Programming from a PC with SPM

6

With a Local or Remote Modem Connection

6

The method you use to access SPM by modem depends on whether you are
programming on site (locally) or from a remote location.

If you are on site, the modem must be connected to a 012 or a 016
(Release 4.0 and later only) module on the control unit. To establish a
connection to the control unit’s internal modem, dial

*10

.

If you are at a remote location, do one of the following:

— Place a call to the system on a remote access line, enter the barrier

code (if required), and dial the code for the internal modem (

*10

).

— Place a voice call to the system on a regular line and ask the operator to

transfer you to the modem (by dialing

*10

). When you hear the modem

answer tone, switch to data mode.

Modem Connections

6

You must make a data connection to a modem. The following modem dialing
commands work for most modems. These may not be the commands your
modem uses; refer to the user guide that came with your modem for specific
information.

If the PC is in the same location as the control unit, type

*10

.

If the PC is in a remote location and your system has activated the Remote
Access feature, type the following:

ATDT

, the remote access telephone number, and

W*10

.

Then press

P

For example:

ATDT12015551234 W*10

P

. Also, a barrier code (4 to 11

digits) may be required between the

ATDT

and the

W*10

entries. For

example:

ATDT12015551234 W1234567 W*10

.

When the connection is made, the password prompt appears on the
screen. (You may have to press

P

more than once to get the

password prompt.)

NOTE:

If you enter a telephone number of fewer than 11 digits, you must end it
with a pound sign (#).

If the PC is in a remote location and your system has not activated the
Remote Access feature, do the following:

1.

Use the main telephone number to place a voice call to the system.

2.

Instruct the operator to transfer the call to the modem by transferring
the call to

*10

.

3.

Put the modem on line by switching it to data mode.
