Parameters

phoneNumber

The phone number to dial. The string can contain any valid modem dialing characters, such as commas (to allow dialing to pause for two seconds per comma) and hyphens and parentheses (used as separators for better readability). The string should not include any AT commands or dialing prefix commands.

description

Description to be displayed in the Dialing In Progress dialog box. If this option is omitted, only the phone number appears in the dialog box.

initString

String to be sent to the modem before dialing. If omitted, InfoConnect uses the default initialization string.

answerTimeout

Specifies the amount of time to wait for the host to confirm the connection. The string is specified in HH:MM:SS.hh format. A time string of "0" causes InfoConnect to wait indefinitely. If this is empty (""), the default timeout (60 seconds) is used.

retryTimes

Specifies the number of times to redial if the number is busy or does not answer. Default value should be one retry.

retryInterval

Specifies the amount of time to wait before redialing. The string is specified in HH:MM:SS.hh format. If this argument is empty (""), the default timeout is used (120 seconds).

speakerOption

Specifies the speaker mode. The default is Dialing.

speakerVolume

Specifies the speaker volume. The default is Medium.

speakerOffAfterRedial

If true, the modem speaker is turned off after the first dialing attempt. If false (the default) or omitted, the modem speaker remains set to the SpeakerMode for each dialing attempt.

ignoreModemErrors

If true, InfoConnect ignores modem initialization string errors. If false, these errors are displayed in a message box.
