POWER CONTROL
The A/C power is controlled by a few simple codes sent to Pal. In all cases, Pal responds with tones to
confirm commands and to report the current status of the power. If invalid codes are sent, Pal responds
with a low ‘Error’ tone. Power can only be controlled on calls placed to Pal. During outgoing calls, Pal is
totally transparent, allowing any phone numbers to be dialed without risk of accidental power control.
Select Outlet
Once PowerPal EXP is ready, it will send a “Ready” prompt (three short beeps). The caller has 10
seconds to enter a 1 or 2
to select the desired outlet.
Pal will respond with the current power status:
One Beep = Power OFF
Two Beeps = Power ON
Once the current status is reported the caller can control the power. Power can either be changed On or
Off, or a Power Reset can be done.
The caller can switch any time between Outlets 1 and 2. Each time 1 or 2 is selected, the current
status of the outlet is reported.
Change Power
To Change Power Enter:
This Toggles power from On to Off or Off to On. Pal will respond with the new status. Power On (Two
Beeps), Power Off (One Beep). The Power Change command can be entered as many times as
necessary.
Power Cycle
To Power Cycle Enter:
Power Cycle will change the power status for a preset time. The length of the Cycle is user
programmable (5-45 sec.). When Power Reset is commanded, Pal first reports status at the start of the
pulse, then again after the preset time. This feature can be used to do a power reset (from On to Off to
On) or a momentary On (Off to On to Off).
EXTENSION RING
The Extension Port can be accessed at any time after Pal gives the “Ready” prompt by simply pressing
the 0
OPER
key. This will cause the Pal to ring the Extension Port. If the device on the extension does not
answer, Pal will terminate the call. The number of rings Pal allows to the extension is user programmable
(1-6 rings).
