5. To connect to the PowerMax modem, the local software initiates the dialing
process. This process includes a number of steps:
Step 1: Dialing.
Step 2: Waiting 2-4 rings (The dialing process ends if connection is made).
Step 3: Hanging up.
Step 4: Waiting a number of seconds before trying again.
Step 5: Beginning the dialing process again.
The Try to connect field defines the number of times the dialing process
should be initiated (steps 1-4). The Wait for 2-4 rings during field
defines the time allocated for the two to four telephone rings (step 2). This
time needs to be defined as different telephone systems/modems take
different amounts of time to carry out the rings.
The time entered into the Wait for Connection field should be no less than the
time entered in the Wait for 2-4 rings during field. The Wait for Connection
field defines the time (in seconds) it takes to dial to the control panel, for the
control panel to answer, and for the control panel modem and the PC to establish
connection.
