Parameter Description Comments
Connect Time Enter the number of seconds that the Model 3711 will wait, after
initiating a call, to receive a connect message from the remote
device.
• If the connection is successful, the Disconnect Time period
begins.
• If the connection is not successful, additional connection
attempts are made as configured in the RBX panel (see
Section 4.6).
The modem will initiate a call only
if RBX alarming is enabled (see
Section 4.6) or the port is used as
the sending port in passthrough
mode (see Section 4.7).
In a typical installation,
approximately 60 seconds are
required to make and complete a
dial-up connection.
Disconnect Time Enter the number of seconds that the Model 3711 will wait for
further activity on the line, before it hangs up the connection. This timer is reset after each valid
receive signal.
Inactivity Time Enter the number of seconds that the Model 3711 will wait,
without receiving a signal, before it resets the modem. The Valid Receive Counter is used
to determine if the signal has been
received.

card, the default value is required.

Command Enter the command required to contact the host. For the dial-up modem card, use a
