Call Attempts (not available for voice report). If the system does not succeed in sending a report to any of the telephone

times the system attempts to dial this sequence by programming the Report Cycle option.

In the example illustrated in Figure 10-1, Account 1 is programmed with 2 call attempts, Account 2 is programmed with
3 call attempts and the number of report cycles programmed is 3.
