7.5Operating modes: Modem Mode and TiXML Mode

TiXML Modus

Mitsubishi Alarm Modems (MAM) can handle a wide range of tasks automatically. These tasks are written and configured in TiXML, a variant of the XML standard. This operating mode is called TiXML Mode.

7.5.1Alarm Editor MX-MAE activates the correct mode

If you always configure the Mitsubishi Alarm Modem with the MX-MAE software, you do not have to worry about the two modes, as this tool will automatically activate the correct mode (TiXML Mode). You can skip the rest of this section and continue reading at the chapter 8 "Software".

7.5.2Using MAM without MX-MAE

Only if you are using the MAM without MX-MAE, for example:

￿because you wish to use the MAM for other programs just as a simple modem,

or

￿because you wish to work with a terminal program such as Windows Hyperterminal,

or

￿because you are programming a PLC that is required to send commands to the MAM, you will have to take the difference between TiXML Mode and Modem Mode into account.

7.5.3TiXML Mode

The task definition for TiXML Mode is loaded on the MAM by means of a project file (the configu- ration file). These kinds of projects can be created with different software tools (e.g. MX-MAE). MX-MAE will automatically switch a MAM to the correct mode, i.e. TiXML Mode. The user does not have to worry about this.

After power on a MAM will always be in the last activated mode (TiXML Mode or Modem Mode). The device can be set to the TiXML Mode with a factory reset (refer to section 10.2.3) so that it can immediately start with the automatic tasks, e.g. send alarms in the event of faults.

7.5.4Modem Mode (also AT mode)

Normal modems (AT modems) can do nothing “on their own” and are controlled by means of simple communication commands, e.g.:

￿“Dial a telephone number and connect me” and

￿“Terminate the connection and hang up.”

These modems always require a PC or a communication controller that executes the tasks since they have no “intelligence” of their own and do not recognize any Internet protocols.

For greater compatibility, however, Mitsubishi Alarm Modems can also be switched to operating like a normal AT modem. This is called Modem Mode, in which the red Mode LED will be lit.

PIN entry without MX-MAE (only GM series)

If you are not using MX-MAE, you must enter the PIN or SUPER PIN with TiXML or AT com- mands by means of a terminal program. Therefore refer to the TiXML manual.
