The remote device's modem must be compatible with CCITT V.22bis and support connections
at 2.4 kbps. Set the remote modem for auto-answer mode. Both the remote device and
modem should be set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
PRT PHONE#
The Print Phone Number field shows the number the modem dials to report alarms to the
remote device. This number can be up to 14 digits long.
PRT RETRY
The Print Retry field specifies the amount of time the system will wait between attempts to
redial the remote device. The retry interval can be from 1 to 60 minutes.
PRT ATTEMPTS
The Print Attempts field is the maximum number of times the system will try to contact the
remote device before giving up. The number of attempts can be from 1 to 99.
PRT, MAJ&CRIT
The Print Major field specifies the maximum amount of time the system will wait from the
occurrence of a major alarm until it places a call to the external device to report it. This interval
cycle can be from 1 to 500 seconds. All alarm reports designated as Major will be reported at
that time. For example, if you specify an interval cycle of 5 minutes (300 seconds), every
major alarm occurring during that interval will be reported at the end of that cycle.
The Print Major and Critical interval cycle starts from the most recent of:
1. The end of the last Major alarm cycle (if no alarms occur).
2. When parameters are saved using the Save command from the Menu of Actions.
3. Forty (40) seconds after the last alarm message is reported.
PRT MIN&INFO
The Print Minor field is the maximum time the system will wait from the occurrence of a
minor alarm until it places a call to the remote device to report it. This interval cycle can be
from 1 to 32,000 seconds. All alarm reports designated as Minor will be reported at that time.
For example, if you specify an interval cycle of 60 minutes (3600 seconds), every minor alarm
that occurs during that interval will be reported at the end of that cycle.
The Print Minor interval cycle starts from the most recent of any of the following:
