Site Dialing
When connected to an external dial-up modem, I/O units
feature dial-out capability so that station personnel can be
notified when a critical alarm occurs. The I/O unit can dial-
out report alarms to a PC running Lynx or to a numeric
pager. If you have a Voice Interface in the system, use the
Site Dialing setup for the Voice instead of the I/O unit.
Note: The optional Voice Interface unit offers voice callout
functions and touch-tone site control. See Chapter 11. If you
are using the Voice Interface for dial-out and do not need the
I/O unit to dial, leave I/O site dialing disabled.
All networked units at the same site will share one I/O unit’s
dial-out connection(s). Therefore, you only need
to enable site dialing for the I/O unit that has the modem
connection.
P Ph ho on ne e N Nu um mb be err.. Enter up to five phone numbers (up to 48 characters) to call when an alarm is detected. For
pagers, include a comma in the dialing string for every two-second wait needed before the receiving pager can
accept DTMF tones. After the commas, enter the numeric string to be sent to the pager. Leave the number field
blank to disable site dialing.
M Mo od de e.. Specify in the Mode field whether the phone number entered is a data line (calling a computer) or a
pager number.
A Atttte em mp pttss.. Select the number of dialing attempts the unit should make before moving to the next entry in the
phone number list. There is a one-minute pause between attempts, and after it exhausts the specified number
of attempts, the modem will call the next number that meets the “Dial When” criteria (see below).
D Diia all W Wh he en n,, S Stta arrtt//E En nd d.. For each phone number entry, specify the days of the week and time-of-day the number
should be used. Every day instructs the I/O to include this number among its dialing attempts on any day of the
week between the Start and End times you specify. For example, you could specify a particular number to be
dialed seven days a week, but only between the hours of 9AM and 6PM. Weekdays means the number will be
dialed Monday through Friday between the Start and End times, and Weekends means the number will be dialed
on Saturday and Sunday between the Start and End times. Always tells the unit to include this number among its
dialing attempts at any hour of the day, any day of the week.
Metering
Use the Metering tab to set up channel names, limits, and
alarm settings for your site’s metering inputs. The main
Meters view allows you to modify the names, measurement
units and the input type for each of your metering channels:
N Na am me e.. Choose a name (up to 32 characters) for this
metering channel. The Voice Interface will speak this name
when it reports the value of the channel, and the name will
appear on the default view in Lynx.
