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 6
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
For example:
ATDT12015551234 W*10
. Also, a barrier code (4 to 11
digits) may be required between the
ATDT
and the
W*10
entries. For
example:
ATDT12015551234 W1234567 W*10
.
■ When the connection is made, the password prompt appears on the
screen. (You may have to press more 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:
