Operation

Notes:

When a Modem Mode Port exits command mode, or the DCD line is lost while command mode is active, the APS-8/16M will pulse the DTR line to the modem. The unit will then send the user-defined modem command strings to make certain the modem is properly disconnected and reinitialized.

All APS-8/16M RS232 ports can use both the unit’s internal modem and external modem(s) installed at another RS232 port, providing that the port password allows access to the desired modem port. To call out, invoke the /C command to connect to the port, and then access the modem as you normally would.

If desired, the Invalid Access Lockout Feature can be configured to completely shut down a port after a user-defined number of invalid access attempts are detected. For more information on the Invalid Access Lockout Feature, please refer to Section 5.5.4.
