Defining Operating Parameters
Note: A network disconnect signal overrides the Automatic Disconnect parameter
setting.
Retry Attempts
This parameter specifies the maximum number of times that the DAP will redial a call if
the previous attempt is unsuccessful. The Excalibur Multirate DAP allows you to store
six telephone numbers: one permanent, four alternate, and one temporary. The possible
settings for each phone number range from 0 (retries disabled) through 9 If this
parameter is set to 0 and an automatic dial attempt fails, a Return to Normal (RTN)
function must be performed from the front panel of the local unit before the unit will
automatically dial again. (See "RTN Function" in Chapter 7 for instructions.) From the
CMS system console, a Re-enable Auto Retries, under the Excalibur Dial Restoral
function, must be performed before the unit will automatically dial again.
Dedicated Line Test
This parameter specifies whether the DAP continuously monitors the dedicated line while
it is operating over the dial backup line. The DAP monitors the same conditions that it
uses for DDS Up in the Line Statistics submenu for the selected time interval. It also
monitors for the presence of multiport framing. If the DDS network is up for the
specified time and multiport framing is present, the DAP disconnects the dial backup line
and returns data transmission to the dedicated line.
Note: This parameter must be set to None when the service is set for LADC or LDM
and the clocking is set to External.
Line Test Interval
This parameter specifies the duration of the dedicated line test. The possible settings are
5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes.
Answer
This parameter specifies the conditions that cause the DAP to automatically answer dial
line calls. You can select from the following options:
•
Always - the DAP always answers calls.
•
Never - automatic answering is disabled.
