Users name the dialing directory file with any valid file name and place it in any directory where read and write access is owned. The connect and directory subcommands of ATE access the dialing directory file. Use the connect command to use numbers that are not in the dialing directory file. Use the directory subcommand to view the dialing directory.
Users can have more than one dialing directory.
To change the dialing directory file the ATE program uses, modify the ate.def file in the current directory. ATE ignores subsequent lines. The dialing directory file is similar to a page in a telephone book. This file contains entries for the remote systems called with the ATE program. The fields must be separated by at least one space.
