Alarm Dialout String

1.2.1.3.5

The Alarm Dialout String contains the phone number to dial, along with any modem

commands or messages. To set this string, click on the Alarm Dialout String field and enter

the value.

Calling a Telephone

Remember that the telephone receiving the alarm call must have caller ID to display the

remote site's phone number, otherwise you will have no way of knowing where the call came

from.

1. The first part of the string contains a dial command for the modem. If the phone line at

the remote site has tone dial, type ATDT. If the phone line has plus dial, type ATDP.

2. After the dial command, type the number of the telephone that is to receive the alarm call.

For example, if you wanted a logger to dial a number from a tone dial phone line you would

type: ATDT 123-555-2222

Calling a Pager

In order to include a code that will identify the logger that called the phone number, you must

choose a pager system that accepts touch-tone codes that can be displayed on the pager.

1. First type the modem's dial command ATDT.

2. After the dial command, type the number of the pager that is to receive the alarm call.

3. After the pager number and before the identifying code, there must be a pause to allow

the receiving station to answer. Enter this pause by typing commas. (For most modems

each comma causes a pause of two seconds).

4. Type a code that will identify the logger.
