WTI TSM Series - The no Dialtone Alarm

7-25
Alarm Configuration
7.9. The No Dialtone Alarm
The No Dialtone Alarm enables the TSM/RSM to monitor a telephone line connected to
an external modem installed at the TSM/RSM Setup Port, and then provide notification if
the TSM/RSM detects that the phone line is dead or no dialtone is present.
If the No Dialtone Alarm is enabled and the TSM/RSM determines that there is no
dialtone signal, the No Dialtone Alarm can provide notification via email using a network
connection. In the event that the TSM/RSM unit is not connected to a network cable,
the TSM/RSM will also create an entry in the Alarm Log, indicating that the No Dialtone
Alarm has been triggered.
