Manual Dialing When the Remote Modem is Configured forManual Answer
NOTE
On both modems, the Line Current Disconnect configuration option
(refer to Line Dialer in Chapter 5, DCP Configuration) must be set to
Disable.
This configuration option does not appear on Models 3910-A1-401
and 3911-B1-001.
If you are originating a call using a telephone and the remote modem is configured for Manual
Answer, perform the following procedure.
Once the remote telephone is answered by the remote user, you must both decide when to place
the modems into Data mode. You must both select Tlk/Data at approximately the same time and
hang up the handset to begin the handshaking sequence.
If the handshake is successful, the modems are in Data mode and OnLine appears on the LCD.
NOTE
If the remote modem is not a 3900 Series modem, then the remote
user must consult that modem’s operator’s manual to perform a
similar operation.
Once the modems are online, the status messages listed in Table 3-3 in Chapter 3, DCP
Operation, appear on the Top-Level display.
It is not necessary to specify an originating or answering modem when dialing via the DCP
because the answering modem detects that it is receiving a ringing voltage and automatically
defaults to Answer mode.
