Current Polling Mode
At the top of the Polling Mode Information form, notice the picture for the current Polling
Mode. It will say that it is currently in Manual Polling Mode or Automatic Polling Mode.
Manual Polling Mode
When in Manual Polling Mode, all call outs will only be made by a user. No automatic call outs
will occur. The COM Ports that aren’t currently active are Closed. No incoming phone calls to
the system will be answered.
Automatic Polling Mode
When in Automatic Polling Mode, call outs can be made by either a user or automatically by
MicroWIN 2000. The COM Ports that are setup as Modem that aren’t currently active will be
Open. Incoming phone calls to the system will be answered only by those COM Ports setup as
an Incoming Modem.
While in Automatic Mode, timers for each entry will be counting down till the next enabled
Snapshot and/or Archive. When an entries timer expires, it will schedule this entry to callout and
reset the timer to start counting down from the preset time interval for this entry (for example,
callout every 60 Minutes and record a snapshot).
