For example, to set the Phone Fault Detection interval to 0.3 hour., enter:
916 0.3
Whenever a Phone Fault is first detected, a Local Data Logger (LDL) message
will be sent to the printer with date and time stamp. Additionally, the Phone
Fault LED, labeled TFAIL, will begin to blink.
If a Phone Fault is detected at the beginning of an outgoing phone call the
TFAIL LED will flash and the unit will return to the NORMAL state. Then,
while still in the NORMAL state, the unit will continually check the telephone
line every 30 seconds for restoration of the telephone service.
When telephone service is restored, a message will be sent to the Local Data
Logger’s printer and the TFAIL LED will go from flashing to solid ON. The
Verbatim autodialer will then resume making any pending phone calls. The
TFAIL LED will remain ON until a voice message about the Phone Fault is
communicated via the phone or to an operator at the front panel by pressing the
CHECK STATUS button. The TFAIL LED and pending voice annunciation of
the Phone Fault condition may also be cleared at the front panel by pressing the
DISARM/RE-ARM button twice.
No Phone Fault Detection will be performed if there are no phone numbers
programmed. If the unit needs to make an alarm call when there is a Phone
Fault the numbered channel LEDs will blink continuously even though the unit
is in the NORMAL state. This unusual condition will only be seen while there
is a Phone Fault and the unit is constantly testing for the return of telephone
service.
6.2.11 Automatic Tone/Pulse Selection
When Automatic Tone/Pulse Selection is ON the Verbatim autodialer will test
for the ability to use tone dialing. This test will be performed only once, one
minute after the unit is powered on or is reset. Automatic Tone/Pulse Selection
enables the installer to not be concerned about whether the telephone line
supports tone dialing.
Automatic Tone/Pulse Selection shares a user code with Phone Fault Detection.
The basic user command is code 917. Entering code 917 with no parameter will
cause a recitation of the current settings for Phone Fault and Automatic Tone/
Pulse Selection. The following parameters may be entered:
u
Turns OFF BOTH Phone Fault Detect and Auto. Tone/Pulse Select
9 1 7 0
u
Turns ON Phone Fault Detect, turns OFF Auto. Tone/Pulse Select
9 1 7 1
