Advanced Answering Modes
------------------------
DW Host normally is set up to answer a call on the first ring. But
where there is need for the host computer to share a phone line and
not intrude on voice calls, special answering modes may be configured.
"Long Ring" may be configured such that DW Host answers only after the
specified number of rings have been received. Alternatively, "Ring
Back" may be chosen. This mode requires a caller to dial twice before
DW Host answers. The first call consists of a specified number of
rings (or DW Host can be configured for a non-specific number of rings
on the first call). DW Host answers a second call if received within
one minute of the first that lasted the proscribed number of rings.
Still another answering mode, Triggered Callback, may be specified
where DW Host never answers but, instead, places a call to the number
with which it had been configured. Almost a combination of callback
and Ring Back, Triggered Callback is set up by two calls much the same
as Ring Back. The first call must be of a specified number of rings
(or a non-specific number) and a second call must be received within
one minute of the first. If so "triggered", DW Host goes offhook and
dials out. Upon connecting to the called computer, a password is
required before the called party is allowed access. Just as in the
callback process described earlier, 3 attempts at a successful connect
are made.
