Auto Answer
You can set an I-modem to receive calls unattended. Load your communications software
as you normally do, and set the I-modem to Auto Answer. Also, set your communications
software to save incoming messages and/or Þles.
To enable Auto Answer, send the following command (this example instructs an I-modem
to pick up on the Þrst ring):
ATS0=1 <Enter>
Note You can substitute a higher value. See the S-register summary in Appendix
A, Alphabetic Command Summary.
When an I-modem senses a call coming in, it sends the result code RING to your com-
puter, goes off hook, and negotiates for a connection. If there is no response within 60 sec-
onds, the I-modem hangs up.
Note You can adjust the 60-second wait-for-connection time using S-Register 7.
If a connection is made, the I-modem sends a CONNECT result code. When the call is
disconnected by you or the remote user, the I-modem hangs up and returns the NO CAR-
RIER code.
