is disabled, alerts will occur at the
terminal connected to the master’s Craft Port, but no
dialout will occur on the master’s Supervisory Port.
Note 2:
For modem dialout to operate properly, the
master Access-T must have a legal dialstring defined,
and the Start and Stop times must be different.
Note 3:
The master’s node address need not be enabled
for polling.
