1. Voice Mode: Commands used to put the modem into Voice Mode so we can detect
DTMF tones. (D=AT#CLS=8#VRN=0#VRA=0\ r)
 Data Mode: Commands used to put the modem back into data mode so we can dial
normally if we want to. (D=AT#CLS=0\ r)
 Modem Reset: Command to reset the modem. (D=ATZ\ r)
 Modem Hangup: Command used to hang up the modem. (D=+++ATH\ r)
 Modem Initialize: Command sent to the modem to initialize it before dialing.
(D=ATE0V1M0\ r)
 Request ID: Commands sent to the emergency phone to ask for the ID again in the
event of a mismatched ID. (D=AT #VTS*,9,*\ r)
 Status Timer: The poller wakes up at this interval to check for phones to be polled.
(D=5)
 Re-Dial Delay: The poller sleeps this many seconds after polling a phone and before
going to the next phone in the queue. (D=0)
 Hang Up Phone Delay: If this value is not zero, the poller will wait this many
seconds after receiving the phone ID and then send a # to the emergency phone to
cause it to hang up. (D=1)
 Consolidator Delay: If in the phone string the poller finds a *, it assumes the phone
is going to dial a consolidator and will insert this number of commas before the *. A
comma is a pause to a modem which can be controlled by the user in the modem
initialization string. The default pause time is 2 seconds, so a value of 6 would wait
12 seconds before sending data. (D=7)
Example: If the phone number is 4-5512*43* the modem would dial 45512,,,,,,*43*.
This would result in the sending of 45512 to the modem, waiting 12 seconds (6x2)
and then sending *43* to the consolidator to poll phone #3.
 Data Time Out: Once a phone number has been dialed this timer starts. The poller
waits this many seconds to receive data back from the phone. If this time elapses
with out getting back the MINIMUM RESULT LENGTH of characters, we conclude
that we did not get an answer from the phone and we report NO ANSWER. This is
an important value to change when dealing with consolidator delays, especially if
you have a long delay and go over an outside line. (D=30)
