Parameter Function Values
NUM_OF_RETRIES
Used to control the number of dialing
retries.
This parameter applies to both the
primary and the alternate number.
• If the call is not established after
dialing the primary directory number
for the specified number of times,
FCD-E1 attempts to establish the call
by dialing the alternate directory
number (provided the use of an
alternate number is enabled by
means of the ALT_NUM_MODE
parameter).
• If the call cannot be established
within the specified number of
redialing attempts on neither of the
two directory numbers, FCD-E1 stops
the call attempts. When a new alarm
report must be sent, the call attempts
are started again. The user is notified
that the call attempts failed by a
message recorded in the alarm buffer
(separate messages are provided for
each directory number).
0 – no redialing attempts are made in
case the call is not established on the
first attempt.

number of times.

60 seconds.
