With a Local or Remote Modem Connection	6

The method you use to access SPM by modem depends on whether you are programming on site (locally) or from a remote location.

■If you are on site, the modem must be connected to a 012 or a 016 (Release 4.0 and later only) module on the control unit. To establish a connection to the control unit’s internal modem, dial *10.

■If you are at a remote location, do one of the following:

—Place a call to the system on a remote access line, enter the barrier code (if required), and dial the code for the internal modem (*10).

—Place a voice call to the system on a regular line and ask the operator to transfer you to the modem (by dialing *10). When you hear the modem answer tone, switch to data mode.

Modem Connections

You must make a data connection to a modem. The following modem dialing commands work for most modems. These may not be the commands your modem uses; refer to the user guide that came with your modem for specific information.

■If the PC is in the same location as the control unit, type *10.

■If the PC is in a remote location and your system has activated the Remote Access feature, type the following:

ATDT, the remote access telephone number, and W*10. Then press 2

For example: ATDT12015551234 W*10 2. Also, a barrier code (4 to 11 digits) may be required between the ATDT and the W*10 entries. For example: ATDT12015551234 W1 34567 W*10.

■When the connection is made, the password prompt appears on the screen. (You may have to press 2more than once to get the password prompt.)

NOTE:

If you enter a telephone number of fewer than 11 digits, you must end it with a pound sign (#).

■If the PC is in a remote location and your system has not activated the Remote Access feature, do the following:

1.Use the main telephone number to place a voice call to the system.

2.Instruct the operator to transfer the call to the modem by transferring the call to *10.

3.Put the modem on line by switching it to data mode.
