Dialing Parameters
To configure the dialing parameters, select the " Communication..." command in the "Configuration" menu or click on the button . On the displayed dialog box, select the "Dialing" tab.
The configurable dialing parameters are:
Max length on internal dial number When a dial prefix is defined for a communication port, this prefix will be automatically added at head of the dial numbers having a length greater than the size defined here. Character to suppress the dialing prefix The character defined here can be added at head of a dial number to notify that this number is an internal dial number and the dial prefix defined for the used line have not to be added. This character will be never dialed. Character to force the dialing prefix The character defined here can be added at head of a dial number to notify that this number is an external dial number and the dial prefix defined for the used line have to be added. This character will be never dialed. International prefix The international prefix of the country where is installed the software can be defined in this field. It authorizes the definition of the telephonic numbers used by the application with the following format: +<international prefix>(<telephone provider prefix>)<number>
That numbers can be exchanged between stations located in different countries. The international prefix of the station that dials the number is compared with the number international prefix to determine the format of the number that is really dialed. For example, if the number to dial is defined by +33(0)476041100, the dialed number will be 0476041100 if the defined international prefix is 33, or +33476041100 if the defined international prefix is not 33. Automatic selection of internal/external line When this option is checked, the port to use to transmit a call will be select according to the internal / external type of the dial number, in accordance with the defined dialling rulers (max length of internal number, forcing or suppression of prefix). If the number to call is an internal number, only the lines defined as internal (dial prefix defined for the associated communication port) will be used. If the number to call is an external number, all the lines can be used, except those that have been specified as exclusively internal (dial prefix "-"). Max time to wait to answer Maximal time to wait for answer after dialing. After this time without answer, the call is considered as failed (no answer). Test cycle for port opening When this value is non null, the ports that cannot be open by the software (used by another application, remote control application for example) are periodically checked following the defined cycle. Telephone line test cycle When this value is non nu ll, the modems for which the line test has been validated are periodically checked for line test following the defined cycle. Failed modem test cycle When this value is non null, the modems considered as in fail state are periodically checked following the defined cycle.
