to an available network port to send data back to SCRAMNET

an interruption occur.
Analog Phone Line
An analog phone line can be used to transmit client data to
SCRAM
NET.
Wireless
The MultiConnect AW wireless device can be used to transmit the
client’s data to SCRAM
NET using a cellular network. Two versions
of the device are available for your use. Both function in the same
way using two generations of wireless communication technology.
MULTICONNECT AW WIRELESS DEVICE LIMITATIONS
Be aware of these three product limitations as you determine if
using the MultiConnect AW wireless device is your best option if the
client is being monitored for house arrest:
• There is no caller ID associated with the SCRAM Base
Station when using the wireless device. Consequently, you
cannot use caller ID to ensure that a SCRAM Base Station
is at a particular location.
• The wireless device does not have a movement sensor,
so you must rely on telephone loss and AC power loss
messages if you want to be notifi ed when a base station
has potentially been moved.
• The wireless device has no back-up battery.
Because of these limitations, the wireless device may be more
appropriate for curfew monitoring and low-risk clients. The device
may not be appropriate for more rigorous house-arrest programs
and high-risk offenders.
Direct Connect
In some cases, you may want the client to come in to the offi ce
on a regular basis for a face-to-face meeting. In this situation,
Direct Connect can be used during that meeting to upload the
client’s data. Direct Connect must be used if the three previous
communication methods cannot be used. There is no need to
assign a base station if Direct Connect is going to be used to
upload data.
2. Give the client a breath alcohol test.
3. Perform SCRAM
NET tasks.
a. If you were not able to enter the client’s information in
SCRAM
NET prior to the client’s arrival, enter that information
into SCRAMNET now using the Add New Client page.
