Loss of Power at the Polling Controller
In the event of a power failure, the Polling Controller automatically connects
the incoming telephone line to the modem; it is otherwise inoperative.
Programmable Options
Automatic Generation of Transfer Code by the Polling Controller
When the Polling Controller “automatic generation of transfer code” option is
enabled, the Polling Controller will send a transfer code if, after receiving at
least seven DTMF digits from the polling modem, it does not receive a routing
code within one second of the last DTMF digit. In other words, no routing
code has to be added to the dial string if data calls are to be routed to the same
LSS port. Please note that the automatic generation can be overridden by a routing
code in the dial string.
Transfer Code for Ports
The Polling Controller receives a routing code from the calling device, usually
a modem. When it receives the routing code, the Polling Controller translates it
into a transfer code. The transfer code is sent to the LSS, indicating the port to
which a call should be sent. Calls can also be manually routed to any of the
ports using a one- to four-digit transfer code.
Each code can be a maximum of four digits in length and can contain any of
the 12 DTMF digits. Remember that each transfer code must have the same
number of digits.
The factory default transfer codes are proprietary and unpublished. If you
wish to change transfer code defaults, please see Table 3, in Chapter 4.
Transfer Code for Remote Programming
Note:
If you have not changed the Transfer Code for Remote Programming,
use Routing Code #7 to access remote programming mode at the LSS.
This command assigns the remote programming transfer code for each LSS
working with the Polling Controller. When the LSS receives this transfer code,
it will enter remote programming mode. (When using remote programming,
the corresponding code must be programmed in the LSS. For further
information, please refer to the LSS or SLSS Reference Manual.)
Each code can be a maximum of four digits in length and can contain any of
the 12 DTMF digits. Remember that all transfer codes must be the same length
(i.e., contain the same number of digits) and each code must be unique.
Restore to Factory Defaults
System defaults will be restored to those in the “Factory Defaults” column of
Table 2.
