Modem Bank Used for Cryout

Select to use the modem bank for dial-in modems (cryout). Selecting this option disables the # Reserved For Commands field.

Clear the checkbox to use the modem bank for dial-out modems (normal connections and commands).

The mbank message set indicates the state of the modem bank (for example, LOW MODEMS, NO MODEMS, NORMAL).

# Reserved for Commands

Enter the number of modems that are reserved for Controller commands.

If one of these reserved modems is in use, the next available modem in the modem bank is reserved for commands. This allows Omnicomm to keep a specified number of modems free to accept Controller commands (such as digital and setpoint commands). This option is not available with cryout.

Controller commands are accorded the highest priority. For more information, refer to Remconnjoin table.
