Function
It is possible to establish a phone connection to the system using a modem. This application is intended for sta-
tionary use, where a steady remote control is required.
It is also interesting to trigger a call in case of an alarm with this application. The Phoenix modem provides a dis-
crete input for this, which can trigger e.g. a call or a fax message.
Different actions can be performed 'online' using the ToolKit application software, which is delivered on the CD-
ROM with the control. These actions include:
•
Configuration
•
Visualization
•
Transfer settings to and from the hard drive
Preconditions for this Example
•
easYgen-2000
•
DPC (Direct Configuration Cable)
•
Straight
serial cable for connecting the DPC with the modem
•
Phoenix PSI data/fax modem/RS232 (www.phoenixcontact.com)
•
PC or notebook with Windows XP, or Vista with modem (we recommend to use the Windows standard
driver for older modems (e.g. ELSA Microlink 56k) if the dedicated driver does not work)
•
Application software ToolKit version 3.1 or higher
•
Configuration files available (*.sid, *.wtool)
•
FAX/SMS receiver for receiving alarm messages
NOTE
The Phoenix PSI-Data/Fax-Modem/RS232 has one discrete input, which can be used to send an alarm
message. One relay of the easYgen is required for the alarm message. It is also possible to use the
switch output of the modem to operate a discrete input of the easYgen, for example for a remote start.
NOTE
The easYgen does not send AT commands to the connected modem. The dispatch of an alarm mes-
sage is performed by the modem after energizing a discrete input.
If a different modem is used, this has to accept incoming calls automatically and establish a connec-
tion between calling PC and easYgen.
