System information

Time and Date
The machine’s Time and Date are used extensively for communication pur-
poses. For example: League statistics are stamped with the time and date
that the match was played and the Call Window (below) uses the time func-
tion to set the modem for the number of rings after which it answers incom-
ing calls.
To set the Time and Date see page 4.13.
Machine Name
The machine’s name is used to help the operator distinguish where collect-
ed information came from. Each machine should have a unique Machine
Name.
To set the machine’s name see page 4.16.
Modem Password
The Modem Password is used as a security device. Only a person knowing
the correct password can log in and communicate with a Black Widow.
To set the Modem Password see page 4.17.
Call Window
The call window allows the operator to set a specific “window” of time during
each 24 hour period that the modem will answer after a different number of
rings than its normal setting.
To set the Call Window: From the Setup/Test menu choose Modem and
Arachnet Setup - Modem Menu - Modem Setup. The figure below shows
the Adjust Call Window screen.
