the DID phone number as you would from an outside line (it will not work to dial the number as if it
were an ordinary 3- or 4-digit extension).
g. In the Current Status: DID Modem screen, the "State" field should change to "Waiting for Connect."
On the phone, you should hear modem dialup/negotiation tones.
h. If you observe both the "Waiting for Connect" state and hear the tones, then the FaxFinder's DID
Modem has been configured properly.
