Service to
modify: SV001
Services are a vital component to the Protege System and allow many communication and monitoring functions
to be performed. Services are small independent functions within the Protege that are used to communicate
information or perform specialized control functions. An example of a communication service that is
programmed by default for SV001 is the local PC computer upload service.
When the service appears on the screen, press [ENTER] to program the service. The maximum number of
services that can be programmed is limited by your system's memory and configured profile.
i
Services that dial telephone numbers to report or send information to a remote location may be limited
by a fixed maximum number of dialing attempts. This configuration limitation only applies in countries
that impose a dialing attempts restriction and only settings below this value are allowed. Please verify
with your local communications regulatory agency if you are not familiar with the dialing configuration
for your region.
Selecting a Service to Modify
Each service is assigned a unique service number from 001 to 016. Your system will be limited to specific
number of services that are defined in the selected profile. For information on profiles refer to the Advanced
Programming Section (see page 201).
Service to
modify: SV001
Type the appropriate 3-digit service number or use the [Ð] and [Ï] keys to scroll the available services. When
