Private Line Commissioning
A private line is commissioned by establishing communications between 2 RTUs. If the RTUs are unable to
communicate, carry out the following steps:
• Telstra sockets and plugs (in Australia) use pins 4 and 6 for private line communications. Ensure that
these two wires are being used or that the same pair of wires at each end of the line are being used.
• Kingfisher RTUs use the two outer pins on their private line ports for communications (ie. the top and
bottom pins). Ensure that these two outer pins are connected to pins 4 and 6 of the Telstra socket.
• To test whether a signal is getting through, perform a carrier test on the remote RTU using Toolbox
(Utilities, Carrier Test) and then check to see if 300 to 500 AC millivolts can be measured across the
receiving line.
• Ensure the port is configured correctly. Please see the topic Configuration - Port List, Type.
PSTN Modem Commissioning
A modem link is commissioned by establishing communications between 2 RTUs. If the RTUs are unable to
communicate reliably, carry out the following steps:
• Telstra sockets and plugs (in Australia) use pins 2 and 6 for PSTN communications. If there is no ring
tone, check if these two wires are being used.
• Using the modem directly connected to the PC, use the Toolbox Utilities, Terminal program to manually
dial the remote site. Check that the modems connect at the correct baud rate and that an RTU status
can be obtained. If the modems will not connect, check that the same error correction settings are in
both modems (try disabling error correction). If the modems can connect, ensure that they can stay on
line for at least 60 seconds by continuously viewing the RTU Status (this will test the line quality).
• Ensure that the local RTU has been configured to wait long enough for the remote RTU to answer
(please see the topic Configuration - PSTN, Dial Timeout). For GSM communications, this may take up
to 60 seconds.
