PARAMETER 42:
Line Fault
Detector
SLOT 1 LINE DETECT ON M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS
Background:
Built into the CP-220A is the ability to detect faults that may have a bearing
on its operation. In
Section 1,
and earlier in this section, faults in the
following areas were discussed:
• Line Cards
• the Standby Battery
• the Printer
• Telephone Service
It is
PARAMETER 42
that allows the CP-220A to detect phone line faults. If
telephone service is interrupted for more than 5 seconds, a [LINE FAULT #]
message will be displayed on the CP-220A and on any peripheral(s) (i.e.,
printer and/or automation system) connected to it.
Even when cleared by pressing
NEXT
, the [LINE FAULT #] message
(accompanied by an alert beep) will continue to be displayed every 15
minutes until it is corrected. Once corrected, a [LINE FAULT RESTORE]
message will be displayed.
Each slot containing a Line Card to which a telephone line is connected
should have this parameter set to
ON.
Each slot containing a Line Card
without
a telephone line connected to it must have this parameter set to
OFF,
otherwise the [LINE FAULT #] will occur.
Programming Procedures:
As stated, [SLOT 1 LINE DETECT ON] will be displayed after entering
PARAMETER 42.
The number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing.
If it is necessary to change Slot 1's
Line Fault Detection
, take the following
steps:
1. Depress
the key once. The [ON] after [LINE DETECT] will begin to
flash.
2. Press
the
NEXT
key or the
MANUAL/PREVIOUS
key until the desired
choice is reached; after doing so,
Slot 1
will be set with the new Line
Detection capability.
3. Press
the key so that the [1] after [SLOT] flashes again.
4. To modify the
Line Detection
capabilities of another slot, press the
number key of the slot desired (e.g.,
2
); the chosen
Slot Number
and its
currently assigned
Line Detection
capability will be displayed.
5. Repeat the above steps for each
Slot Number
whose
Line Detection
capability you desire to change.
