Addendum to the MCS 500 Automatic Dialer Operation Manual, Rev. V.
Software Release 2.05
June 26, 1992
Additional Feature
USE OF THE # AND * KEYS AS TELEPHONE NUMBERS
Some Dialer applications involve paging systems which frequently use some of
the non-digit telephone tone keys. For programming telephone numbers which
must contain the # and * keys into directory positions use the following
procedures:
1.
To enter the # character into a telephone number use the magenta key
(pink).
2. To enter the * character into a telephone number use the cyan key (blue).
3. To enter a 2 second pause into the telephone numbers use the SP key
(also named RUN).
Additional Feature AUTOMATIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ALARMS
Some applications desire that the dialer place telephone calls, and automatically
enter the snooze period, as if a call had been acknowledged. A field has been
added to the telephone number directory programming which allows the user to
designate a telephone number as an Automatic Acknowledged telephone
number. This selection is made by toggling the acknowledge field between the
“Required” and “Automatic” choices. When the system encounters and dials a
number designated as Automatic Acknowledge, the number will be dialed and
the call will be completed. The system will then acknowledge all existing alarms,
and enter the snooze period for the programmed duration.
Clarification PARALLEL PRINTER OPTION
The figure on page 14 of the manual illustrates the position of the DB-25 Printer
Port. Although the figure uses the work “Serial” to identify the location of the DB-
25 Serial type port, the system requires the use of a parallel printer.
MICROTEL,INC recommends the use of Epson parallel printers with the use of
the MCS 500 Printer Option Card.
