Section Four

Receiving an Incoming Call

Your communications software may be able to accept incoming calls automatically or semiautomatically. Refer to your communications software documentation for information.

If your communications software can not automatically accept incoming calls, start your communications software and follow these instructions to receive a call.

You can set your Trumpcard Modem to auto-answer incoming calls using the S0 register. The S0 register contains the number of rings before answering and can be any number from 0 to 255 (Zero rings means do not answer).

If the Modem is not set to auto-answer and an incoming call arrives, the Modem will respond with a RING prompt. To answer the call, enter:

ATA [ENTER]

This tells the Modem to respond with a carrier signal. Once the connection is established, the Modem will prompt with CONNECT.

Setting up for a Cellular Connection

The Trumpcard Modem with the cellular option supports direct connection to cellular phones, eliminating the need for other intelligent interfaces.

In order to set up the Trumpcard Modem to recognize and control the cellular phone you are using, software provided with the optional cellular kit must be uploaded to the Modem. Once the software is uploaded, the cellular operation is transparent to any communications software you may be using.
