6.6.1 Configuring the PentiLine PRO
The line divider is connected to the main jack, the touchtone telephone plugs into line 1, and lines 2-
5 are used for the meters (assumed to be modems). This arrangement is just one of the many
configurations you can choose from.
You can use the touchtone telephone attached to the line divider to configure the unit on the basis of
codes, but to do this, you should always start by lifting the handset and dialing R##.
1. R## Starts programming mode
2. *93# Sets the line divider to switchboard mode
3. *11#1# Sets port 1 for telephone, for more than one, dial *11#13#
(which selects ports 1 and 3)
4. *13#234# Sets ports 2-4 for modems, for one port, dial *13#2#
(selects port 2)
5. *23#1# Sets the line divider to one ring before it connects the call to the telephone.
6. *21#1# Port 1 (telephone) obtains the dial tone as soon as the handset is raised.
If programming is successful, you will hear 5 short signals after each command, and if there has been
an error, you will just hear one long signal. When you have finished, replace the handset and the line
divider configuration is complete. For more commands, refer to the user manual for PentiLine PRO.
Note: When using line dividers, it is important that the telephone number - in PQ Online or in
PQ Secure - indicates which port the relevant meter occupies. If you use the wrong
serial number with the right port, there will be no communication between the
device/unit and the database.
For example, if the telephone number is 031-123 45 67 and the port number is 1, the
number should be 0311234567,01. The comma indicates a pause, and the port must
always be preceded with a zero (, 01).
If switchboards or other facilities in the telephone network make the connection slow
you must sometimes increase the pause (waiting time) to give the line divider time to
receive the port number. The calling modem must dial the number and a ring signal
must reach the line divider, which then answers (a faint “click” is heard). After this the
port selection digits must be dialed. Enter one or more commas before the port selection
digits until it works. Example 0311234567,,,01.
