Home | New | FAQ | Links | About | Email


For those of you lacking the Philips Velo 1 User's Guide, here is a table showing the various characters that are allowed in the Velo 1's modem strings.

Character Name Effect On Dial String
     
0-9 Dialable digits Enables phone and pulse dialing
E Country code Dials the local phone number specified by the program that is dialing (for example, Remote Networking)
F Area (city) code Dials the local phone number specified by the program that is dialing
G Local number Dials the local phone number specified by the program that is dialing
, Comma Inserts a pause (typically two seconds, but the exact length of the pause is modem dependent)
$ Dollar sign Waits for credit card tone (the wait time is set on the Call Options tab)
ABCD Dialable digits Tone only (used for special control on some systems)
*, # Dialable digits Tone only (used for special control on some systems)
T Tone dial Following digits are to be tone dialed
P Pulse dial Following digits are to be pulse dialed
! Hookflash Allows transfer to another extension (1/2 second on hook, 1/2 second off hook)
- Hyphen Ignored
  Space Ignored
@ At sign Waits for "quiet answer" (typically, a modem detects "quiet answer" after 6.5 seconds of silence following a ringing tone - this indicates that a call has gone through)
W Uppercase "w" Waits for second dial tone (typically, this is inserted after a $ to detect a dial tone after a credit card tone)


Please email me of ANY troubles you may have downloading software. I will do all that I can to fix any links that become broken. Or you can post a message on the PocketPCcity Philips Velo board where others and myself usually hang out.
