4.1 Controller Configuration
4.1.1 Set Controller Dial-Out Parameters
The dial-out parameters define if a controller is allowed to automatically connect to the host computer
and upload its contents to the host computer when the controller’s event memory reaches a defined
percentage of being full. Each controller has an “Event Capacity” which defines the maximum number
of events that can be stored by that controller (see Figure 3-14). When the number of events in a
controller reaches the “Threshold Percentage” of that capacity the controller will initiate a connection
with the host computer and upload the contents of its event buffer.
Figure 3-14: Controller Dial-Out Parameters – Disabled
NOTE: These instructions configure the controller for initiating a connection, but the Doors software
must also be configured to receive this information. This is done in “Enable/Disable Auto-Collection”
on page 4 in section 5. Both steps must be done for proper uploading of information from a controller to
the host computer/Doors software.
NOTE: If a controller is not successful in making a connection with the host computer, it will
continue to try to make a connection every 10 minutes until a successful connection is made and all
data in the controller’s buffer is uploaded to the host computer. In order for the controller to be able
to connect with the host computer, the host computer must be on and the Doors program must be
opened.
