Data Rate
Options: 9600 bps, 19200 bps, 38400 bps, 57600 bps, 115200 bps, 230400 bps
Factory Default: 115200 bps
The Data Rate setting determines the speed in bits per second (bps) that data will be transferred
between the ADPRO FastTx COMMS port and the interface of the modem or terminal adaptor.
When connected to modems, the ADPRO FastTx is normally programmed for asynchronous
data at a specific data rate and is set for the maximum data rate that the particular modem can
support. This is commonly referred as the DTE to DCE baud rate.
Dial Time
Options: 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 120 seconds
Factory Default: 60 seconds
The Dial Time is the maximum time (in seconds) the ADPRO FastTx will wait before determining
a connection cannot be established and terminating the attempt. Dial Time starts from the instant
the dial procedure is initiated and can be set in 30-second increments. It is important that the
chosen value takes into account the time required to dial the number and the number of Answer
Rings programmed in the ADPRO VideoCentral PC at the receiving end.
A typical value is 60 seconds for the dial (PSTN) network and 30 seconds for the ISDN network.
Answer Rings
Options: 0 to 9, (0 = Don’t Answer)
Factory Default: 2 rings
The ADPRO FastTx can be programmed to either:
a. wait for a programmable number of rings from 1 to 9, in one ring increments, before answering
an incoming call, or
b. not answer any incoming calls (when the value is set to 0).
For example, set Answer Rings = 0 when the user does not want ADPRO VideoCentral
accessing this particular site if no alarms are being generated. Generally the Answer Rings
option would be set to 1-3 rings.
Initialisation String
This option is used to enter additional Hayes AT commands (in ASCII format) that may be
required to configure a modem or Hayes compatible RS232 terminal adaptor to initiate (or
activate) a particular product feature or setting. Refer to the User Manual of the particular device
to obtain the required Hayes AT commands.
Note that the Hayes command prefix (‘AT’) does NOT have to be entered at the start of an
Initialisation String, as it is automatically prefixed to the string contents by the ADPRO FastTx
software.
Redcare Setting
The Redcare setting enables the system (ADPRO FastTx, Modem and Telephone Exchange) to
perform a periodic Security Poll to ensure that the line is still active and the communications
equipment is useable.
If the ‘Modem/TA Model’ drop down list is set to ‘Direct Connect’, the ‘Redcare Setting’ box is not
available.
