RAD Data comm ASMi-52 manual To configure the security timeout, To change the dial-out parameters

Chapter 4 Configuration Installation and Operation Manual

To configure the security timeout:

1.From the Terminal menu, select Security Timeout (Main menu > Configuration > System Configuration > Control Port > Port Control > Terminal > Security Timeout) to configure the timeout: FOREVER (timeout is disabled) or 10 MIN (idle disconnect time – 10 min).

The display is refreshed and a new value appears.

2.Select Save to save the changes.

To change the dial-out parameters:

When the CONTROL port is configured to the dial out mode, you must specify the dial-out parameters of the port. This enables ASMi-52 to build the call command that is sent to the dial-out modem. When connecting the dial-out modem, you must use a cross cable (see Appendix A for the cross cable pinout). The modem connected to the CONTROL connector must be set up as follows (for convenience, the Hayes commands required to select the specified parameters are listed in brackets):

• Auto-answer mode (AT S0=1 and AT S1=1)

•Call set up in response to the CONNECT string (AT X0)

•No echo (AT E0)

•Verbose mode (no codes, e.g., CONNECT string instead of 0) (AT V1).

1.From the Port Control menu (see Figure 4-22), select Dial out (Main menu > Configuration > System Configuration > Control Port > Port Control > Port Control Mode > Dial Out).

The Dial Out menu appears (see Figure 4-26).

2.From the Dial Out menu, type the following:

1to instruct ASMi-52 to report all alarms (ALL), only major ones (MAJOR), or disable alarm reporting (NONE).

2to specify the number of dialing retries. 0, no redialing attempts are made if the call is not established on the first attempt. 1–8, if the call is not established on the first attempt, ASMi-52 makes the specified number of redials.

This parameter applies to both primary and alternate numbers:

If the call is not established after dialing the primary directory number the specified number of times, ASMi-52 attempts to establish the call by dialing the alternate directory number (provided the use of an alternate number is enabled).

If the call is not established within the specified number of redialing attempts on neither of the two directory numbers, ASMi-52 stops the call attempts. When a new alarm report must be sent, the call attempts are started again. The user is notified that the call attempts failed by a message recorded in the alarm log file (separate messages are provided for each directory number).
