The modem continuously monitors the telephone line to detect an incoming call.
When an incoming call is detected, the modem will wait a user-set number of rings
and answer the call.
2.4.2: Dial-In Function
The modem can be programmed to check for a password on an incoming call. If the
correct password is not provided, the modem hangs up on the incoming call. If
several unsuccessful incoming call attempts are received in a set time period, the
modem locks out future incoming calls for a user-set number of hours.
When an incoming call is successfully connected, the control of communication is
passed to the calling software program. The modem responds to computer
commands to download data or other actions authorized by the meter passwords.
Refer to the Communicator EXT
TM
4.0 and MeterManager EXT Software User Manual
for instructions on programming the modem.
2.4.3: Dial-Out Function
The Dial-Out Function (INP2) is intended to allow the meter to automatically report
certain conditions without user intervention. The modem polls the meter to determine
if any abnormal or reportable conditions exist. The modem checks programmed meter
conditions and programmed events (set in Communicator EXT
TM
software) to deter-
mine if a call should be placed.
If any of the monitored events exist, the modem automatically initiates a call to a
specified location to make a report or perform some other function. For log full
conditions, the meter automatically downloads the log(s) that are nearing the full
condition.
2.5: Total Web Solutions
The 10/100BaseT Ethernet Option (INP200) is a fully customizable web server that
uses XML to provide access to real time data via Internet Explorer. EIG’s name for this
dynamic system is Total Web Solutions. The system incorporates a highly programma-
ble network card with built-in memory that is installed in the 100BaseT Option
meters. Each card can be programmed to perform an extensive array of monitoring
functions. The INP200 system is much faster than the 10BaseT Ethernet Option.
NOTE: Nexus® meters with the INP10 Option do not support Total Web Solutions.
