Chapter 21: PC ALARm DIALOUT
PC Alarm Dialout is a feature that allows your computer to make alarm calls (voice, fax, pager,
email ...) when your SCADA 3000 units do not have access to a telephone line. The feature is
intended to be used when you have several SCADA 3000 units connected via a radio network
or serial port. When an alarm occurs on one of the units, the PC will make the alarm calls and
receive the acknowledgement code.
