To add a dial-up micro record:
1. Select Configuration, Micros, and then Micro tab.
2. Refer to Creating, editing, deleting, and printing records on page 36.
3. Complete the Micros form with special attention to the items below. The following fields must
be set to the given value.
• Specify None for port assignment (primary and secondary), since dial-up micros call the
host on any available port that is compatible (same modem type).
• Select the modem type of the host’s modem.
4. Complete the remainder of the Dial Up portion of the screen.
To add a network micro record:
1. Select Configuration, Micros, and then Micro tab.
2. Refer to Creating, editing, deleting, and printing records on page 36.
3. Complete the Micros form with special attention to the items below. The following fields must

To add a network dial-up micro record:
1. Select Configuration, Micros, and then Micro tab.
2. Refer to Creating, editing, deleting, and printing records on page 36.
3. Complete the Micros form with special attention to the items below. The following fields must
be set to the given value.
• For the primary port, you must select a network micro port.
• For the secondary port, you must select None.
CAUTION: If the micro is configured as Network Dialup, the polling interval is interpreted differently based on
the current communications channel open to the micro. If using the primary channel (network), the polling interval
is interpreted as-is. If, however, the secondary channel (dialup) is being used, the polling interval is shifted,
seconds are interpreted as minutes, minutes as hours, and hours as days. One side effect of this is that secondary
channel communication failures are reported at the “shifted” interval.
Example: A network dialup micro is configured with a polling interval of 30 seconds. The polling interval is actually
30 minutes when running on the secondary channel and communication failures are only detectable every 30
minutes.
• Select the modem type of the host’s modem.
4. Complete the remainder of the Dial Up screen.
