5. Installing the Remote Link
EAC-2100 Manual: (Draft, 02/01) Page 5-4
5.5 Testing the Remote Link
After the remote link has been installed and programmed, you should test its operation.
The EAC-2100 should be able to answer calls placed from the remote link. It should
also be able (if so programmed) to place calls to a predetermined number when certain
alarm conditions exist.
5.5.1 EAC-2100 Answering
The EAC-2100 constantly monitors and answers incoming calls even if it is
being exercised via the local link. To test the booster's ability to answer calls
from the remote link, complete the following steps.
1. Ensure that the remote link has been installed as required:
• Conventional ASCII terminal
• Terminal and modem set to:
o Appropriate baud rate for the modem (normally 9600 baud)
o 7 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit
o Full duplex (no local echo)
2. Dial the phone number of the handset in the EAC-2100. (After about one
ring, the EAC-2100 will answer and try to set up communication.)
• If the modems fail to connect, the modems will terminate the call after
a set period of time.
• If the modems are successful in establishing a link, the remote modem
will indicate CONNECT.
3. Type <CR>. (The familiar EAC-2100 response should appear.)
If there are illegible characters, check the modem/terminal parameter
setup.
