SNA Node and Link Configuration
Configuring the SNA Node and Link
Default: N
Phone Number
The number you want the link to dial into. Note that
you specify this field
only if you are using an auto-dial
modem.
Allowable Characters:
• Any of the 12 phone characters: 012345678
9 * #
• - = A spacing character, used for readability
purposes.
• D = Pause for three seconds.
• E = The end of the phone number. This character
might be required by the modem; check your modem
manual for details. Do not use this unless you know
the modem/auto-call unit (ACU) requires it.
• / = Wait for a second dial tone. When the modem
encounters this character, it waits for another dial
tone. This can be used when an outside line must be
accessed before the actual phone number is dialed.
NOTE Only 34 characters can be entered. So, if you have more than one access
number to dial, you might not be able to use the dash (-) spacing
character.
Example:
Suppose this is typed in the Phone Number field:
9-DD-415-555-3216
• 9 is an access number to an outside line.
• DD means to pause six seconds before dialing the
next set of numbers.
• 4155553216 is the number you want to dial, where
415 is the area code 5553216 is the specific number
• The dashes are used for readability.
