martin Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I'm looking for way to detect a modem ring on a comm portI don't know how to detect the ring, but the way I think software normally deals with modems is to set the modem to auto answer mode, and then just detect some incomming data.

PsaltyDS Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 @AllModems are controll by AT commands.This will get you all started :Modem AT Commandsregards,ptrexI think y'all are missing the point. RI (Ring Indicator) is a specific pin on an RS-232 (COM) port. Pin 22 on a DB25 connector, or pin 9 on a DB9. The equipment tied to the port and signaling on that pin might not be a modem at all.DaleHohm wrote a UDF: Phone Dialer (using COM to modem on serial port)I haven't looked but perhaps peeking at Dale's code will show you how to read individual signal states using a COM object to access the COM port.

Pin 22 on a DB25 connector, or pin 9 on a DB9. The equipment tied to the port and signaling on that pin might not be a modem at all.That's a little harsh. I said that I don't know how to detect RI and I mentioned AutoAnswer which I don't think is missing the point. In fact saying I don't know how to detect RI imeans I don't know how to detect it using AutoIt and API calls.@ atwolf359: If there is no connection to RI then you really have to use AutoAnswer. If you have the RI connection, which I would expect with the correct lead to a modem, then my COMMS udf could be extended fairly easily to give the status of the ring indicator. PM me if that would be useful, but look at the UDF first to see if would would do what you want otherwise.

DaleHohm Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) I haven't looked closely at martin's UDF so my comments should not be taken to imply anything about its abilities. With the COM methods however, you can use an event-driven model to detect port state, activity and data (i.e. it does not require a polling loop) so it can be quite efficient. When you use the DLL from Hard and Software, there is no special license required.

If you can use an event to detect RI then that would be more efficient than what I was thinking of doing, and at the moment I don't intend to generate messages in my dll so it would require something like adlibenable with a function to keep checking the status.Can you give a link to the dll from Hard and Soft Dale?

Confuzzled Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Two issues here.1: You have to read the data coming from the COM port. There are a number of threads on these forums already devoted to this subject.2: After you have mastered that, you need to monitor what is coming from the COM port. A standard AT command driven modem will transmit ASCII characters "RING" out of the COM port when it detects a ring signal if configured correctly. You should not have to monitor the RS232 RI pin to do that.________________It's all software... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not have to monitor the RS232 RI pin to do that.I didn't know that a modem sent "RING", but then I don't have a modem. I assume this happens when the modem is not set to auto answer. Does it send RING for every ring that would normally be heard, or is it just one RING for every attempted connection?To see this you don't need to 'master' reading data on the COM port btw; that was the whole point of Dale's thread on Com, and which he referred to, and mine. You can use hyperterminal to manually control a modem and receive or transmit files.
