6.54.8 Message 220: Play_Sound
This message is only used with a Sound Agent, and will trigger the agent to play the sound or
sounds specified. An ACK message is returned immediately. The sounds are played in the
order they are specified.
Format:
(<string>) Up to 8 alphanumeric characters per sound.
6.54.9 Daylight Saving Time
In order for the station to control outside lights and other peripherals based on clock time
correctly, the station needs to know if the current station time is GMT or if Daylight Saving
Time is in effect. The ES-Firecoder uses information from the host operating system, therefore
it is important that this is correctly set.
An extra character on the end of Router parameter 20 (time_and_date) achieves this. This is
set to an ascii "0" if no Daylight Saving Time is in effect or "1" if it is. If this extra character is
not supplied (i.e. a "standard" message is received) this parameter is not changed.
6.55 ISDN Terminal Adaptor Notes
For ISDN use GD92 parameters should generally be set as follows:
"Frame Duration" - 3 seconds
"Frame Timeout" - 3 seconds
"Max dial-up time" - 10 seconds
"Modem Init String" - "ATS0=1"
"Modem Dial String" - "ATD"
The "Modem Dial Suffix" can be useful to include ISDN subaddressing without putting the subaddress
commands into the PSTN/My Phone tables.
The MTA "Modem Init String" should be set to "ATS0=0" for no auto answer, or "ATS0=1" for auto
answer.
