Remote Notification

14.1Description

Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and notices at a remote location. Remote Notification operates through a standard computer modem. Using the Terminal mode, the user calls the Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM) to perform basic monitoring. In the event of a SSBM alarm or notice, the user is notified at the remote location. The SSBM calls, through the modem, to the user’s computer or pager and leaves a message.

Remote Notification is an extension of the Terminal mode with the additional support algorithms necessary to control an external modem (refer to Chapter 13, “Serial Communications”). Connection to the SSBM is made when a user calls the SSBM on the phone. The user has exactly the same capabilities as if using a terminal connected directly to the SSBM RS---232 port. Remote Notification differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition of Call Answer, Call Out, and Housekeeping functions. The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the SSBM from a remote location and enter Terminal mode. The Call Out function allows the SSBM to be configured to call either a remote computer or numeric paging service over the phone line. Call Out allows the SSBM to call a remote computer and leave a one-line descriptive message of the alarm or notice condition. Numeric paging support allows the SSBM to call a paging service and send numeric messages. The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the SSBM and modem.
