New/Edit Dial String View
Figure 51 shows a menu in which a user can dene or modify a dial string. If a dial string that is
non-null is set to null (cleared), then when the OK button is clicked, that entry in the dial string list
shows up as “Not Congured”. If the Cancel button is clicked, the list of dial strings is shown again
unmodied from the last time it was displayed.
Figure 51. New/Edit Dial String View
The valid dialing digits are 0-9, *, #, A, B, C, D. A dial string can also contain any of the following
character options:
• P – dial using pulse. Dialing digits following the ‘P’ will be sent using pulse dialing.
• T – dial using tone. Dialing digits after the ‘T’ will be sent using touch tones.
• R – reverse frequencies. Forces the modem to dial out at the answering frequency.
• S=n – dial a pre-stored phone number n.
• W – wait for dial tone.
• @ - wait for quiet (answer).
• comma (‘,’) – pause 2 seconds.
• semicolon(‘;’) – return to command mode after dialing.
• ! – ash the switch hook.
Page Destination Conguration View
The menu shown in Figure 52 shows the settings for each page destination that can be reached by
sending a page out the serial/modem channel. A page destination is made up of a dial string to be
called when a page is to be sent out, retry information for the page, and conguration of the modem
at the destination. The number of destinations is platform-dependent; for the MAXDATA PLATINUM
9000-4R Server, the number of page destinations is 8. Note that all page destinations are shown in
this view. The Dial String column displays “Not Congured” for any entry that has not been setup
by the user.
The set of data shown for each page destination includes the dial string, call retries, ow control,
baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits for the destination modem. These settings are described in
more detail in the next section. This view also displays general settings that apply to all alerts to be
sent as dial pages.
