Avaya 8400B Plus manual Automatic Answering, Remote Site Use

Data Operation

Automatic Answering

The 8400B Plus Data Module can be set up to answer incoming data calls automatically. To initialize this option, type the command line:

ATS0=nnn ENTER

where nnn is a decimal number in the range of 1 through 255, representing the number of rings to wait before answering. If nnn is 0 (the factory-default setting), the automatic answer feature is turned off.

Remote Site Use

The 8400B Plus Data Module can be used at a remote site as a dedicated service device to answer incoming data calls, send data to a remote end device, and then hang up. For example, you may wish to provide access to a printer from a remote site.

The following is a typical command line you might use for setting up this operation (spaces are used here for readability, but are not required):

AT &F &C1 &D2 E0 Q1 S0=1 &W0 &Y0 ENTER

Following the AT prefix, the commands in the example produce the following results:

■&F resets the options to the factory defaults.

■&C1 sets the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) circuit of the 8400B Plus Data Module to operate according to the EIA standard.

■&D2 sets the 8400B Plus Data Module to go on hook when an on-to-off transition is detected on the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) input, disconnecting the call.

■E0 turns off the echo.
