PES1900NR Operations Manual

Setting up the internal modem
If an external wireless interface (such as the Telular) is connected to the PES1900Gi repeater’s
dial-up port, then you must properly configure the repeater’s wireline modem. If you improperly set up
the modem, calls to the repeater will not be successful.
Use the following procedure to set up the modem for the PES1900Gi repeater.
1. Connect to the repeater through the local Craft port.
2. Start the RepeaterNet software.
3. Establish a connection to the repeater.
4. Select
Configuration
from the menu bar, located at the top of the screen.
5. From
the
Configuration
menu, select
Modem Properties
.
6. Click on the
Modem Properties
tab.
7. Enter
S37=6
in the
Setup String
field (the top field on the Modem tab).
8. Enter
a
Phone Number

9, 222 123-4567
NOTE:
Each comma creates a two-second delay in dialing. The RepeaterNet software ignores
parentheses () and spaces.
9. Enter the number of times that RepeaterNet should attempt to make the connection.
For example, enter:
3
NOTE:
Entering 0 (zero) in this field disables calling.
10. Click the

The OK button sets the modem properties, and closes the Modem Properties screen.
Important Points About Modem Setup
•
This procedure forces the repeater to initialize the modem to 2400 baud, which improves the
connection on analog wireless networks.
•
If you configure a repeater to automatically call out and report alarm status, the repeater
COM port settings
must match
the settings of the modem that the repeater calls.
•
If you use a modem to login to the repeater, the port settings of the computer’s modem
(defined in the configuration file)
must match
the settings of the repeater modem.
•
If the repeater is equipped with an internal modem, the repeater’s hardware automatically
controls the setup string. However, if the repeater is connected to an external modem, you
must consult the modem’s documentation for the setup string.
•
Changes to the default settings on the
Modem Properties
screen, take effect when you exit
the RepeaterNet software.
