NOTES CONCERNING THE MODEL 1431/32 AUTO-DIAL MODEMS cont.
immediately and any logged data will be sent to the remote printer. When all the data is sent, the
panel will instruct the auto-dial modem to hang up.
2 - Allows PANELMAN to dial into the panel to perform upload/download functions.
3 - A personal computer with PANELMAN software or a Model 1430 auto-answer
modem/polling multiplexer interface is located in a central/monitoring station. The following
options appear for dial modes 1, 2, and 3 but they are relevant for dial mode 3 only. The display
will show ACCESS MODE 0. Leave this value unchanged if unrestricted access is to be
allowed when dialling remotely into the panel using the PANELMAN software. If you wish to
restrict access by means of a password, enter a 1. If you wish to have the panel dial back to you
after you have previously established contact with the panel, enter a 2. Press the RETURN/
ENTER key and the display will show ACCOUNT #A 0. The numbering scheme for a
control panel when used with the auto-dial modem is from 000000 to 099254. This 6-digit value
has been broken down into two 3-digit values, account #a and account #b. Enter a 3-digit value
ranging from 000 to 099 in the account #a window. Note that a value up to 127 can be entered in
account #a; however, this will create a 6-digit account number and the central/ monitoring
station automation computers cannot handle numbers greater than five digits. Press the
RETURN/ ENTER key and the display will show ACCOUNT #B 0. Enter a 3-digit value
ranging from 000 to 254 and then press the RETURN/ENTER key.
The display will momentarily show ACCESS CODE followed by a blank screen with the cursor
flashing in the left-most position. If you have chosen password protection (access mode 1) when
dialling into a control panel, enter your password here; otherwise, press the RETURN/ENTER
key. The password may be an alpha-numeric string up to 127 characters long. You may have a
unique password for every panel because the PANELMAN program will store the password on a
per customer basis. Press the RETURN/ENTER key to proceed.
The display will show DIAL LIMIT 5. This value may be changed to reflect the number of
times that an attempt is made to call out to the central/monitoring station. The maximum allowed
value is 15. The panel will check both stored telephone numbers in attempting to dial out and if
the dial limit is reached, the flashing alert message CALL NOT ANSWERED will be
displayed. Enter a new value or press the RETURN/ENTER key to proceed.
The display will show ENTER DIAL COMMAND for a moment, followed by the dial
command AT E0 X2 S0=8 DP. This command is sent to the auto-dial modem ahead of the
telephone number and tells the auto-dial modem to listen (AT), turn the echo off (E0), don’t wait
for dial tone (X2), set the auto-answer to eight rings (S0=8), and the dialling method to use
(default command is DP for pulse dialling). You may edit this command as necessary; however,
you should check with the factory to ensure that you are using the correct command structure.
The most common change will be to edit DP to DT for tone dialling. For more details on dial
