Modem Device
Setting up the Modem Device (TAP/Modem) in the Aspect System Structure
provides the default telephone number for the Central Paging Terminal of the paging
service provider for each instance of it applied to individual objects in the
Operational (Functional, Control, Location, and so on) Structures.
Table 9 lists the paging service providers and their telephone numbers that have
been tested and verified by ABB as functional for use with SMS and e-mail
Messaging as of the original publication of this instruction. The communication
method used is Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP). There are literally
hundreds of numbers that support TAP, but tests have only been performed using the
paging service providers listed in the table.
Working and properly set up modem hardware must be connected to an available
COM port in order for the Modem Device to function. Refer to Modem Hardware
(Hayes Compatible) on page 175 for more information.
Configuration of each individual personal pager number and/or mobile telephone
number occurs while setting up the Message Subscriber. Refer to Message
Subscriber on page 187 for more information.
