Table B-1. Modem Fields — Continued
	Modem
	Connection	Description
	Dial	This field has a default of “D” in a field 3 characters long. This field
	Command	denotes the dialing command of the modem. This is a standard
		command. This field is not case sensitive. Default is upper case.
	No Answer	Most external modems provide a timer that abandons any outbound data
	Time-Out	call after a predetermined interval. Some modems disable this timer,
		allowing an outbound call to ring indefinitely. Paradyne does not provide
		this capability because it is undesirable to have an outbound call attempt
		to ring indefinitely. Therefore, the initialization string must contain the
		following ASCII string to set the “No-Answer Timer” to the maximum value:
		S7=255. The internal modem must have this parameter disabled or set to
		at least 255 seconds. This is a non-administrable parameter.
		For the modem connection, this parameter is the first initialization string to
		be transmitted to the modem. This field is visible on the administration
		form in display mode only. The new field is set to S7=255. This hardcoded
		constant can be overridden for type approval applications, specifically in
		the United Kingdom and other Western European nations, by the use of
		the “Misc. Init. Param:” field. (S7=255)
