Micro
Seven model ST10-2, Automatic Telephone Line Tester, provides automatic testing
of maximum twenty telephone lines by dialing each line for testing whether call
to the line is answered or not. Test failure is indicated on ERROR LED and
warning sound is generated at internal speaker. Failed line is reported to
serial interface in PC. PC-assisted testing mode displays test result and a
text file is generated as a disk file. Telephone numbers are stored in
non-volatile memory in ST10-2, and test will start by itself when there is
power failure. Internal audio monitor is provided to hear the test. The standard
accessories of ST10-2include AC/DC adapter, serial port cable, control
software, and operator’s manual. A carrying case, car-batttery adapter, or 230V
AC/DC adapter is extra. The control software for programming ST10-2 and
PC-assisted test is provided as a standard accessory.

ASCII commands without using provided control software:
Telephone
number entry: W44 (n1) (n2) for setting up line number, then enter
D<telephone number-maximum fifteen digits><CR> to program a
telephone number.
for example W4400<CR>D5035551212<CR> for dialing 5035551212 for
line 1. Note <CR> is a carriage return. It is stored in EEROM
(non-volatile memory) in AP15.
Polling
interval entry: M(n1) (n2) (data)<CR>
Continuous/Single polling mode
Alarm message entry: S<fifteen digit long alarm
message><CR>
i.e. S123418313101015<CR>
Note: ST10-2 prepares check sums, so do not enter sixteen digits. When sixteen
digit-long alarm message including check sum is entered, checksum, which is
prepared by ST10-2, will become a wrong one. It is stored in EEROM
(non-volatile memory).
Start alarm
reporting: G
Start
alarm reporting process by dialing the telephone number, receive handshake
tones, transmit alarm messages, receive kiss-off tones and hang up the line. A
carriage return is not needed.
