Alarm Dial

You can setup the computer to dial out to a remote computer if an alarm or fault
condition is encountered.

If the computer is connected directly to

Explorer you must connect a modem to

a free serial port in order to use this feature.

If you are controlling

Explorer from a remote location, you will need a second

modem connected to a free serial port on the computer. Ensure the modems
are connected and configured correctly.

To configure your system to dial out on an alarm condition:

1. Select

Alarm Dial

from the Communications menu.

2. Enter the telephone number to which the computer should dial if an alarm or

fault condition is encountered.

3. Select the port to which the modem is connected.

If

Explorer is connected directly to the computer this will be the modem port. If

you are controlling

Explorer from a remote location, this will be the second

modem port.

4. Check

Dial on Alarm

or

Dial on Fault

condition or both as required.

5. Click

OK

to close the dialog box.

If any of the conditions you selected occur, the computer will dial out to the preset
number. SiteChart will try to establish communication and send a message
indicating that an alarm or fault has occurred. Test the feature to ensure all
connections are correct and that all information has been entered correctly.
