Independent Mode Operation in PhoneTools
In PhoneTools, Independent mode control is provided in two dialog boxes: the Inde-
pendent Mode Configuration dialog box, and the Independent Mode Control dia-
log box. When PhoneTools is running, you can open either dialog box to change
settings, download files, or do any work related to Independent mode.

Independent Mode Configuration Dialog Box

The Independent Mode Configuration dialog box (Figure 3-1) enables you to:
•Turn Independent mode on or off while the PhoneTools is running.
•Specify whether Independent mode should be activated when PhoneTools closes.
•Turn on call screening.
•Specify an access code for remote message retrieval.
•Select and download an Independent mode greeting message to the modem.
•Display which Independent mode greeting message is stored in the modem.
If automatic activation of Independent mode is selected, the settings are uploaded to
the modem when you exit the application. If automatic activation cannot be com-
pleted for any reason (e.g., modem not responding, no greeting message specified,
etc.), you are notified so you can return to PhoneTools to fix the problem.
