Options | Program options | Communication
 
The Communication mask allows you to set parameters for the modem that connects your PC to the communication system (if you are using a modem).

12.1.3.1  

Area: Modem Settings 
The communication system will automatically assign the remaining values in the Modem Settings area after you have selected the Modem Type. When selecting New Modem as the modem type, the values must be entered manually.
The modem tested for the US is the US Robotics Sportster Flash.  

Modem Type  
The Modem type list can be used to select the defined modem types via the ini file (see also File ass_150e.ini).
When selecting New Modem as the modem type, the values must be entered manually.

12.1.3.2  

Area: Modem control 

Dialing  
The suffix for the CO seizure code is entered via Dialing.
This parameter may be set for
   -   1) the pulse dialing procedure ATDP (Attention Dial Pulse) or
   -   2) the tone dialing procedure ATDT (Attention Dial Tone).
The default for all of the listed modem types is ATDT.Amtsbelegungskennziffer

Hang up  
The command for switching the modem to command mode is entered here. The command entered under Hang up is transmitted one second after this command has been sent to the modem. This command should allow the modem to hang up. The standard value must, as a rule, not be changed.

Reset  
The initialization command for the modem is entered here.

Init  
The modem command that sets the modem to the required mode is entered here. The standard modem commands are preset. If you select one of the modem types listed in the Modem types list, this parameter will be set automatically. If you select the New Modem entry, you must enter the appropriate init string manually.
If the modem is to create a connection over a communications server, the parameter X3 in the init string must be included. It causes the modem to make a connection without a continuous dial tone.
Automatic answering must be deactivated for the PC modem (the factory setting of fax modems is usually set to automatic answering by default).  
Depending on the modem installed, the init string should changed to AT&FS0=0.

12.1.3.3  

Area: Modem answer 

Connection  
This is the modem answer that is expected after a successful connection setup.

12.1.3.4  

Area: Timers 

Dialing  
This parameter defines how long the modem will wait for the connection before it redials. This value depends on the basic configuration of the modem and the dialing method. Valid values range from 0 to 999 seconds. The default, appropriate for most circumstances, is 40 seconds.

Redial Pause  
This parameter defines the length of the pause between dialing attempts. Valid values range from 0 to 999 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.

Number Redial  
This parameter defines how many times the system should attempt to dial the number. Valid values range from 0 to 999 times. The default is 10 times.

Release at  
This parameter defines the time after which the connection between the PC and the communication system is automatically released. The release time begins on completing the administration activity. The valid range is between 60 and 9999 seconds. If the value 0 is entered, then the connection is not automatically released depending on the time.

12.1.3.5  

Area: Interface 

Port  
The Port drop-down list box is used to select the COM port number (COM 1 to COM 4) and to thus notify HiPath 3000 Manager to which port the connection cable to the communication system is attached or, in the case of a modem connection, which port is used by the modem. The default is COM 1.
