module performs the speed conversion and uses the Clear to Send (CTS) lead to flow-control the user’s terminal if it is sending too much data too fast.

NOTE:

If you are using a PC with a communications package, or a dedicated terminal that does not support CTS control, you cannot make file transfers with the data metering feature enabled.

NOTE:

A change in the setting of this option becomes effective immediately when the 8400B Plus Data Module is in the idle mode or as soon as it is returned to the idle mode. The 8400B Plus Data Module is in idle mode any time that it is not in test mode or connected to an active data call.

Immediate Speakerphone Activation

This option is set, by default, for Yes. This permits the speakerphone (if available) to be activated before dialing, and allows the user to hear the dial-tone and touch-tones when the Telephone Provides Dialing option is set to Yes. (See ‘‘Telephone Provides Dialing’’ on page 2-13.)

Setting this option to No causes the speakerphone to be activated after dialing. The user can still hear the far-end ringing and answering.
