3) Once the Primary Call Retry Count is exhausted, subsequent calls will be made
at the Secondary Call Retry Interval, which is defined in hours. There is no limit
to the number of retries that can occur at the secondary rate.
Starting with firmware version V2.1 a new call retry feature was introduced. If the
Primary Call Retry Rate and Primary Call Retry Count are programmed with the same
number, say 7 and 7, then the following retry strategy is followed:
1) If a call fails, the DCM-200 will immediately attempt a call to the phone number or
IP address that has been programmed for Counter/Status Input-2.
2) If the call to this secondary number or address fails, the retry strategy that was
described previously is followed. Subsequent calls will always be placed to the
primary destination first followed by the secondary if the primary fails.
To program a phone number or IP address for Counter/Status Input-2, do the following
using MP32 (see Chapter-5 for more information):
1) Select the Inputs 1-2 Configuration tab on the MP32 screen.
2) Select “ALARM” for Counter/Status Input-2.
3) Select either Phone Number or IP Address and specify the destination phone
number or IP address and port number.
4) Select “DATA” for Counter/Status Input-2.
5) Select the Inputs 3-4 Configuration tab on the MP32 screen.
6) Select “DATA” for Counter/Status Input-3 and –4.
7) Reprogram the unit as described in Chapter-5.
If the inputs are not returned to the DATA state then the DC-2000 data collection
software will report a mismatch and will reject the data that is acquired from the ANSI
meter.
7.6 Behavior in CSD Mode
CSD mode is automatically selected when the unit is configured to dial a phone number
and is allowed to originate calls, or is allowed to answer an incoming call. See Chapter-
5 for information about configuring the DCM-200.
At the start of an outgoing call the red LED will flash slowly while the phone number is
being dialed. If an incoming call is detected, and the unit is allowed to respond to calls,
the call is answered in one or two rings. The red LED will flash quickly to indicate that
the call has been answered and that the unit is attempting to communicate with the
remote modem. In either case when a connection is made with the remote modem, the
red LED will turn on steadily.
