= SUMMARY =

The “Phone number:” option in Works is used to place the phone number you want your Hayes or Hayes-compatible modem to dial. Works automatically sends the Hayes dialing prefix (“ATDT” for tone dialing, or “ATDP” for pulse dialing) to the modem before sending this field. Works also will allow commas to be placed between digits in the phone number if it is necessary for pauses to occur during dialing.

For example, if you type “1,9,2268832”, Works will pause after dialing the number “1” and again after dialing the number “9”.

The “Modem setup:” option is used to send commands to your modem before the information in the Phone Number field is sent out. For example, if you want to adjust the speaker volume on a Hayes-compatible modem, place the command “ATL2” in this field to configure the modem volume level to “2”.

The “Dial type:” option is used to select the kind of dialing the phone line supports (that is, tone or pulse).

The “Automatic answer:” option allows you to configure Works to automatically answer calls on the incoming line. This option becomes active only after the Connect command is issued. Works ignores any data in the Phone Number field, but will still send any command in the Modem Setup field.
