Auto-answer is set differently for each type of communications program. If

you want to set auto-answer yourself, use the following table as a guide.

Type of program How to set auto-answer

MacTerminal and other Set the program’s S0 register. See the program’s user’s guide for

terminal emulators information on setting the S0 register, or use the AT commands listed

in Appendix B.

AppleTalk Remote Access Use an AppleTalk Remote Access CCL script. CCL scripts are

and other servers included on the Express Modem disk. See Appendix C.

The Express Fax Select Auto-Answer in Fax Terminal Fax menu and set the number of

software rings in Fax Terminal Preferences. See Chapter 4.

You may also want to turn off auto-answer when your modem shares the line

with a telephone to make sure that the modem does not answer your

incoming calls before you do. Installing a separate phone line just for the

modem is another solution.

Answering manually

Communications software programs contain an Auto-Answer command that

sets your modem to manage calls automatically. The Auto-Answer command

sets your modem’s S0 register.

The modem cannot auto-answer a call if its S0 register is set to 0. In this case,

a communications program must be open and must issue the ATA command

in order to answer a call. (See Appendix B for information on the ATA

command—and all the AT commands.)

To set a communications program to issue the ATA command, see the

following table.

Type of program How to manually answer (issuing the ATA command)

MacTerminal and other Issue the ATA command. For information, see the

terminal emulators AT command set listed in Appendix B.
