CALL ReCePTION SeTTINGS
Rings Until Answer
This is the number of times SCADA 3000 will let the phone ring before it answers an incom-
ing call. Note that the unit will not answer a call if someone is on-line through one of the
RS232 ports.
Programmable range: 1–20 rings
Default setting: 1 ring
Carrier Wait Time
The Carrier Wait Time is the amount of time SCADA 3000 will wait for a modem connection
when it receives an incoming call.
NOTE: Do not set this parameter too short, otherwise a modem connection may
never be established.
Programmable range: 0 to 90 seconds
Default setting: 60 seconds
Online Timeout
The online timeout will force the SCADA 3000 to disconnect from an on-line session if no
data requests have been made for the programmed time period. Each time data is requested,
the online timeout will reset. If the time period is set to 0, the online timeout feature becomes
disabled. This feature prevents the unit from staying connected in the event of a loss in com-
munications.
Programmable range: 0–255 minutes
Default: 4 minutes
Voice Call Security
Asterisks indicate that Voice Password and Acknowledgment Codes are entered. Default values
for each are “555.” The voice password must be enabled on the voice programming screen.
The voice password prevents unauthorized access into voice programming mode. (For informa-
tion on changing and programming passwords and codes, see Chapter 9.)
Current User Information
This area of the System Form reflects the current user information, including name, access
level, how long the user has been logged on, and number of logins. You can change User
information here by clicking on the Change button, and also check to have the SCADA 3000
remember your password. (For detailed instructions, see the sections on setting up user accounts and
changing passwords in Chapter 9.)
UNIVeRSAL ADDReSS FORmAT (UAF)
Overview
The Universal Address Format (UAF) is the generic method of referencing almost any param-
eter inside the SCADA 3000. It is used to configure the Local Display, the Data Logger, the
Voice Status Report, the PID loops, and for accessing information in both the Ladder program
and the C Program. In most cases you can simply choose the UAF from a menu. This section
will help you understand how UAFs are defined and provide examples on how to specify them.
