Chapter 7: Auto-Answer and Polling

Chapter 7: Polling Mode & Auto Answer Mode

Polling mode and Auto Answer mode allow your PC to communi-

cate automatically with multiple CPP Monitor 2000s. Polling is the

process of calling units to retrieve the Data Log or Event Log (see

“Datalogging,” “Event Logger,” and “Polling” sections in Chapter

Four). Auto Answer mode let’s your PC receive alarm calls when

the destination type is set to modem. In order to receive alarm calls

or have the software perform polling you must have the program

running and have one or both modes enabled. When the software

receives an alarm message it will display it on your screen immedi-

ately as well as update the Event Log for that particular unit. When

using these features, your computer and modem must remain ON

continuously.

Enabling Auto Answer Mode

You can enable Auto Answer mode by selecting Functions>Auto

Answer from the menu bar or by clicking on the Answer Mode icon

in the Toolbar.

Note that Auto Answer mode can only be enabled if you are not

connected with a unit. Once you’re connected, it becomes grayed

out.

Enabling Polling Mode

To enable Polling mode, click on the Polling Mode icon on the

Toolbar or select Polling>Enable from the menu bar. This is the

global polling-enable control. In addition, each unit must have

Polling enabled (see Chapter Four for specific Polling Settings).
