Hi

thank you verymuch for your detaill mails, (see below)

So I take it you want to dial out with the modems on the PM-3,
and NOT ISDN.
Yes, Basically i will be dialing out to a analog modem... And it can be
done only if i configure the location for analog support. But the call
will be routing via ISDN.. (Correct me if iam wrong), See below also...

You don't want to use dial scripts with a PM-3. You're better
using the
username, password, and telephone number fields in the location.
Also,
how is authentication being handled here? I don't see any
username or
password - does the other end not challenfe?
The above location table eg which was for PM2 where in there was no
chap authentication. ( i was just showing an example for the AT
scripts).

But in our environment, we might required to use AT script. The eg.
which was shown just for the reference ... We need more flexibility in
terms of connectivity and after connectivity.

Another example which is available on our PM2,

PM2E> sh loc 341756
Location: 341756 Type: Manual
Destination: 172.20.102.17 Netmask: 255.255.255.255
Protocol: PPP Options: Quiet, Compression
Input Filter: prod.in Output Filter:
Group: 0 Max Ports: 1
Idle Timeout: 2 minutes High Mark: 0 bytes
Mtu: 1500 Async Map: 00000000

Dial Script: Send Command Wait for Reply
------------------------------
------------------------------
ATDT8w4014443448\r CONNECT
\r ogin:
Pinsite\r assword:
2getin\r ~

In this eg. it will dial in to the number (specified on AT scripts) and
connect to the destination. We can specify the login and passwd of the
destination machine (and not for chap) ... As you specified we might be
able to use the telephone numbers in the location table itslef in terms
of PM3 configuration... But there are other flexibilities can be
implemented on the scripts whcih is required in our existing setup
(which uses a tool to dialout)...

Now my question is : Will it work if i configure AT scripts on PM3
location table (PM3 use ISDN and digital modems to dial out) ....?

To use a modem on a PM-3 you need to so 'set loc locname analog
on' for that
location.

I believe these commands are what you need to recreate the
above:
yui> add loc test
Location test successfully added
yui> set loc test dest 172.24.95.1
test destination changed from 0.0.0.0 to 172.24.95.1
yui> set loc test netmask 255.255.255.255
test netmask changed from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
yui> set loc test comp on
test compression changed from vj to on
yui> set loc test ifilter prod.in
New input filter set for location test
yui> set loc test max 1
test maximum port count changed from 0 to 1
yui> set loc test idle 2 min
test idle timeout changed from 0 to 2 minutes
yui> set loc test phone 8,6028603640
New telephone successfully set for location test

That results in:
yui> sh loc test
Location: test Type: Manual
Destination: 172.24.95.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.255
Protocol: PPP Options: Quiet, Compression,
Multilink
Input Filter: prod.in Output Filter:
Group: 0 Max Ports: 1
Idle Timeout: 2 minutes High Mark: 0 bytes
Mtu: 1500 Async Map: 00000000
Username: Password:
Telephone: 8,6028603640

You could also do 'set loc test multi off' to turn of multilink,
but I
wouldn't bother - since you have max ports of 1 it will never
try another
anyway.

I think a comma in the phone number will cause a pause, which is
what I
guessed the 'w' did in your external modem.
