No Answer RE BOOT Method; minimum rings required to effect a reboot = 1
2-hour Off-Hook (busy) RE BOOT - Enabled
Popular RE BOOT configuration for BBS (bulletin board server), dial-up email or access servers, or high-traffic
automated systems. Any incoming call that is not answered will initiate a reboot. Modem lock-ups that cause a busied-
out line will be cleared automatically after 2 hours.
1 Calls placed to the phone number of the line attached to the Power On/Off +Aux are answered on the first ring by the
Host system or device and logon is successful. A RE BOOT will not occur unless the caller remains on-line for over
two hours.
2 A user places a call to retrieve new messages from a designated dial-up E-mail server, but the call is never answered;
an error condition has occurred and the E-mail system is no longer responding. The line continues to ring until the
user's modem times out. Once the incoming RINGs cease, the E-mail server is powered-OFF, a 30 second settle time
passes, then the server is powered-ON -- A full coldboot! The same user tries again a couple of minutes later, the
call is answered, and new mail is retrieved.
3 A user places a call to his favorite BBS, but always receives a telephone company BUSY signal -- an error condition
has occurred and the BBS modem is stuck off-hook, causing the line to remain busy. Unaware to the caller, the line
has been busied-out for 1 hour 45 minutes and will
RE BOOT automatically in another 15 minutes (2 hour Off-Hook
RE BOOT). The same caller tries again, one half hour later, and logon is successful.
