Connection To A Computer or A Printer
To print records, the system must be connected to either a printer or a computer. The device used
must have an RS232C port capable of receiving data at 9600 baud. The protocol is 8 bits, 1 stop
bit, and no parity.
An
IBM®
compatible PC can be connected to the IPS using a straight (not a null modem) cable.
You can use the following procedure to retrieve Call History records to your computer.
1. In
Windows®,
enter the Program Manager window, then the Accessories window. Select the
Terminal icon.
2.
Pull down the Settings menu
and select “Communications”. Verify that the communication
settings are as follows. Change settings to match if necessary.
Baud Rate:
9600
Data Bits:
8
Parity:
None
Stop Bits:
1
Flow Control: None
Connector:
Either COM1 or COM2, whichever corresponds to the RS232 port being used.
3.
Pull down the Transfer menu.
Select “Receive Text”
fi
le. Create a new text
fi
led named
“CALL.TXT”.
4. Once these steps are successfully completed, you are ready to receive call history data. Enter
the Call History output command on page 84. This writes the data to the text
fi
le. It then can
be printed out directly in the long format. Or you can import it in the short format into an
accounting or spreadsheet program.
