Chapter 2: Overview

The Teltone

®

SLSS has been designed to consolidate telephone lines at electrical

utility substations. It enables utilities having only one telephone line or those

using multiple telephone lines for data transfers to save costs through line

sharing. The SLSS also increases line efficiency by allowing devices, such as

telephones, modems connected to fault locating relays, meters, etc., and fax

machines to share a phone line in a substation. It can work with a Teltone Polling

Controllerasasystem(U.S.Patent No. 5,241,587)oritcanoperateasa standalone

unit to give you a flexible, cost-effective way to eliminate extra substation

telephone lines and route calls.

Figure 1illustratesa typicalapplication, inwhicha singletelephoneline isshared

by four devices.ThePolling Controller isadded to your existing hardware at the

data retrieval location.

The SLSS offers many benefits, some of which include its ability to:

• Share a single substation telephone line between up to eight devices.

• Eliminate expensive telephone line installation and monthly charges for

briefly used modem lines.

• Ensure correct call routing by using a Polling Controller.

• Enhance worker safety by giving priority to telephone users.

• Hide substation modems from unauthorized access.

• Obtain high reliability and availability with a unit providing C37.90 SWC

protection to attached devices and powered from 42-150 VDC batteries

(“A” and “B” models only) or 90-150VAC (“D” model only) or 90-220VAC

(“E” model only).

Install Polling Controller (optional)

If you are using the SLSS with the Polling Controller, follow these steps. These

instructions are repeated in the Polling Controller Reference Manual,

40-400-00013.ThesestepsrequireapersonatboththePollingControllerandSLSS

locations.

❑ Plug the incoming Central Office telephone line into the Telco Line port on

the back panel of the Polling Controller. (The incoming line comes from the

telephone RJ-11/wall jack.)

❑ Connect another standard modular telephone cord from the modem to the

Modem port on the back of the Polling Controller. (The cords are available

as an ordering option.)

❑ Connect a standard RS-232 cable from the modem to the computer (PC,

mainframe, or workstation) used to control polling.

❑ Connect the PS-24DC-01 power transformer cord to the jack labeled: Class

2 Input Power Pack, on the rear of the Polling Controller. Plug the power

transformer into a 120 VAC outlet.

❑ If you are using multiple Polling Controllers, see the Installing Multiple

Units in Carrier instructions in the Polling Controller Reference Manual

(40-400-00013).

❑ The power LED on the back panel should be flashing. If not, check that the

power is securely connected. (If the LED does not light, check the power

connection and fuse. If the LED is on bright, but does not flash, see the

Troubleshooting instructions in the appendix.)

❑ Place a call to the telephone connected to Port 1 on the SLSS. The call

should be answered by the SLSS on the first ring and the Port 1 telephone

should ring after four seconds. Answer the phone, then hang up.

❑ The system is ready to go to work. To call one of the ports on the SLSS, dial

the SLSS telephone number and add a routing code to the end.

❑ Test that calls are routed properly by plugging a device into Port 3 on the

SLSS, then call the SLSS and enter the routing code for Port 3. Check that

Port 3 rings and that the LED flashes on and off.

❑ Forexample:CallPort3ontheSLSSbydialing1-206-555-1212∗03fromaphone

plugged into the Polling Controller.

❑ Routing codes ∗01-∗08 sends calls to Ports 1-8 as follows: ∗01 routes calls to

Port 1, ∗02 to Port 2, and ∗03 to Port 3, etc.

❑ (Optional.) If you will not be using the default settings, see Programming

Tips in Chapter 4. To program the Polling Controller, refer to the Polling

Controller Reference Manual (40-400-00013).

Setup Standalone Operation

Follow the steps below to setup the SLSS to work without a Polling Controller.

Note:

Remember that if the SLSS will ever work with a Polling Controller,

the Polling Controller must be re-programmed with transfer codes which

match those of the SLSS.

❑ Disconnect the incoming CO line from the SLSS.

❑ Connect a DTMF telephone to Port 2 of the SLSS.

❑ Pick up the phone and enter # # within 15 seconds.

❑ When you hear the three-beep confirmation tone, enter ∗00#∗02# to

activate the Standalone defaults. Listen for the three-beep confirmation.

❑ Hang up the telephone and reconnect the incoming CO line to the SLSS.

❑ The power LED on the front panel should be flashing. If it is not, check that

the power is securely connected. (If the LED does not light, check the

power connection and fuse. If the LED is on bright, but does not flash, call

Technical Support.)

❑ Call the telephone connected to Port 1. The call should be answered by the

SLSS on the first ring and the Port 1 telephone should ring after four

seconds.

❑ Answer the phone, then hang up.

