COM_RING()
Queries the ring line
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
COM_RING(<nComPort>) --> lActiveRing
Argument
<nComPort> Designates the port (1 to 4) on which the ring line is
tested.
Returns
A return of .T. indicates that the ring line is active (MSR bit-7 = 1).
A return of .F. indicates that the ring line is inactive (MSR bit-7 =
0).
Description
COM_RING() lets you check the ring line of a port from within a program.
Note
. When TERI (Trailing edge ring) is required, use the COM_MSR()
function.
Example
Modems generally show the ring signal of an incoming call. This does
not mean that a trouble free connection has been established.
DO WHILE .NOT. COM_RING(1) // Wait for call (RING)
* ...
ENDDO
? "Call detected..."
