2. Select Save to save the changes.

To change the dial-out parameters:
When the CONTROL port is configured to the dial out mode, you must specify the
dial-out parameters of the port. This enables ASMi-52 to build the call command
that is sent to the dial-out modem. When connecting the dial-out modem, you must
use a cross cable (see Appendix A for the cross cable pinout).
The modem connected to the CONTROL connector must be set up as follows (for
convenience, the Hayes commands required to select the specified parameters are
listed in brackets):
• Auto-answer mode (AT S0=1 and AT S1=1)
• Call set up in response to the CONNECT string (AT X0)
• No echo (AT E0)
• Verbose mode (no codes, e.g., CONNECT string instead of 0) (AT V1).
1. From the Port Control menu (see Figure 4-24), select Dial out.
The Dial Out menu appears (see Figure 4-27).
2. From the Dial Out menu, type the following:
 1 to instruct ASMi-52 to report all alarms (ALL), only major ones (MAJOR), or
disable alarm reporting (NONE).
 2 to specify the number of dialing retries. 0, no redialing attempts are made
if the call is not established on the first attempt. 1–8, if the call is not
established on the first attempt, ASMi-52 makes the specified number of
redials.
This parameter applies to both primary and alternate numbers:
 If the call is not established after dialing the primary directory number the
specified number of times, ASMi-52 attempts to establish the call by
dialing the alternate directory number (provided the use of an alternate
number is enabled).
 If the call cannot be established within the specified number of redialing
attempts on neither of the two directory numbers, ASMi-52 stops the call
attempts. When a new alarm report must be sent, the call attempts are
started again. The user is notified that the call attempts failed by a
message recorded in the alarm log file (separate messages are provided
for each directory number).
 3 to specify the time (in sec) ASMi-52 waits for an answer after each dialing
attempt. If the called station does not answer within the specified time,
ASMi-52 disconnects. If additional call attempts are allowed,
ASMi-52 redials immediately after disconnecting. The available selections are
30, 45, or 60 seconds.
