Version 1.0 for modem dialout
An Asentria Alarm can also be sent over dial-up modem when the Asentria Alarm Version is set to 1.0. Details
of this alarm follow:
When an Asentria Alarm is initiated, the box dials into the callout number specified by the action. Once
connected, it sends a header and waits for a specific response. If the S571 receives a specific response to
the header, it delivers alarms in CRC mode; otherwise, alarms are delivered in non-CRC mode. In CRC
mode, each Asentria Alarm is transmitted with some extra control characters and a CRC, and the remote host
is required to acknowledge each alarm in a certain format.
After all Asentria Alarms have been delivered, the box waits for 20 seconds for any type of keystroke. If a
keystroke is detected, the box will present a login menu.
Initial header
Note:
Please see the Control Characters appendix for more information about special characters used
within this section.
Upon dialing into the receiver, the S571 will send a message similar to the following:
SiteBoss 571
Server Room B
Asentria Alarm Notice ver. 1.00
(CR/LF)(ENQ)
The first line of the output is the S571's answer string.
The second line is the S571's unit ID.
The third line indicates the version of Asentria Alarm.
The final line is the (ENQ) control code.
Non-CRC Mode
After sending the initial header, the S571 pauses for 10 seconds to wait for an ACK from the receiver. Non-
CRC mode requires the Require Asentria Alarm ACKs setting to be turned off. If the S571 sees no response
or the receiver replies with:
(ACK)00(ACK)
then non-CRC mode is assumed and the sender will transmit the alarms. The control characters (SOH),
(SOT), and (ETX) are not transmitted in non-CRC mode.
CRC Mode
CRC mode exists to ensure that event notifications are delivered intact. Asentria Alarms delivered in CRC
mode have extra control characters and a 16-bit CRC included in each alarm to allow for error detection by the
