• Priority. The priority will be selected through a slider having three positions (high,
medium, low) that the customer may use to set the order in which calls should be
made. Basically, if some stations are more important than others, it will be
necessary to assign to this station a priority higher than the priority of other stations.
When the system starts making the calls, it will first call the higher priority stations,
then medium and so on... This choice in priorities also influences the order in
which the stations are displayed in the List (A).
•
umber of attempts. It is possible to set a number of atempts "retry" fro 1 to 99 + ¥
which represent the number of attempts that the program must make before the
station is considered as disconnected, therefore before comunication alarms are
released. If you choose ¥ the software will try to make the connection until he
succeeds to.
All the other call parameters, telephone number etc., are copied from the Telecon
database.
The stations are put in order in the list (A) for:
•
Presence on the map,
• priority
• frequency of calls,
•
identification number in the Telecon database
2) The two buttons: "Start Scheduling" and "Stop Scheduling" are used to start or to
interrupt the automatic procedure of calls. In this way if the user wants to call a
station manually (while the cycle is started), he will have to set the software on
"Stop Scheduling", then wait that the actual call is completed (if there is a call
being made) and therefore he will be able to make the call by selecting the proper
icon with the mouse on the cascade menu. It would be appropriate to insert a
password for the selection from automatic to manual mode so that only the
specialized technician has access to such operation. Anyway the software should
always start in Automatic mode.
3) In automatic mode the software starts from the first station of the List (A), and so
on until the last one (N.B. ONLY the stations that are present on the map are
called). Once the list is finished, and in function of the number of retries setted, the
system calls the stations that did not respond the first time. The software will go
on until a response from all the stations is obtained and until there are no retries
available.
In case the call cycle is completed before the change of call cycle, the program
remains in stand-by; the "Start Scheduling" button changes to "Call Stations".
In this way it is possible to have the program making an additional cycle of calls to
all the stations without taking into account the last call and without exiting the
scheduling cycle.
4) The following 4 symbols indicate the status of the stations:
