Dial Prefix &F0 &K0

5.1.4 Operation with Host SCADA program

The Host SCADA program controls the operation of the 5901 modem by sending configuration

commands, or strings of commands to the modem. These commands are referred to as AT

commands. See section 10.2-AT Command Guidelines for information on how the AT commands

are structured.

The documentation for the Host SCADA program used will contain information about how to send

AT commands to the modem.

5.2 Operation with Programmable Controllers

The SCADAPack or TeleSAFE Micro16 controllers can control the operation of the 5901 modem

using TelePACE Ladder Logic or C Tools programming software.

To configure the SCADAPack or TeleSAFE Micro16 controller and the 5901 modem for successful

dial up communication the following steps are recommended.

 Configure the controller serial port to use the 5901 modem.

 Initialize the 5901 modem.

 Initiate a dial-up modem connection with another controller or SCADA host.

 Communicate with another controller or host after dial connection is made.

5.2.1 Configure Controller Serial Communication Port

The serial communication port that the controller uses to connect with the 5901 modem must be

configured for RS-232 Dial up modem. The controller serial ports are configured using the

TelePACE program. To configure the controller serial port:

 Select Controller from the TelePACE menu bar.

 Select Serial Ports from the Controller menu.

 In the Controller Serial Ports Settings dialog select RS-232 Dial up modem in the Port Type

selection for the com port being used.

5.2.2 Initializing the 5901 Modem

The modem initialization setting determines the 5901 modem operation when the application

program in the controller initiates a dial out or when a dial in is received from a remote modem.

Application programs usually require that the modem be initialized at the start of the program.

TelePACE Ladder Logic uses the INIM function for initializing the 5901 modem. Refer to the

TelePACE Ladder Logic Reference and User manual for complete information on this function.
