COA Connection (S UPV ). This field controls the remote alarm reporting. ASCII
alarm reporting through the supervisory port is independent of Trap alarm
reporting on the SLIP port. The ASCII alarm report type is set by the following
choices:
DISABLED - Alarm reporting is disabled.
DIRECT - Sends reports to a printer or terminal connected directly to the SUPV
port.
DIAL - Sends reports through an attached AT command set compatible modem
connected to the SUPV serial port, which must dial out to a remote modem. The
message format is described in the ELEMENT ID field.
Primary Dial String. This field is an ASCII string for the primary call on alarm
phone number used in the DIAL mode. The string must include the ATDT
command prefix (ex. ATDT555-1212). The unit attempts three times to connect
using the primary number. If all three attempts fail, it will attempt three times to
connect using the secondary number (if it is not blank). If the secondary number
fails, the unit waits five minutes and then attempts to communicate with the
primary number again. If a connection is not detected, the unit outputs a
notification message and then disconnects.
Secondary Dial String. This field is an ASCII string for the secondary call on alarm
phone number used in the DIAL mode. The string must include the ATDT

primary number, it will attempt three times to connect using the secondary number
(if it is not blank). If the secondary number fails, the unit waits five minutes and
