To change CAM to make it answer on one ring, you must modify the
CONFIG.CAM file using a hex editor such as the one found in PC-
TOOLS, or use DEBUG.  Please make a backup copy of this file
before making any changes.

A portion of the CONFIG.CAM file is listed below, with the byte
to be changed underlined.  The display shows it set for 8 rings.
Change this byte to 01 for one ring.

Note:  Do NOT set the value to 00, as this will cause CAM to
never answer the phone!

Type debug at the C:\CAM subdirectory, followed by the filename
CONFIG.CAM as shown below.  You will see a dash (-) mark.  Type D
and hit return.  You should now see a hex map similar to the one
below.  This example is using DEBUG and the last column should be
disregarded.

Type Q at the dash (-) mark to quit.  Reboot your PC.  Now the
CAM will answer on one ring.

Note:  You must evaluate your system and needs carefully before
changing CAM to one ring.  The lower limit of two rings is set
purposely because random fluctuations in line voltage can cause a
false ring,  The minimal setting of two rings prevents CAM from
picking up the line in response to a false signal.
