  • Page 2 Telecom Requirements Telecom Requirements The Mercury modem does not fully meet Telecom's impedance requirements. Performance limitations may occur when used in conjunction with some parts of the Network. Telecom will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances. The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because of this there may be circumstances where the device does not give its optimum performance.

  • Page 3: Fcc Part 68

    In case of operational problems, disconnect your unit by removing the modular plug from the telco jack. If your regular phone (or other device or system) still works properly, your Mercury Modem has a problem and must remain disconnected and (officially) serviced or returned for repairs.

The default value is (Enabled). Note, the Alarm Call-In function (described below) must be enabled for Battery Low Call-In to operate.
  • Page 38 Retries Retries determines the number of times a modem will retry a call if the initial Alarm Call-In is unsuccessful. If the Mercury Modem does not receive an alarm acknowledgment from a host computer, all of the primary retries will be attempted before switching to the secondary strategy.
  • Page 39 Modem Configuration (WINDOWS) Dial Type Dial Type selects the type of dialing the modem uses when calling-in to another modem. Tone dialing must be available from the local phone system before this option can be selected. Figure 24 Dialing Speed Dialing Speed is used to specify the duration of the tones in Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) dialing.
