Manual Dialing When the Remote Modem is Configured for Manual Answer

NOTE

On both modems, the Line Current Disconnect configuration option (refer to Line Dialer in Chapter 5, DCP Configuration) must be set to Disable.

This configuration option does not appear on Models 3910-A1-401 and 3911-B1-001.

If you are originating a call using a telephone and the remote modem is configured for Manual Answer, perform the following procedure.

Once the remote telephone is answered by the remote user, you must both decide when to place the modems into Data mode. You must both select Tlk/Data at approximately the same time and hang up the handset to begin the handshaking sequence.

If the handshake is successful, the modems are in Data mode and OnLine appears on the LCD.

NOTE

If the remote modem is not a 3900 Series modem, then the remote user must consult that modem’s operator’s manual to perform a similar operation.

Once the modems are online, the status messages listed in Table 3-3 in Chapter 3, DCP

Operation, appear on the Top-Level display.

It is not necessary to specify an originating or answering modem when dialing via the DCP because the answering modem detects that it is receiving a ringing voltage and automatically defaults to Answer mode.
