Select the COM-port and Baud Rate. In the INIT command and in the
DIAL command you can insert any string that the software should send
to the modem during initialization and dialing. Start by putting ATZ in
the init command and ATDT in the dial command. If more than one
command is needed for initialization just put <cr> (4 letters) in as
separator, for example:
AT<cr>ATZ<cr>ATM0<cr>
Please consult your modem manual for details on the command param-
eters.
Setting up the Telephone Numbers for Dial-up Sites
Evaluator has a built-in database for keeping phone numbers for remote
sound level meters, that will be contacted by the modem connection.
This database can contain any number of sites.
To define new Dial-up Sites, Choose Options… on the Tools menu. Next
select the Dial-up Sites tab. Then click on the New Site… button. Enter
the name of the new site — any characters except \ are allowed in the
site name.
Then enter the telephone number. The Dial prefix box can be used to
add extra dialing parameters, for example, to get a line outside a local
phone system. If your system requires that you dial, for example, a 0
to get an outside line, then put 0 in the dial prefix box, otherwise leave
this box blank.
Continue this process until all sites have been defined in the database.
Dialling a Remote Site
When your field system has been set up and your home-base modem
has been connected to your PC, you can start downloading measure-
ment data from the field.
This is done the same way that you would capture data from a SLM in
direct connection with a PC, except that you put a ✓ in the box called
Connect via modem (Dial-up). When the ✓ is set in the box, the screen
will change and you will be asked to choose which remote site to dial.
