Quick Reference to Configuring Specific Features

Use this quick reference to help you adjust the driver configuration settings for your particular requirements. The features are only available if supported by the type of driver, channel, set, outstation, or point.

What do you want to do?

Retrieve data from an individual PSTN outstation at a more frequent rate

Enable the Promote Dial Out feature on the Outstation Form (see Define an Outstation’s PSTN Properties), and use the Promote Dial Out pick action.

Once set up, you can specify the required type in the Connection Type window on the appropriate Channel Form (see Defining PSTN Settings for a Channel) and Outstation Form (see Define an Outstation’s PSTN Properties).
