MICROTEL Series 1000EX Dialer
CHAPTER 3 - Operation
his chapter, divided into Configuration and Operation sections, will explain how
to configure the Series 1000EX dialer to react to I/O events and how an operator
can make the dialer respond to remote commands. The Microtel Series 1000EX
features a single level, interactive command structure--there are no multi-level
menu structures to navigate. Commands are sent to the Series 1000EX through your
telephone either locally or during a call to or from the dialer, by pressing a sequence of
touch-tones on your telephone. Each command entered is acknowledged with a spoken
response from the dialer, providing verification that the command was entered correctly
and understood by the dialer.
T
Commands are divided into System Commands and Channel Commands. The System
Commands begin with ‘0’. Channel Commands begin with ‘*’ (single star) or ‘**’ (two
starts). All programming commands (commands that modify dialer configuration or
cause an action to occur) include ‘**’ (two stars). All review (report) commands include
a ‘*’ (single star). All commands (except for the System Status Command . *000)
terminate with ‘*’ (single star). After each command is entered, the dialer will respond
with a voice message. Most commands require exactly the same number of keys every
time, but some commands have a variable data length. The end of variable length data
commands is performed with the ‘**’ (two stars).
NOTE: An unwanted command can be terminated at any time by pressing the ‘#’ key.
The dialer will respond, “System ready”, indicating it is ready to accept a new
command.
Throughout this manual, all commands are highlighted for quick reference as follows:
*nnn Review item
**nnnddd Configure item
If your telephone line is not yet installed, you can still configure your dialer:
1. With power to the dialer off, connect the telephone to dialer’s PHONE jack.
2. Take the telephone off-hook.
3. Turn ON power to the dialer.
4. The telephone should now be connected to the dialer (indicated by the PHONE LED
being ON and the Dialer reporting ‘SYSTEM READY’).
5. You may now enter any of the touch-tone commands to query/configure the dialer.
6. When you are finished, hang-up. The PHONE LED should turn OFF indicating that
you hung-up. To have it pick up again, redo this procedure.
