DTR Dialing ($D) Command

DTR Dialing is an alternate method of causing the 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 RS-232 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 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.

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.

ITU V.25bis Country Specific Information
