4) Turn on Phoenix II. The counter screen should display (after a self test):

Counter is now initializing the modem. The counter will perform this step every time you hang up after a connection &

automatically at midnight and 2 p.m. or a.m. of each day. Note: “Vx.xx“ is the current Phoenix II version number.

5) If everything is done correctly, the Phoenix II configures the modem and sets it properly. The counter will then

display:

Counter is now ready to accept incoming calls. You can still use the counter keypad by pressing the ENTER key. Press

the CLEAR key to return to this screen. Note: x.xx is the current Phoenix II version number.

6) If a nonprogrammable (i.e. Dumb Modem) modem has been connected or your smart modem is not functioning,

or you have incorrectly connected the cables, the display screen will now read:

If the counter is connected to a dumb modem, it is now ready to accept incoming calls. You can still use the counter

keypad by pressing the ENTER key. Press the CLEAR key to return to this screen.

Connecting to a Dumb Modem Other than a 1200 Baud Modem

The Phoenix II defaults to work with a 1200 Baud modem, if you want it to accept other Baud rate calls, you must

perform the following steps:

1) Disconnect any serial or modem cable from the Phoenix II.

2) Select the “Configure System” option when counter is not collecting data.

3) Press ENTER until the following option screen appears:

NOTE: When using a newer Cascade Modem, it is required that the counter baud rate be set at 19200 to

operate in <Smart Modem> mode.

NOTE: If the counter displays <Dumb Modem> when it’s connected to a smart modem, then something is not

working properly.
