Page 72
The various settings are explained below.
(6)
- (1) Minimum reporting period (mins.) (Default = 10 min.)
Set a period between 0 and 60 minutes in 1-minute increments as the error reporting interval.
Errors that occur during this period are all reported together when the end of the specifie d period is
reached.
After the errors are reported, the next notification occurs at the end of the next reporting period.
If no errors occur during this period, none are reported.
Counting of the reporting period begins when the setting is specified.
If the MN Converter is reset due to an event such as a change to the error notification setting, the
counting for the minimum reporting period is also reset and errors are reported as soon as the
countdown restarts.
Error A occurred
Minimum reporting period
NOTE:
The maximum number of errors that the MN Converter can store during the minimum reporting
period is 50.
Once the limit of 50 errors is exceeded, the oldest entries in the log are deleted.
When more than 50 errors occur, only the number of excess errors is reported.
- (2) Call duration (secs.)
Set a period between 30 and 99 seconds in 1-second increments as the time for which the MN
Converter continues dialing a contact telephone number once it has started the notification process.
If the contact telephone does not answer before this period expires, dialing is cancelle d and notification
fails. This function prevents long periods of continuous dialing.
NOTE:
Some modem models have a similar function. If this is the case and the modem's continuous
dialing period is shorter than the Maintenance Tool setting, dialing stops after the period set on the
modem.

- (3) Redial interval (secs.) (Default = 30 sec.)
If the MN Converter dials a notification contact but the contact telephone does not answer, the
converter redials the number for the number of times specified in "(4) Number of redials" below.
In this setting, specify a period between 30 and 99 seconds in 1-second increments as the interval
between redials.
- (4) Number of redials (times) (Default = 3 times)
Set a number between 0 and 10 as the number of redials when the MN Converter dials a notification
contact but the contact telephone does not answer.
If you set this number to 0, the converter does not redial the number.
- (5) Redial again (Default = Not selected)
If you tick this option, when the MN Converter redials a number for the number of times specified in
"(4) Number of redials" and there is still no reply, the converter again attempts to report the same
notification data after the period specified in "(1) Minimum reporting period" has p a ssed.
It repeats this process until notification succeeds.
If this option is not ticked and redialing fails to establish contact, the result is stored in the error report
log as a failure and that notification process ends. If this option is ticked, the result is not logged as a
failure and notification is retried.
- (6) Server/Tool (Default = Server)
Choose whether the software running on the remote monitoring PC connected to the notification
contact is the dedicated server software or another software tool.
Server ------------ The MN Converter waits until it receives a "REP" character string from the remote
monitoring PC in response to a notification.
If "REP" is received, the notification result is stored in the MN Converter's Report log
as a success.
If no response is received after a set time, the notification result is stored in the MN
Converter's Report log as a failure.
Tool ----------- Without waiting for a response from the remote monitoring PC, the MN Converter
stores the notification result in its Report log as a success when the notification fro m
the MN Converter is completed.
When a notification test is run, this setting is also used to identify the notification cont act and d etermine
whether notification was a success or a failure.
When "Server" is selected in "(6) Server/Tool" above, use this setting to specify a period between 10
and 60 seconds in 1-second increments as the time for which the MN Converter waits for a "REP"
response from the server .
When "Tool" is selected, this setting is disabled.
- (8) Number of the data retransmission (times ) (Default = 5 times)
When "Server" is selected in "(6) Server/Tool" above and no "REP" response is received from the
server in the time set in "(7) Response timeout" above, use this setting to specify a number between
0 and 10 as the number of times the MN Converter retries server notification.
If you set this number to 0, the MN Converter does not retry notification.
When "Tool" is selected, this setting is disabled.

1---------- Modem error
Unable to communicate with the modem. The MN Converter is not connected to the modem
or the modem is not turned on. Check the connection to the modem and that the modem is
turned on.
2---------- Remote error notification failed
A failed notification result is saved in the Report log stored on the MN Converter. [See
section 3.12.5.]
If the LED is displaying this pattern, check the Report log in the Maintenance Tools and
eliminate the cause of the failure.
When the Report log is displayed, the software recognizes that the log has been "checked
by a person" and resets the display pattern.
When it reaches the limit of 50 items stored in the Report log, and the oldest entries that
exceed the 50 limits are deleted. The display is reset when there are no failure results in the
Report log.
3---------- Redialing
The LED blinks in this pattern while the MN Converter is redialing after there is no answer
from a notification contact telephone.
4---------- Air-conditioner error
The LED blinks in this pattern when an error requiring notification has occurred in one of the
units being monitored for errors and the MN Converter is storing the error data. If an error
occurs in a unit that is not being monitored for errors, or if the error code is masked or does
not require notification, the LED does not blink. This display is reset when error no tification is
carried out.
