Modem 34336
2.4 Basic Operation
This section provides basic information for each of the modem’s primary operating modes. If you encounter difficulty, refer to Section 2.5, Problem Solving.
2.4.1
Dialing a Phone Number. To dial a telephone number in Hayes mode, type the Hayes command
AT D on your computer or terminal keyboard, followed by the number you want to call and <cr>. Example:
AT D 5551212 <cr>
Dashes or spaces may be included for clarity, but they are not necessary. The Modem ignores them.
A carriage return (<cr>) is required at the end of each command. On most keyboards, the carriage return (<cr>) key is labeled Enter or Return.
In response to the command line shown above, the Modem will dial the number
If you need an access code (such as 9) to dial out of your building, insert the access code and a comma in the dial string:
AT D 9,5551212 <cr>
The Modem pauses for 2 seconds at the comma. This allows the Modem to wait for a second dial tone (after the access code) before dialing the number.
