How to set up an external modem
Hardware setup
Note: The Topaz Software ONLY supports the (USR) US Robotics 33.6 faxmodem or the 56K V.90 faxmodem, Sportster
modem models 0701 or 0459.
Note: You do NOT need to install the modem or drivers in Windows.
When you power up the external modem LEDs AA, TR, and CS should be illuminated, all others
should be off.
Software setup
After installing the modem make sure dial-up panels are configured in the Topaz server software as
SCP Dial-Up, set to 9600 baud, No parity and Active.
From Control and Service Functions, you must setup the modem. Choose Initialize - Test Modem
and Serial Port and say Go. The modem LEDs SD and RD should blink several times. This sends
the correct AT commands necessary for the modem to work correctly.
Note: We recommend that you use a minimum of two dial-up ports/modems for data and alarms. As the system grows or
as the alarm load increases, it may be necessary to use more Server modems to handle the traffic.
The Topaz systems administrator also needs to know the ACURT2 or ACURT4 Controller’s Serial
Number.
For additional information on dial-up communication, see Dial-up Modem (Optional) in the Topaz
Hardware Installation User Guide.
The switches on the back of the modem must be configured with
switches 5 and 6 set to the UP position, all others should be in the
down position as shown to the right.
