INACTIVITY TIMEOUT

.

14.

Enter the Inactivity Timeout value. (The Inactivity Timeout is the
length of time, in minutes, that Access-T waits before hanging up an
inactive line. Inactivity is defined as no characters received by the
Access-T.) Acceptable timeout values range from 1 to 255 minutes;
an entry of 0 (zero) disables the Inactivity Timeout function. Termi-
nate the entry by pressing the

Enter

key. Press the

Esc

key twice.

Note:

To minimize the time that the phone line is in

use, an Inactivity Timeout of 1 minute is recom-
mended when

UNSOLICITED=ON

.

CAUTION: If an Inactivity Timeout of 0 is speci-
fied, the dialed connection will remain in effect
until the dialed device (or modem) disconnects.

DIALPORT BACKOFF

.

16.

Enter the Dialport Backoff value. (This value is the time that Access-T
will wait, after Access-T disconnects from inactivity, before dialing to
report an already-reported alarm which has not been cleared. Accept-
able values range from 15 to 240 minutes.) Terminate the entry by
pressing the

Enter

key.
