13.3Description of Operation
The Remote Notification option performs three basic functions: Call Answer into Terminal mode, Call Out to a remote terminal, and Housekeeping. Remote Notification also allows access to any functions available in the Terminal mode from a remote computer or terminal.
13.3.1 Call Answer
When the modem receives a call, the UPS is alerted to wait for a connect signal from the modem. When the modem answers and finishes handshaking, the UPS acknowledges the modem connect signal and allows the caller to use the Terminal mode (refer to Chapter 12, “Serial Communications”). In this mode, the user can request the following:
NOTE: The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate standard keyboard characters.
·Display UPS Control Panel. Press and hold [ESC], then press [V].
·Display event History by pressing and holding [ESC], then pressing [H].
·Display Node Bits Setup by pressing and holding [ESC], then pressing [N].
·Display any new event by pressing and holding [ESC], then pressing [L].
13.3.2 Call Out
The Call Out function contains programmable alarms (setup by service personnel) and status events (refer to Chapter 11, “Responding to System Events”). The notification groups tell the UPS to notify a remote computer or pager for each selected event. Refer to the “Configuring the Modem” section of this chapter for information on the modem configuration. The Call Out function activates as follows:
·A UPS alarm or notice occurs that is programmed to cause a Call Out.
·The UPS takes the modem off the hook and sends a command to the modem to call the notification groups (phone numbers) required. The phone are stored in the modem only. The command sent to the modem for group one is “ATDS=0”, “ATDS=1” for group two, “ATDS=2” for group three, and “ATDS=3” for group four,. This allows the user to program the desired phone numbers into the modem.
