AUTODIAL
The auto-dial time interval in
minutes. If this parameter is set to 0 then the
unit will NOT automatically initiate a call and will
call only when a DI or AI status changes (see
below). If this parameter is set to a value
greater than 0 then the unit will place a call
automatically in this time interval.
Allowable values
:
0 = no auto-dial
1-65535 auto-dial interval (min.)
REDIAL
Number of times the unit will attempt a
re-dial if the previous dial failed to establish a
connection (because of busy signal, reorder
signal, etc.). If the unit does not establish a
connection after the set number of redials it
suspends the re-dial procedure for the specified
Redial Interval minutes. New events that will
require a call to be placed will re-initiate the
dialing procedure.
Allowable values
:
0 = re-dial until successful
1 thru 9 number of re-dials
REDIAL PAUSE
Time interval, in seconds, the
unit waits between re-dials. To prevent ongoing
contention between units it is recommended
that every unit in a system be assigned a
different PAUSE interval. That way if two units
happen to call at the same time, they wait
different intervals before re-dialing.
Allowable values
:
10-255 = re-dial interval in seconds
(note the 10 second minimum)
REDIAL INTERVAL
Time interval, in minutes,
the unit waits between each redial cycle. The
unit will continue to execute redial cycles until a
connection is established.
Allowable values
:
0-65535 = re-dial interval in minutes
RINGS
The number of rings before the unit
answers an incoming call.
Allowable values
:
0 = never answer a call
1 thru 9 = rings before answer
REDIAL FAIL
Number of redials executed
before the fail contact is activated.
Allowable values
:
0 = continuous
1 thru 9 = attempts before fail signal
