Setting Up Outgoing Call Properties
Outgoing calls handled by the communications controller are
configured using either RAS management or asynchronous
application management. Both of these methods are standard
Microsoft NT operations, and do not require customized
configuration.
RAS Management
The Windows NT Dial-Up Networking feature handles
outgoing calls using RAS. Dial-Up Networking is used for
declaring the list of all remote computers and determining the
port type to use (ISDN, digital modem, or COM ports). The
Dial-Up Networking icon is located in the My Computer
program group on your computer’s desktop.
You can use the Call Setup dialog box to set up initialization
modem strings for outgoing calls. This dialog box is described
in Setting Up Call Properties on page 101.
Asynchronous Application Management
Some outgoing calls are managed directly by asynchronous
legacy applications through COM ports. Applications such as
fax software, BBS access (Hyperterminal) software, and
remote applications control software are often set up to
manage their own outgoing calls.
