monitors memory is regularly cleared while preserving battery power. It is more efficient to
have the unit call in only once or twice a day to download date rather than several times a day
when an Event occurs.
Note: The “Monitor while calling home” function above does not work with scheduled
downloads. Be sure to schedule your downloads for times when Events are unlikely to occur,
to minimize the risk that an Event will be missed.
To enable downloads at specific times, click on the At Specified Times checkbox to display a
checkmark. Then enter the time information in 24-hour format.
The unit will only call when it is in Monitor Mode. If the unit is set to call home when it is in
Sleep Mode because the timer was set, it will not call home at that time.
(2) Enable Auto Call Home
Click on the checkbox to Enable Auto Call Home on the monitor currently connected to your PC.
The unit must have the Auto Call Home settings configured.
(3) Dial String
Enter the dial string for the remote modem you intend to use with the monitor. The dial string
must include the phone number for the telephone line to which your PC modem is connected.
Your modem type may use a different dial string. Consult the documentation that came with your
modem.
To change the string, click on the text box and enter the dial string. To insert a comma in the dial
string without causing a 1 second pause, place the characters “\,” (backslash comma) into the
string.
Note: The dial string for radio modems is RADIO RING.
(4) Auto Answer: On
Enter the text string the monitor sends to the modem to turn Auto Answer mode on when the
modem is in data mode. The default text string has been tested on various modems from different
manufacturers, and found to work adequately. However, you may wish to change the string to
improve performance. Consult the documentation that came with your modem.
To change the string, click on the text box and enter the text string.
Note: The Auto Answer: On string for radio modems should be blank.
(5) Auto Answer: Off
Enter the text string the monitor sends to the modem to turn Auto Answer mode off. The default
text string has been tested on various modems from different manufacturers, and found to work
adequately. However, you may wish to change the string to improve performance. Consult the
documentation that came with your modem.
To change the string, click on the text box and enter the text string.
Note: The Auto Answer: Off string for radio modems should be blank.
(6) Modem Power Controlled by Relay or Remote Alarm
This setting enables you to conserve modem power for longer operation. The Blastmate III,
Minimate Plus and Series IV units automatically toggles a pin on the auxiliary port that can be
used to power the modem on or off as needed. The Warm Up Time is to allow the modem to
initialize. Please contact Instantel for advice on relay settings necessary to use this function.
Warning: The alarm cannot be used if this feature is enabled.
(7) Communication Timeouts
This area contains information on the modem communication setup. You cannot change any of
these settings. Number of Retries indicates the number of retries the monitor will make to call in if
the line is busy on the first attempt. Time Between Retries is the time in seconds between these
attempts. Wait for Connection is the time the monitor waits for instructions from the PC after its
call has been answered; if no instructions are received within this time, the monitor terminates the
