Setting Communications in MML Mode
With Modem Dial-Out Enabled
Figure J-4 depicts the Set report Options ( SO ) command sequence screen, resulting in communications
in Machine Machine Language (MML) mode with alarm reporting modem dial-out enabled. MML is the
language used by Coastcom’s Network Communications Controller (NCC) software product. If still
connected to a terminal when entering this option, extra characters will appear on the terminal screen.
Selecting option C under Communication Configuration sets the communications mode. Then, selecting
option M specifies that communications will be controlled by MML versus a terminal. The next option to
appear is the Alarm Reporting Mode.
The choices for alarm reporting mode include E) Enable Modem Dial-out , or D) Disable Modem Dial-
out . Option E enables modem dial-out, causing an alarm condition to interrupt, and report to, the
Common Control Unit (CCU) control screens.
Once all selections are made, Current Mode displays again, reflecting the selection. Note that the
modem requires configuration. This is accomplished by returning to the SO command menu and
selecting D) Display Modem/Port expander configuration (see later instructions for detail).
Feature Group 6.0/6.2 Screen Changes
The 6.0/6.2 Feature Group COMM Mode selections were labeled
1) Terminal and 2) MML . Options, however, were the same as found in current Feature Group.
The 6.0/6.2 Feature Group Alarm Reporting Mode selections in MML mode were labeled E)
Modem Dial-out Enabled , and D) Modem Dial-out Disabled , with a warning that read [MML NO
ALERT].
