then attempts to communicate with the primary number again. If a connection is
not detected, the unit outputs a notification message and then disconnects.

Initialization String.

The modem initialization string is entered in this field. Refer

to the modem’s documentation for further information. The default setting is
ATEQ0V1.

Disconnection String.

This field identifies the character string to be output when

the modem session is terminated. The default setting is ATH0.

SLIP Port Rate.

This field sets the bit rate for the SLIP port. The choices are 1.2,

2.4, 9.6, and 19.2 kbps.

SLIP Connection.

This field controls remote alarm reporting. Trap reporting

through the SLIP port is independent of ASCII alarm reporting through the SUPV
port. The ASCII alarm report type is set by the following choices:

DISABLED - Trap reporting is disabled.

DIAL - Sends traps through modem to SLIP server.

DIRECT - Sends traps directly to the SLIP server.

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
command prefix (ex. ATDT555-1212). If the unit could not connect using the
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
then attempts to communicate with the primary number again. If a connection is
not detected, the unit outputs a notification message and then disconnects.

Initialization String.

The modem initialization string is entered in this field. Refer

to the modem’s documentation for further information. The default setting is
ATEQ0V1.

Compressed SLIP.

The choices are AUTO, ENABLE, and DISABLE. The AUTO

setting allows the unit to negotiate with the far end to enable or disable SLIP
compression, depending on the type of connection.
