Excalibur Multirate DAP Installation and Operation
5-42
Switch to Dial
This parameter specifies whether the DTR signal must be present for the DAP to switch
communication to the dial backup telephone line.
Automatic Disconnect
This parameter specifies the conditions that cause the DAP to automatically disconnect a
dial backup connection. You can select from the following options:
• No DTR - the DAP disconnects the call after the dial backup port's DTR signal
goes Off.
• None - the DAP disconnects the call when the DCD signal goes Off for longer
than 5 seconds.
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.
Line Test Interval
This parameter specifies the duration of the dedicated line test. The possible settings are
5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes.
