DTMF Control

Models with an internal modem <-M suffix> can be controlled from dial up connections using handset dialing tones (touch
tones). Use of DTMF control requires a unique PIN number set for each user. This PIN is set using the command line
interface and must be 4 to 10 digits long. Program a PIN code of 0 to disable a users ability to use DTMF control.
DTMF Call Sequence:
1. Dial the phone number connected to the iBootBar. Upon connection a prompt tone will be heard.
2. Enter the PIN followed by the # key. Upon successful entry, a ready tone will be heard. If no PIN or incorrect PIN
is received, an error tone and new prompt tone will be issued. After three unsuccessful attempts, the iBootBar will
hang up.
3. At the ready tone, enter an outlet number 1-8. The current status of that outlet will be stated in English: i.e. "one
on" or "six off".
4. The # key is used to change the state of the outlet. The * key is used to reboot (or power cycle) the outlet for the
time configured with the CLI command cycle time. The new status of the outlet is stated. If the * key is used, the
iBootBar will also state 'begin' to indicate the reboot or cycle has begun.
5. A new prompt tone will indicate that new commands can be entered. While a reboot is in progress, additional
outlets can be addressed and commanded.
6. The caller can hang up at any time to disconnect the call. Any reboots in progress will finish their cycle time as
programmed.
NOTE: Not issuing a command for 5 seconds will cause the iBootBar to hang up.
Notes:
1. The only outlets that a caller has access to are determined by the CLI command set user outlet.
2. While prompts and voice responses are being played, the iBootBar will not process DTMF tones. Wait for the
status and prompts to complete before issuing new commands
3. Address an outlet with a number command before entering a control command (# or *) if unsure which outlet is
being addressed, send the outlet number again.
4. Factory Default user admin has default PIN 23646. Change to desired PIN if maintaining this account. Resetting
to factory defaults will restore this user and PIN.
Timed Events
The iBootBar provides the ability to turn On, Off or Cycle outlets based on time and date. Each individual outlet or group
can be set to operate a selected command at a specific time and date. The Timed Events are programmed thru the
Control &Setup Utility or the CLI interface
