20 Voice announcer functionality overview
The voice announcer for measured values and alarm messages through a dial-up
connection can be used in three different ways:
Through a voice-enabled analog modem (recommended model: devolo
MicroLink™ 56k i); connected to the COM 1 serial interface port or
Through a voice-enabled ISDN terminal adapter (recommended model:
Stollmann TA+ODD); connected to the COM 1 serial interface port or
Through the OTT netDL built-in GSM modem (version code "C…").
The recommended external communication devices (modem/terminal adapter)are
available from OTT as accessories. They meet all necessary requirements and
have been thoroughly tested in conjunction with the OTT netDL unit.
Furthermore, the OTT netDL must be enabled for using the voice announcer fea-
ture in factory. For this, two options are available:
OTT provides an OTT netDL unit that is configured for the voice announcer. In
such a case, you will get a questionnaire after placing the order which is used
to gather all relevant announcer texts. Then these announcer texts are generat-
ed in factory and programmed into the OTT netDL unit. No further adjustments
are required to be made in this case. The voice announcer feature will be
available immediately after applying the supply voltage.
OTT provides standard voice modules for individually compiling announcer
texts in the operating program. Then you must program these texts into the
OTT netDL unit.
When an external analog modem is used, measured values may also be
announced on site.
For detailed information on the voice announcer feature, please refer to online
help in the operating program.
Note
Technical prerequisite for acknowledging a successfully transferred alarm mes-
sage: The alarm message must have been sent through an analog modem or
ISDN terminal adapter. (For acknowledging, you must press 1 to 3 specified
keys on the called telephone.)
