Monitoring Service Setup
If the modem does not initialize you might not have the correct initialization string
set for your type of modem. The default setting is for a US Robotics modem, and is as
follows.
AT&F1 &N1 S9=1 S10=250 S27=1 Where:
&F1
*restores the factory profile 1 (hardware flow control).
&N1
*forces connection rate of 300 baud
S9=1
*gives a 0.1 second carrier detect response time.
S10=250
*allows a loss of carrier for 25 seconds before hanging up.
S27=1
*Enables ITU-T V.21 modulation at 300 bps
Modem hang-up string: This defaults to the standard ~~~+++~~~ATH0
Modem answer string: This defaults to the standard ATA
*The above are the parameters required by the downloading program. Each brand
and type of modem uses a different Initialization String to represent the required
peramitters.
Consult the owner's manual for your modem to find out what commands your
modem requires to set it as above. For example: For a Zoom modem the initialization
string is:
AT&F &C1 B0 S7=59 S9=1 S10=250 S37=1 N0.
&F
restores the factory profile.
&C1
makes the Data Carrier Detect follow the state of the remote carrier.
B0
selects ITU-T protocol.
S7=59
allows a wait of up to 59 seconds for receipt of the remote carrier.
S9=1
gives a 0.1 second carrier detect response time.
S10=250
allows a loss of carrier for 25 seconds before hanging up.
S37=1
instructs the modem to connect at 300 baud.
N0
fixes the handshake at the S37 value.
For option 3 (downloading from a remote computer):
Have the customer call you from the same phone line that the Console is connected to
(or call them). Ask the customer to set the Console to Run and then press the MONITOR
button (under the small flip-up lid (Set-up) under the main cover). Immediately after
pressing MONITOR the customer should hang up. When the customer hangs up, you
click on Download. After a successful download the Console chimes twice.
Note; the data format downloaded to the Console is a proprietary format and requires
the downloading software supplied by X-10PRO. However when the alarm trips the
format transmitted to the monitoring station complies with industry standard 4 + 2 format.
The Console can optionally be set to call a stand alone computer (Service Station
from the software screen) on a periodic basis. When it does this it reports its
information in "modem-speak." Proprietary software ( Call-in Logger from PROware
Software) is required in order to receive this data and hence use this option. This does
not take the place of a monitoring station!
