Black Box 3600 Placing a Call, Dialing with a Standard Telephone, Autodialing from Front Panel

Getting Started

Placing a Call

There are three methods for placing a call:

Dialing with a Standard Telephone

1)Lift the telephone receiver. Wait for the dial tone.

2)Dial the number of the remote site.

3)When the answer back tone is heard, immediately press the TALK/DATA button and hang up the telephone. The modems go through a connection sequence and establish a data link. If a data link is not established, return to Step 1.

4)After the link is established, hang up the telephone.

Autodialing from Front Panel

1)If the number to be dialed has not been stored, advance to Main Menu #6, CHANGE PHONE NUMBER.

2)Enter the number by using the NO pushbutton to scroll the menu and YES to select.

3)After the number is entered, press YES to store the number.

4)Advance the LCD to Main Menu #2, DIAL STORED NUMBER.

5)Select the number to dial and press YES. The number is dialed, and the modems follow the same process as two telephones.

Autodialing from a Terminal with the AT Commands

To dial a number, for example 555-1212, type AT D 555-1212and press Enter, or enter ATDSn where n equals one of the stored telephone number locations 1-9.

The modem dials the number--either pulse or tone, whichever is currently in effect--and takes the role of the originate modem.

Refer to the “Dial Commands” section on p age5-13 for additional dialing commands.
