Dial

Dial allows you to dial any telephone number stored in directory locations 1±10. Any telephone number dialed using the SDCP must already exist in a directory location. Refer to Change Directory for information on storing telephone numbers in directory locations.

To dial a number from the Call Setup branch, make the following selections:

1.Select Dial by pressing F1. The first directory telephone number is displayed.

2.To view other directory locations, select Nxt.

3.Once the directory location you want appears on the LCD, press the F2 or F3 key to dial the number.

If the connection is successful, the modem is online and one of the Normal Operation status messages appears on the LCD. If the connection is not successful, the LCD displays one of the Call Failure status messages. See Table 3-3.

If DTE dialing is enabled and any character is received from the DTE before the modem goes online, the dial sequence is aborted. This is known as any-key abort.
