Modem Tag Return Values
Some values may overlap with Call Progress and Error Codes. Use care not to confuse the two.
The modem tag type associates a specific modem on a workstation with a physical phone line. A modem tag can have eight possible return values:
Modem Tag Value |
Description |
---|---|
0 |
Idle |
1 |
Modem calling (outgoing call in progress) |
2 |
Modem answering (incoming call in progress) |
3 |
General failure (modem failed) |
4 |
Server unavailable |
5 |
Workstation owning the modem is unavailable |
6 |
External failure |
7 |
Manually disabled |
The value of the modem tag can be used with other tags. For example, a modem tag could be selected as the tag to be monitored by an alarm tag. An alarm could be triggered if the value of the modem tag is 3 (modem failed), alerting the users to modem failure.
