•Direct Dialing Mode — the StratagyIVP8 modem has a dedicated telephone line, enabling you
to dial into the number directly.
•Manual Dialing Mode — the StratagyIVP8 modem does not have a dedicated telephone line
and an operator must transfer the call to the modem number.
Note Manual dialing requires a standard telephone be connected to the Stratagy Admin PC
modem.
Earlier versions of the Stratagy Admin software permit only the direct dialing mode.

briefly on the screen and the Main Menu displays. Proceed to Step 11 “Configure
