Table 2-10: Non-Windows Modem Connection Properties
Property Description

modems emulate a COM port. Consult the modem documentation or the
Windows Control Panel to determine which COM port the modem emulates.
Modem Type

to define or edit a modem type.
Telephone Number The telephone number to dial if the connection is a modem connection. Insert
the tilde (~) character to impose a delay in the dialing process.
Connection
Timeout
The maximum number of seconds to wait for the modem connection to be
established.
2.5.6. Modems
APIcom maintains a list of all the non-Windows modems, which can be accessed by selecting Settings-
Modems or clicking on the
toolbar button (refer to Figure 2-15). The list of Windows modems is
maintained and managed by the Windows operating system, not APIcom.
Each modem represents one type of modem that can be used to connect to a site. This is the modem
attached to the computer running APIcom, not the modem at the remote site.
Usually, the standard Hayes-compatible modem will work. But if the modem requires special settings, a
new modem type can be defined and select it in the site connection dialog.
Figure 2-15: Modem List Dialog
The modem properties are shared by all sites using that modem type, so only one modem configuration
has to be created for each type of modem. APIcom maintains separate properties for each modem type.
To modify the properties for a modem, select the modem in the list with the mouse and click on
, which will display the dialog box shown in the following figure.
