  • Page 4: Chapter 1: Introduction

    It replaces local or long distance phone calls with an automated Internet connection to your Internet Service Provider. Instead of calling out to remote sites, let the DCDSS1 deliver the data to you, virtually anywhere, anytime! Once installed, there is no need for human presence at the remote site.
  • Page 5: Chapter 2: Operation

    Data Storage Data Buffer and Time Stamping The DCDSS1 has a 60 Kbyte data buffer for storing data collected through the local serial port and time stamp information. The time stamp can be enabled to record the time that the data came into the local serial port.
  • Page 6: Buffer-Based Trigger

    Digital Input Trigger The digital input trigger dials the modem when an input signal is detected on the DCDSS1 digital input. It is a +5 volt signal, which can be set to active high or active low. The signal must stay active for at least 5 milliseconds to be detected.
  • Page 7: Serial Ports

    ISP Account The DCDSS1 allows for a primary and secondary (backup) ISP account. If the DCDSS1 is unable to connect to the primary ISP, three attempts will be made before switching to the secondary ISP for that delivery. Subsequent deliveries will revert back to the primary ISP.
  • Page 8: Email Setup

    50 bytes each. A user email address for the reply field is also limited to 50 bytes. The subject for the DCDSS1’s email will be <the event> <the trigger> <user defined ID>. The user defined ID can be up to 32 characters long.
  • Page 9: Time Setup

    You can adjust the time and date using the supplied configuration software. The DCDSS1 keeps track of the hour, minute, day, month, year, and day of the week. It can also be set up to automatically adjust for daylight savings time.
  • Page 10: Local Buffer Retrieval (New! May 2002)

    Local Buffer Retrieval The DCDSS1 also features local buffer retrieval mode. This feature allows the user to manually gather the data or error stored in the buffer at any time locally . This mode is very similar to the remote buffer retrieval method.
  • Page 11: Chapter 3: Setup

    These variables can be set up through the local serial port, or from a dial-in modem so you can configure and modify the DCDSS1 whether it’s on your desk or at a remote site. The initial DCDSS1 setup must be done through the local serial port.
