This feature places ElkRP in auto-answer unattended mode. The operator may place ElkRP in this mode and leave it unattended. This is useful for a one-man operation. The operator may create a new account in ElkRP, program it, and save it. He may then put ElkRP in this mode, go to the job site, cause the system to dial ElkRP and automatically send the entire new account to the system.
While in this mode, ElkRP logs all incoming calls and downloads to the screen and to its log file so that the operator may verify what was done upon his return.
To place ElkRP in the auto-answer and send mode, select Auto-answer and Send on the Connection menu. ElkRP will wait indefinitely for the incoming call. The installer at the job site must cause the system to dial ElkRP’s number. Refer to the system’s manual for instructions on how to do this.
When the call comes in, ElkRP will answer on the first ring. It will look up the account in the accounts database based on the serial number of the calling system. If it finds the account, ElkRP will open it, send all, and then disconnect. If the account is not found, ElkRP will disconnect and log the error.
