Modem Row Edit: Main tab

Name

Select (...) and select the name of the modem record from the Select dialog box.

Description

Enter a description of the record. The Description can be up to 47 characters in length. This field is for information purposes only and can be used to describe the record, its association with other points, or any other textual information. The Name and Description configured for a record appear in the summary tables in easy eXtended Operator Station (ezXOS).

Dataset

Select (...) and select the name of the dataset you want to associate with this record from the Dataset Select dialog box.

A dataset contains privileges assigned for each system and mode. Once a record is assigned to a data set value, the dataset can only be changed to a value for which the system has a privilege record. A record’s dataset can not be changed in such a way that the system can no longer access the record.

Message

Select (...) and select the message associated with the record from the Select dialog box.

A modem message set is not used to represent the various modem states (for example, connected). This message set is only used to represent enabled or disabled modems and associated modem alarms.

Enable Cryout Modem

Select if this modem is used for cryout.

The selection affects the options available in the Connect tab in the Modem Row Edit dialog box. If Enable Cryout Modem is not selected, the Telno option is removed from the Format dropdown menu. The entries should all be either Command or Baud.
