Remote Modem Connection - ACR Electronics PowerWatch Reference Manual

change this command to ATDP.
NOTE: If you must always switch to an outside line to dial, you can embed the
code here as well (for example, ATDT9W; the W after the number causes the
modem to wait for another dial tone).
Setting the Timeout
Timeout enables you to set the number of seconds that the PowerWatch
program will wait to connect with the remote station before hanging up.
Leave the default setting at forty-five seconds unless you are placing an
international call, in which case you may need to choose a longer timeout.

Remote modem connection

Remote modem connection
Before you install the remote modem at the remote station, you want to be
sure that you are able to communicate with it. To save yourself time and
trouble, we suggest that you set up your computer station and your remote
station close to each other on different phone lines (preferably in the same
building) to test their operation.
Connecting the Remote
The remote station consists of a PowerWatch VDR, an LIC-100 Lite-Link
interface cable, a 9- to 25-pin adapter, an MA-100, and a modem.
1. Connect the LIC-100 Lite-Link interface cable to the 9- to 25-pin adapter.
2. Connect the 9- to 25-pin adapter to the MA-100.
3. Connect the MA-100 to the modem.
4. Connect the modem to a phone jack.
5. Plug the wand into the VDR's optical port.
When you have connected all equipment and set up both modems, you are
ready to dial the remote site.
