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 FastTrace-R
software.
Redcare Setting
The Redcare setting enables the system (FastTrace-R, 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.
Note: Check whether your telecommunications provider offers the Redcare service.
Enable Redcare Check Box
If the operator checks the ‘Enable Redcare’ checkbox the Security Poll feature is enabled, and
the Poll Interval and Poll String edit boxes become available.
Poll Interval
Options:1 to 99 seconds
Factory Default: 5 seconds
The operator can enter a number of seconds to determine how often the ‘Poll String’ is sent to
the modem.
Poll String Edit Box
The installer can enter a string that is used to send to the modem, indicating that the FastTrace-
R is still operating. The maximum number of characters is 40.
Note: Please check with your telecommunications provider as to the availability of this
feature.
Advanced Serial Communications Settings
The Advanced Serial Communications Settings are used to configure the Point to Point Protocol
(PPP) and Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) parameters to be used by the FastTrace-R.
PPP is the Internet standard for transmission of IP packets over serial lines (asynchronous and
synchronous) and PAP provides the security for the serial connection.
