Monitoring
standard RJ11 phone plug and a working telephone line. Remote
off-site monitoring of Omniguard 4 is supported along with remote
job log transfers.
Caution: Transferring Job Logs to the PC via
modem may take up to 10 minutes (depending on
modem speed and the size of the Job Logs being
transferred). The Omniguard 4 is not actively
monitoring pressure during the log transfer. Once
the transfer is complete, the unit resumes monitoring
the pressure.
Note: The External Serial Modem is no longer sold by Engineering
Solutions. Almost any serial modem should work with the Omniguard
4 (a USB modem will not work). Modems with a speed of 14.4kbps or
faster are recommended. We have had problems with the Motorola
modems and can not recommend them for this application. The Practical
Peripherals modems seem to work quite well and can be had for as
little as $2 on eBay.
The external modem setup should be tested and its proper operation
confirmed before leaving the job site. Before performing the modem
test, use the Telephone Modem menu item to configure the
Omniguard 4 to work with the external modem you are using.
To congure and test the Telephone Modem setup --
1. Plug the modem cable into the SERIAL port on the USB Port
Adapter and modem.
2. Connect the USB Port Adapter to the Omniguard 4 USB port using
the USB cable (included with your Omniguard 4).
3. Plug the phone cable into the modem and a working telephone
line RJ11 phone jack. Turn the modem on.
4. Press MENU to view the Main Menu.
5. Highlight TELEPHONE MODEM using ▲/▼ and press SELECT
to view or change the settings.
6. Press ▲/▼ to change the Init Command setting if necessary.
7. Press3/4 to move to TEST MODEM. Press SELECT to test
the modem settings. The Omniguard 4 will check the response
of the modem to the Init Command (set in step 6) and its status
will be displayed on the screen. If an error message appears, a
suggested solution will also be made.
8. Press SAVE to save the updated settings and return to the Main
Menu.
Pressing the EXIT key will return you to the Main Menu without saving
the updated settings.
To confirm that the modem is working, use a PC equipped with a
modem and the Omniguard Communication software to connect
to the Omniguard 4. See the Help available in the Omniguard
Communication software for more information.
