Error detection and correction for misconfigured and disconnected modems
Remote Notification provides the option of receiving alarms and notices at a remote
location. Using the Terminal mode, the user calls the PDU to perform basic
monitoring. In the event of a PDU alarm or notice, the user is notified at the remote
location. The PDU calls through the modem to the user’s computer or pager and
leaves a message.
Remote Notification is an extension of the terminal mode with the additional support
algorithms necessary to control an external modem. Connection to the PDU is made
when a user calls the PDU on the phone. The user has exactly the same capabilities
as if using a terminal connected directly to an RS−232 port.
Remote Notification differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition of the
following functions:
S
Call Answer
The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the PDU from a remote
location and enter terminal mode.
S
Call Out
The Call Out function allows the PDU to be configured to call either a remote
computer or numeric paging service over the phone line. Call Out allows the PDU
to call a remote computer and leave a one-line descriptive message of the alarm or
notice condition. Numeric paging support allows the PDU to call a paging service
and send numeric messages.
S
Housekeeping
The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the PDU and modem.
