DTR Dialing ($D) Command

DTR Dialing is an alternate method of causing the Series II Modem to automatically dial a number. Data Terminal Ready (DTR) is a signal that comes into the modem from the terminal or computer to which it is connected via pin 20 of the RS232 interface. In DTR Dialing, the modem will automatically dial a stored number as soon as it receives a high DTR signal. The DTR Dialing method is popular when using the Modem in synchronous applications.

To enable DTR Dialing, enter the command AT$D1 and hit Return. The modem will now dial the phone number you have stored as N0 when it receives a high DTR signal (see the D...N command in Chapter 5).

DTR must remain high for the duration of the call, until disconnect. To disable DTR Dialing, enter the command AT$D0 (or AT$D) and hit

RETURN.

When you use DTR Dialing, be sure that DIP-Switch #1 is in the UP position, so that DTR is not forced on.

In addition, when using DTR Dialing in a synchronous application, be sure that DIP-Switch #8 is in the UP position to disable V.25bis Command mode.
