Dial Up

The FEP communication port baud rate should be equal to the modem baud rate. When
connecting the IP Gateway Toolbox instead of the modem, the Toolbox baud rate should also
be set up to be equal.
The unit to which the modem is connected may be referred to as Local or by Site ID and Link
ID. All other sites in the system should be referred to by their Site ID and Link ID.
The modem connected to the site must be in Auto-Answer mode.
For example, for the Hayes Smart Modem 1200 the jumpers should be as detailed in the
following table.

Parameter Settings
Three Dial Up parameters may be changed by the user, if necessary. The changes are made
directly in the WMDLCDRV.INI file located in the itbox550\Prg\ directory. The file can be
modified using a standard Windows text editor. All three parameters are found in the [Dial]
section of the file, as shown below.
The first parameter enables the user to lengthen the pause time in dialing. The second
specifies whether the dialing method is Tone, Pulse or the default of the phone line. The third
parameter can be used to define a default string, if such is required by the modem.
[Dial]
pcc_delay_dial0= 20 ; dial delay time in sec
pcc_dial_method0= 0 ; dialing method: 0= Tone, 1=Pulse, 2=None
; optional string to be sent before dial
;pcc_optional_str0= at+ms=,,,9600P ; This string forces line communication to 9600
