Configuring the Modem
To configure the modem, access the SO screen, and select M) Change Modem Configuration
from the options screen.
Next, select the number of desired interval minutes between call attempts to the control site. This
option is allows the control site modem to be busy communicating with another part of the
network, and still be alerted promptly to an alarm event. The number of minutes may be any
number between 3 and 127
After establishing the interval between call attempts, the next selection to be made is the number
of seconds to elapse prior to hanging up the modem after the last message is sent. This time
period is called the “time out”. The number of seconds selected may be any number between 3
and 127.
The next selection in modem configuration is to inform the system of modem status (“do you have
a modem”). Respond either Y (Yes) or N (No), as appropriate. At the next, prompt enter the
modem phone number.
The next four entries call for the Attention String, the Dial String, the Modem Hang-up String, and
the Modem Initiation String. In each case, the default string command appears in the prompt
brackets. Coastcom recommends use of these default commands.
Figure J-9 on the following page depicts the modem configuration sequence as described here.
