How to Call Your Modem
For any person to access your modem through The Stick II, they must know your
programmed Security Access Code for the port with your modem. Dialing your tele-
phone number and SAC is done on the remote computers communications software. It
should look something like this (for a HAYES-compatible modem):
ATDT 1 606 555 1234 , ,
*
3
The commas after the phone number are commands telling the modem to wait two
seconds per comma before dialing the SAC
*
3. You should instruct your friends to
time a call to your residence. Tell them to count the seconds between the last digit
dialed and the last ring to the phone before The Stick II answers the call (how many
rings before The Stick II answers). Divide that amount of seconds by two and you have
the needed number of commas between the phone number and SAC.
It is safe to repeat the SAC twice in the dialing string like so:
ATDT 1 606 555 1234 , ,
*
3 , ,
*
3
Note that additional commas will need to be inserted between the SACs at the end
of the dialing string.
Some modems cannot dial the
*
and # symbols. You may want to reprogram a
specific code for one time access by an outside caller. Again if you have any questions,
call our Technical Support line. They can help you out on timing or SACs.
