CHAPTER 3 - Operation
his chapter, divided into Configuration and Operation sections, will explain how
to configure the DialStat
TM
to react to I/O events and how an operator can make
the dialer respond to remote commands. The Microtel DialStat
TM
features a single
level, interactive command structure--there are no multi-level menu structures to
navigate. Commands are sent to DialStat
TM
through your telephone either locally or
during a call to or from the dialer, by pressing a sequence of touch-tones on your
telephone. Each command entered is acknowledged with a spoken response from the
dialer, providing verification that the command was entered correctly and understood by
the dialer.
T
All programming commands (commands that modify dialer configuration or cause an
action to occur) begin with ‘**’ (two stars). All review (report) commands begin with a
‘*’ (single star). After each command is entered, the dialer will respond with a voice
message. Most commands require exactly the same number of keys every time, but some
commands have a variable data length. The end of variable length data commands is
performed with the ‘**’ (two stars).
NOTE: An unwanted command can be terminated at any time by pressing the ‘#’ key.
The dialer will respond, “Ready”, indicating it is ready to accept a new
command.
Throughout this manual, all commands are highlighted for quick reference as follows:
*nn Review item
**nndd Configure item
If your telephone line is not yet installed, you can still configure your dialer:
1. With power to the dialer off, connect the telephone to dialer’s PHONE jack.
2. Take the telephone off-hook.
3. Turn ON power to the dialer (external 12 VDC power required)
4. The telephone should now be connected to the dialer (indicated by the OFF HOOK
LED being ON ).
5. You may now enter any of the touch-tone commands to query/configure the dialer.
6. When you are finished, hang-up. The OFF HOOK LED should turn OFF indicating
that you hung-up.
