Multi-Tech Systems MT5634ZLX/FE manual Dialing and Answering Techniques

Chapter 2 - Quick Start

To test the telephone line connection, issue the manual answer command ATA<Enter>. The MT5634ZLX/FE will pick up the phone line and try to communicate. Normally, this command is only used to answer an incoming call made from another modem. Thus the high-pitched noise you will hear from the speaker. To abort the operation, click any key, or select “Disconnect” from the “Call” menu.
