Page 2-94 Section 2: Programming the CP-220A CP-220A Central Station Receiver
COMPUT FAIL / MAN ON MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS
Background:
When used with an Automation System, the CP-220A is almost always
operated in its AUTOMATIC mode, in which it neither stores nor displays
its incoming messages, but simply decodes and delivers to them to the
Automation System (and to a printer, if connected). Thus, in the
AUTOMATIC mode, no operator intervention is required.
NOTE: The CP-220A's AUTOMATIC and MANUAL modes are discussed
in greater detail on page 2-103 and in PARAMETER 40, on page 2-
39.
Were the computer to fail in the above scenario, only the printer, if connected,
will be able to record subscriber messages. To provide for greater Central
Station security, PARAMETER 39 is used to instruct the CP-220A as to
whether it should leave the AUTOMATIC mode and enter the MANUAL mode
in the event that the Automation System were to experience a failure.
Programming Procedures:
After entering PARAMETER 39, [COMPUT FAIL / MAN ON] (meaning "if
the computer fails, go to the MANUAL mode") will be displayed; the [ON]
after [MAN] will be flashing.
Press the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key to toggle between
[COMPUT FAIL/MAN ON] and [COMPUT FAIL/MAN OFF], which would
keep the CP-220A in its AUTOMATIC mode (presuming the use of a printer
to record the messages) even though the computer failed.
NOTE: The selections made in PARAMETERS 21, 22, 38, and46 each
have a bearing on the operation of PARAMETER 39. If
PARAMETER 39 will be programmed [ON], be sure that each of
these other parameters has been programmed [ON], as well.
Default:
PARAMETER 39 is defaulted to [COMPUT FAIL/MAN ON].
Advancing to Next Parameter:
The next parameter in Category C is PARAMETER 45. Because it is not
sequential, it cannot be reached with a single press of the
advance to PARAMETER 45, press the N key.
The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER
NUMBER 39]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the
next parameter number.
You can reach PARAMETER 45 by pressing the 4 key and the 5 key.
