8.2.2 Call Out

The Call Out function contains programmable alarms and status events (see Chapter 11,
computer or pager for each selected event. See Configuring the Modem" on page 8−5
for information on the modem configuration. See User-Selected Events" on page 8−10 to
note which events are designated as group one or two. These events are selected when the
UPS is purchased. The Call Out function activates as follows:
A
A

If calling a pager service and the service answers, the UPS delays momentarily and then
dials the pager number. See Configuring the Modem to Call a Numeric Pager" on
page 8−6 for more information on configuring a modem to dial a pager.
If the phone number that the UPS is calling does not answer, the UPS delays for a time
period (programmable from 1 to 60 minutes) and then reattempts the call. If answered,
the UPS ceases further attempts to call. Each call group can be programmed for a separate
number of attempts to call and delay between calls. Each unsuccessful attempt to call
causes an unsuccessful notify event to be logged into the UPS event log.
If both call groups are active, the UPS alternates between calling the groups. The Call Out
process can be terminated at any time by calling into the UPS and sending the reset
command (press and hold [CTRL] and press [R]) or by turning the key switch on the front
of the UPS.

A UPS alarm or notice occurs that is programmed to cause a Call Out.
The UPS takes the modem off the hook and sends a command to the modem to call the
notification groups (phone numbers) required. The command sent to the modem for
group one is ATDTS0" and ATDTS1" for group two. This allows the user to program
the phone numbers into the modem.
The UPS logs a successful notify to the event log when the remote computer or modem
answers and leaves an event message with the following format.
nnn<space>mmm<LF><CR>
where:
nnn =
<space> =
mmm =
<LF> =
<CR> =
NOTE Because the pager service is not a modem, the UPS does not know if its message
got through; therefore, the UPS continues to call the pager service for a programmed
number of times or until a call-in reset is performed. An unsuccessful notify event is
logged into the UPS event log for each attempted call out.
