To save money, you may want to limit the time that a link is kept open. COD allows you to determine the traffic conditions that open and close the link. Using COD, a line is opened only when traffic conditions fulfill specified conditions. When there is no need for a connection, the line is automatically terminated.

COD is only effective if:

•The line is connected to a modem or ISDN (a dialup link)

•The link is asynchronous

•The connection type is Originate or Answer&Originate.

If the connection type is Answer only, the line connection is started when the unit is turned on in order to receive calls. If the connection type is Originate only or Answer&Originate the connection starts when a telephone number is defined.
