10.6.1. Line Monitor
The Line Monitor feature monitors the PSTN telephone line. If a problem is detected with the line, a Media Loss event
is registered in the log.

10.6.2. Periodic Test Interval
The Periodic Test is a test transmission the system sends to notify the central station that its reporting capability is fully
functional.
Two options are available for the Periodic Test:
• You can program the system to send a Periodic Test message according to a chosen time interval. This time
interval can be between 1 and 254 hours (approximately 10 days).
• The system calculates automatically the time the Periodic Test is sent according to the last four digits of the
account number. Automatically calculated tests can be sent daily, weekly or monthly according to the
Auto Interval option – see p. 60,
10.6.4 Auto Interval. This feature is designed to avoid overflow of test
reports to the central station at any given time.
The Periodic Test event message is an unclassified event. This means that it does not belong
to any event group. If the Periodic Test Interval is programmed with any value other than
000, the event message will be sent.
To program the Periodic Test Interval:
1.
From the Programming menu, select Communications, Comm. Options, Test Interval [95402].
2. Enter the test interval (001-254 hours) or 255 for an automatically calculated test interval, then press ' √ʹ.
To disable the Periodic Test:
• Program the Periodic Test Interval as 000.
10.6.3. First Test
If the Periodic Test Interval is programmed as 001-254 hours, you must also program the time that the first Periodic Test
is sent.
To program the First Test Time:

From the Programming menu, select Communications, Comm. Options, First Test [95403].
2. Enter a time (HH:MM), then press ' √ʹ.
10.6.4. Auto Interval
The Auto Interval option determines the frequency of automatically calculated periodic test messages.
To program the Auto Interval:
1.
From the Programming menu, select Communications, Comm. Options, Auto Interval [95404].
2. Select Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
10.6.5. Call Timeout
The Call Timeout is the amount of time the system waits for the first acknowledgement (ACK1) from the central station
when reporting using the PSTN. If ACK1 is not received during this time, the system regards the call as a failed dialing
attempt.
To program the Call Timeout:
1.
From the Programming menu, select Communications, Comm. Options, Call Timeout [95405].
2. Enter a time (001-255 seconds), then press ' √ʹ.
10.6.6. ACK. Timeout
The ACK Timeout is the amount of time the system waits for the second acknowledgement (ACK2) from the central
station when reporting using the PSTN. If ACK2 is not received during this time, the system regards the call as a failed
dialing attempt.
