Modem
–This instructs GMS 2000 to call a modem attached to a computer running Manager
2000 software. The sofhware must be in Answer Mode. When the Manager 2000
software receives the alarm call, it will download the unit's Event log, execute an alarm
query, and display the result on the screen. You may also have the computer print a copy
of the alarm event as well as play a recorded message when an alarm is received.
Important:
the unit Description on your computer must match the Unit Description stored
in your GMS 2000 for Alarm and Report call-in features to work properly.
Intercall Delay:
The intercall delay is the amount of time MGS 2000 will wait after completing a call before calling
the next destination . The delay is in seconds, with a default of 30.
Note
: A 30-second delay is too short to allow a call back if a pager is being called.
Increase the delay time enough to accommodate your pager.
Alarm Call Mode:
The three selections for destination Alarm Call Mode are Disabled, Until A Acknowledged, and
Inform.
Disabled:
Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode Disabled will never be called. This is
simply a way to disable dialing to this destination if necessary.
Until
Acknowledged:
Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode " Until Acknowledged"
will continue to be called until one of them acknowledges the alarm. Once acknowledged, the
remaining destinations will not be called.
NOTE:
Fax,E-mail and Modem destinations cannot be programmed as "Until
Acknowledged" call modes.
Inform:
Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode "Inform" will be called until the alarm
message has been successfully delivered one time, regardless of acknowledgment. If a
transmission to an " Inform" destination was successful, that destination will not be
contacted again. GMS 2000 will only make additional attempts to contact an Alarm Call
Mode " Inform" destination if that destination hasn't successfully received its transmission
(for example, due to a "no answer," busy signal," "no carrier" response). If a transmission
fails to reach a destination after the last calling round is completed, the failure is recorded
in Event Log. Calls to priority "Inform" destinations are useful for providing records of
alarm events.
Important:
Destinations programmed as Alarm Call Mode " Inform" cannot
acknowledge alarms.