❑ Now you can call a port on the SLSS by adding the Standalone transfer

codes to the end of the SLSS phone number. (Standalone transfer codes

11-88 access Ports 1-8 as follows: 11 accesses Port 1, 22 accesses Port 2, and

33 accesses Port 3, etc.) See Chapter 4: Changing Transfer Codes to program

new codes.

❑ For example, to call Port 2, dial the SLSS number. Enter 22 after the first ring

(within 4 seconds).

-or-

❑ If you will not be using the Standalone Defaults, review the Programming

Tips in Chapter 4 and follow the Standalone SLSS Programming, also in

Chapter 4.

❑ (Optional) To call through a modem, remember to give the receiving

modem time to answer by adding pause time (,,,,) between the SLSS

telephone number and the transfer code.

If the modem does not answer properly, add or remove commas. If the call

defaults to Port 1, the pause is too long and you should remove one or

more commas. When adding or removing commas, do so one at a time.

Reference Manual Chapter 3: Installation

40-400-00031, Rev. A Page 9

The number of commas you will add depends on the time required for the

network to process your call and for the SLSS to answer the call.

❑ For example, to send a call to Port 3, dial: 1-206-555-1212,,,,33

Note:

The guesswork involved in determining the correct number of pauses

is why many users decide to use the Teltone Polling Controller.

❑ (Optional.) Continue to Chapter 4: Programming to review the Programming

Tips before following the Setup for Local, Remote or Standalone

Programming instructions.

Chapter 4: Programming

Programming Tips

You can adjust or program many of features in the SLSS. All of the options and

commands are listed in Table 2, later in this chapter. The SLSS is programmed

using a touchtone telephone, either locally, without disconnecting the CO Line,

or remotely from the Polling Controller.

Passwords

Always enter # after entering a password. If an invalid password is entered, you

will not hear three beeps and should hang up and wait for 30 seconds before

trying again. If three consecutive invalid attempts are made, the SLSS will lock out all

further access for 1 hour. (M-395-B, D, E models only: If secure relay access is

enabled, the SLSS will allow 5 consecutive invalid attempts.)

Note:

The password used to access the Auxiliary Relay must be different from

this password.

Remote Programming

Remote Programming must be enabled through Local Programming before you

can access the SLSS remotely. When you have finished programming remotely,

exit by hanging up the telephone. You cannot disable the Remote Programming

feature while in Remote Programming.

ConfirmationTone

When a command has been entered successfully, you will hear a three-beep

confirmation tone after entering the last #.

ErrorTone

When a command has been entered incorrectly, you will hear a single-beep error

tone after entering the last #.

Enable/Disable

With functions that are either enabled or disabled, such as fax routing, an entry

of 0 in the data field disables a feature; 1 enables it.

Cancel Command

To cancel the entirecommand, enter ∗in a command field. To cancel a command,

back to, but excluding the #, enter ∗ in a data field. To abort the entire command,

enter ∗∗ in a data field. If no data is entered in a field, that field is either cleared

or set to zero.

Reference Manual Chapter 4: Programming

40-400-00031, Rev. A Page 11

Transfer Codes

When assigning transfer codes for remote programming or for ports (commands

∗07#n#x# and ∗12#y#n#x#), follow these rules:

• Transfer codes must have the same number of digits, be no more than four digits

long, be unique (i.e., all codes must be different), and can use any of the 16 DTMF

digits.

• If you do not use the defaults, all codes must be programmed in both the

SLSS and Polling Controller.

Entering Programming Commands

You can enter the commands in any order. If you will not use a particular feature,

skip to the next and continue programming.

Threebeeps tellyou thattheSLSS received thecommand.One longtone tellsyou

that the command was incorrect and must be entered again. If you make a

mistake, simply re-enter the command correctly.

To enter a command, replace “n,” “x,” and “y” with the desired values.

❑ For example, to change the number of rings before disconnect from 12 to 10,

enter

∗01#10#.

❑ For example, to change the password to 1234, enter ∗03#1234#1234#.

❑ For example, to change the Port 2 transfer code to 8802, enter *12#2#4#8802#

Setup for Remote Programming with a Polling Controller

Note:

Programming may be interrupted if you have enabled Total or

Emergency Priority. If one of these priority modes is enabled, Port 1 will be

able to interrupt programming.

The SLSS will exit programming mode and disconnect if 60 seconds elapse

without entry of any digits.

The factory default for Remote Programming is enabled. If you have disabled

Remote Programming, it must be enabled before you can program.

You can access the SLSS for programming from the Polling Controller using a

special transfer code. You must enter a password after entering the Remote

Programming Transfer Code. The transfer code instructs the SLSS to answer

without ringing any of the device ports. Proceed as follows:

❑ Disconnect the Polling Controller from the host modem.

❑ Plug a DTMF telephone into the Modem port on the Polling Controller.
