Communicate With the System
During a routine installation, the PC-based Admin program communicates with the Digital Voice
Processing System. There are times when a more general purpose tool must be used that allows
diagnosis of start-up / configuration problems and allows uploading and downloading of
software to the system. To communicate with the Digital Voice Processing System at this lower
level, a terminal communication program is required such as ProComm Plus™ or ECom. ECom is
a communication application installed from the Windows Admin disk.
When using the terminal communications program, set the serial port parameters to 9600 baud,
no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. Some communications programs that run under Windows
are too slow for the Digital Voice Processing System's high data transfer rate.
In this section, the term ECom indicates the terminal communications package you should be
using.
Run Software
Perform these steps to begin running the Windows administration program:
Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11 for Workgroups
In the Admin Group, double-click the Admin icon.
Windows 95/98 NT
Click Start. From the Startup menu, select Programs, Admin, then click the Admin icon.
Modem Connection
The Digital Voice Processing System supports remote maintenance via a modem. Many
installations require that a modem be connected to the Digital Voice Processing System so
remote maintenance and service can be performed. The Digital Voice Processing System
requires a Hayes command set compatible modem that supports at least 9600 baud transfers. It
also requires a modem that supports switch selectable settings.
During boot-up, the Digital Voice Processing System sends the necessary AT commands to the
modem to set it for auto-answer and to suppress result codes. However, usually it is necessary to
configure the modem using DIP switches to do the same thing. Once a modem is connected, the
system must be restarted. During reboot, signals are sent to the modem to place it in auto-
answer mode. Below are the commands sent to the modem:
@ECHO AT
@ECHO AT S0=1 Q1
