Omni 56K Plus Series User's Guide Setting S48.0=1 will cause the modem to report CND information in its ASCII coded hexadecimal raw data format. The DTE software is responsible for explaining the data. Please refer to the Bellcore Technical Advisory document TRNWT-000030 for the exact data format. The above Caller ID scheme applies to the North America area. Different countries may employ different Caller ID schemes, check if the scheme used in your country is supported before using the Caller ID feature. For most other Caller ID schemes, only the Caller telephone number is provided. 2.5.10 Distinctive Ring Distinctive Ring is a phone service that may be offered by your phone company. Check your phone company for availability. With this service, you can have several phone numbers assigned to the same phone line. The phone company will send a different type of ring signal for each phone number being called. The subscriber can distinguish which number is called by which type of ring is received. One benefit of this feature is the ability to have three numbers on the same line allowing you to list the three numbers for voice, data, and fax, respectively. You can then have your fax machine answer only the ring corresponding to the fax number and have your modem answer only the ring corresponding to the data number. A voice call will not be answered by either fax machine or data modem and it will only be answered when someone picks up the phone. You can also have the answering machine answer only the voice ring. A more complicated use is that you can have one number for multiple uses, such as one number for both data and fax. A ring signal is a composition of repeated on and off states. Different types of rings usually correspond to different compositions of the "on" part (cadence) of the ring. Your modem can distinguish up to four types of ring signals and can be commanded to answer or not answer any one of these four types of ring signals. Following is a list of these four types of ring signals. These are the ring types used in the USA. The difference among the ring types is the two-second ON part of the ring signal. It comprises a long, double short, or triple short ring. S-register S40 bits 3-6 are used for distinctive ring control. Each bit controls the answering of a particular ring type. Setting a bit to "1" enables answering, setting it to "0" rejects the ring. Note that the ring may still be heard even if it is not counted as an accepted ring by the modem. The control relationships between bits 3-6 in register S40 and the different ring types are: Table 2-5 Different Ring Types in Register S40 TYPE 1 2 3 4 BIT (ON) 3 4 5 6 RING SEQUENCE 1.2s or 2s on; 4s off 0.8s on, 0.4s off, 0.8s on; 4s off 0.4s on, 0.2s off, 0.4s on, 0.2s off, 0.8s on; 4s off 0.3s on, 0.2s off, 1s on, 0.2s off, 0.3s on; 4s off 2.5.11 Security Function The Omni 56K Plus modem provides a security function, that (when enabled) prevents an unauthorized user from making a connection.
