Operating the System Remotely C-17
Composing a Modem Dial-Out String
The modem dial-out string emulates a user dialing an automatic paging service.
Typically, the user dials the pager phone number, waits for a tone, and then enters a
series of numbers.
The RCM dial-out string (Example C-4) has the following requirements:
• The entire string following the set rcm_dialout command must be enclosed by
quotation marks.
• The characters ATDT must be entered after the opening quotation marks. Do
not mix case. Enter the characters either in all uppercase or all lowercase.
• Enter the character X if the line to be used also carries voice mail. Refer to the
example that follows.
• The valid characters for the dial-out string are the characters on a phone keypad:
0–9, *, and #. In addition, a comma (,) requests that the modem pause for 2
seconds, and a semicolon (;) is required to terminate the string.
Elements of the Dial-Out String
ATXDT AT = Attention
X = Forces the modem to dial “blindly” (not look for a dial tone).
Enter this character if the dial-out line modifies its dial tone when
used for services such as voice mail.
D = Dial
T = Tone (for touch-tone)
, = Pause for 2 seconds.
9, In the example, “9” gets an outside line. Enter the number for an
outside line if your system requires it.
