Picture Perfect 4.6
User Manual
Overview
After your installer completes the initial hardware and software installation, you use forms to
configure your Picture Perfect system according to your specific requirements. Some of the forms
contain default information that you can change as required.
The forms are presented in the recommended order in Configuration steps on page 30.
Configuring modems
Use the Modems form to describe each modem type that you intend to use for dial-up
communications. Modem types that you define using the Modems form appear in a list box for
assignment to a micro (on the Micros form) and a port (on the Ports form). A micro can dial up the
host on any available port that is compatible, meaning the modem type matches. Only compatible
modem types can establish a connection.
The DirecDoor, PXNPlus, and Micro/5-PX support 9600 baud only.
A dial-up micro uses standard modem communication and standard telephone lines to dial up and
respond to the host. Each dial-up micro has a dedicated phone line and a modem for communication
with the host. The modem connects via RS-232 cable at the micro's host port (RS-232 serial port).
The host has a list of user-definable phone numbers available for calling any dial-up micro in the
system; likewise, all dial-up micros have a list of user-definable phone numbers available for dialing
the host.
You can configure modems without having to restart the Picture Perfect system. Refer to your
modem manual when filling out the fields on the Modems form.
