Dial-Out
The DGC-2020 uses telelocator alphanumeric protocol (TAP) version 1.7 when communicating with
paging companies. This data format
D
specifies seven data bits with even parity. If required, eight data bits
with no parity may be specified.
The message string sent by the DGC-2020 can be limited to a length supported by the receiving pagers
E
.
If a message to be transmitted by the DGC-2020 exceeds the pager message limit, the DGC-2020 will
make multiple calls to transmit the complete message.
Dial-out messages are sent by the DGC-2020 at a user-defined interval
F
. This interval gives an operator
the opportunity to dial into the DGC-2020. A second user-defined interval
G
determines how frequently
dial-out attempts are made following a dial-out failure.
Dial-In
When the DGC-2020 modem shares a line used for voice communication, the number of rings
H
required
for the modem to answer can be increased to allow time for an operator to answer an incoming telephone
call.

RS-485 Setup (Optional)
DGC-2020 controllers with the optional RS-485 communication port (style number xxxRxxxxx) can be
monitored and controlled via a polled network using the Modbus protocol. Adjustable RS-485 port settings
include the baud rate
A
, parity
B
, and port address
C
. Fixed RS-485 port settings include the number of data
bits (8) and stop bits (1).
Modbus register values for the DGC-2020 are listed and defined in Appendix B, Modbus Communication.
