Setting Communications in Terminal Mode With
Modem Dial-Out
Figure J-2 depicts the Set report Options (SO) command sequence screen, resulting in communications
in terminal mode with modem dial-out enabled.
Selecting option C under Communication Configuration sets the communications mode. Then, selecting
option T specifies that communications will be controlled by a terminal versus MML. The next option to
appear is the Alarm Reporting Mode.
The choices for alarm reporting mode include T) Terminal Alarm Reporting, E) Enable Modem Dial-
out, or O) Off. Option E enables modem dial-out. An alarm condition will interrupt, and report to, the
Common Control Unit (CCU) control screens.
Once all selections are made, Current Mode displays again, reflecting the selection. Note that the
modem requires configuration. This is accomplished by returning to the SO command menu and
selecting D) Display Modem/Port expander configuration (see later instructions for detail).
Feature Group 6.0/6.2 Screen Changes
The 6.0/6.2 Feature Group COMM Mode selections were labeled
1) Terminal and 2) MML. Options, however, were the same as found in current Feature Group.
The 6.0/6.2 Feature Group Alarm Reporting Mode selections were limited to T) Terminal, and O)
Off, and did not allow alarm dial-out in terminal communications mode.
