MicroWIN 2000 Manual
Version 1.0
There is a set of buttons on the upper right hand side that are used to connect/disconnect an entry
with its dialer.
Depending on the method of connecting to the dialer, click the appropriate button.
If the method of connecting is by modem, click on the Modem button. This will schedule the
current entry to make a callout to the next available COM Port setup as an outgoing Modem.
If the dialer is connected directly to the computer COM Port, click on the Local button. This will
bring up a dialog box that will ask for which COM Port to use. This dialog box will show which
COM Ports are currently setup and which are in use. Choose the COM Port that has previously
been setup to be Local by clicking on the small box to the right of the desired COM Port.
After choosing the connection type, communications will commence. If all has been properly
setup, the picture in the upper right hand corner will read CONNECTED and after a little
handshaking, the dialer’s realtime status information will start being displayed and will update
every 1 to 3 seconds.
If a problem occurs while connecting or a dialer alarm condition is present once connected, an
alarm signal may be sounded. To silence this alarm, click on the Silence button above Alarm
Condition picture.
For more information about specific alarm conditions that may occur while connected, read the
section Entry’s Current Alarm Condition, Page 50.
