System Status
The Series 1000 allows for easy checking of system status and capability. Spoken or
faxed status reports of your entire dialer-monitored system can easily be generated. The
following paragraphs describe the commands necessary to generate such reports and test
the dial-out capabilities of the Series 1000.
A spoken system status report can be received from the dialer by entering the following
command from a touch-tone telephone either locally, or remotely after answering or
calling the dialer: The dialer will speak a voice message of system name, software
version, system errors if present, current alarms, counter values and run time
accumulators of individual I/O modules. The data spoken for each I/O channel will
depend upon the user-configured status report format.
This is an overview of the commands that are shown in this section.
