IG6000 User Manual (pdf file, opens new window)
The IG6000 provides a bullet-proof solution where harsh environments are encountered, or where the ultimate in reliability is required. Designed for unattended sites.
The IG6000 has voice message
storage in Flash memory, so it can dial out and deliver voice messages in
response to control line inputs.
The voice functions are different to the
"Voice" (answering machine) functions of most of the commercial modems
which do not have Flash message memory. See the section at the end of this page.

DC operation with low power mode (for use in unattended sites with
solar cell/battery power). Wake up to be in response to DTR, TXD, incoming ring
or external alarm switches.
Ability to run directly from 5V (build option).
Ability to alternatively run from a nominal 24V DC power source - input range
9 to 38V (build option)
Rugged
RS232 interface.Bit rate settable by software.
Build option:.TTL alternative
to RS232 levels.
2 external alarm switches can be conntected, via unused RS232
pins 12 and 13.
TTL levels apply, and each port is protected against transients
and unwanted signal levels.
Each port has a pull up resistor, so the modem
will recognise an external contact to ground.
Port speeds up to 232,400 bps
are supported.
2 LEDS, one showing
correct power to modem, other showing carrier detect (ie modem connected).
Build time speaker option (Piezo electric, low power).
PSTN, and 2 wire leased line with or without power are supported.
An earth wire and mounting hardware may be supplied to installation of extreme
transient protection.
This will enable connection to external ground of on-board
transient protection devices. (Note: This cannot be supplied as standard as it
contravenes Austel requirements, but may be allowed in certain environments).

This feature can be installed into an IG6000
by downloading a vocabulary
file to the modem to enable it to respond to DTMF
tones from a remote modem.
If this feature is enabled by using the #MEM
command:
AT#MEM1 Modem will answer in voice mode after S110 rings if DTR is
low
AT#MEM2 Modem will answer in voice mode after S110 rings regardless of
DTR
AT#MEM0 All voice features off
Dial the modem and wait for it to
answer.
After the number of rings specified by S110 (default 4) the modem
will answer the call and respond with "Leave a Message after the Beep".
If you key in a DTMF digit during the time this message is played, the message
will stop and you can complete entering the PIN number. The factory default PIN
number is 1234. This can be changed by using the new #PIN command.
AT#PINnn...nnn
where nn...nnn is the pin number. Up to 9 digits of PIN number can be specified
If you key in the correct PIN number the modem will say "OK" and
ask for a
command. You may key in 0 for a menu of available functions.
Functions Available using DTMF keys
1-20 Play back stored message 1
to 20
*1 Record a new welcome message to replace "Leave a Message
after the Beep" (Press # to finish)
*2 Record a new message (Press #
to finish)
*3 Playback the current welcome message
*4 Report number of
stored messages and the state of the alarm
switches (ON or OFF)
*5 Play
all messages
*6 Enable / disable answering machine record function
*9
Erase stored messages but retain the welcome message
*0 Erase all stored messages
including the welcome message
(return to factory default message)
## Hang
up
Messages 1 and 2 are used by the alarm switches. Other messages
can be
stored and used as a voice mail box which can be shared by a group
of people
who know the PIN number.
If no pin number is entered the user
can leave a message after the welcome
message beep.
+ To avoid recording
a lot of silence the messages can be terminated
with the # DTMF key.
About
8 minutes of voice storage in a maximum of 20 individual messages
is available.
How to Load the Voice Alarm Messages
If you
have not downloaded a vocabulary file use the following procedure:
1? Connect
the modem to a PC running a terminal program (like Hyperterm).
2? Type ATS119=0
to stop modem going to sleep.
3? Type AT#MINI and wait for EPROMs to erase.
The modem will beep when ready.
4? Type AT#MEM2 to put the modem into voice
answering mode.
5? Connect modem to phone line and using a touch tone phone
dial the modem.
The modem will answer with a brief message "Leave a
message after the beep!"
6? Record your message into the modem for Alarm
Condition #1, leaving 2 seconds
of silence after the beep before speaking.
7? Press the # button on the phone when your message is finished.
8? Hang
up the phone wait a few seconds.
9? Ring the modem again and record a second
message for Alarm #2
following steps 8 and 9. Your messages are now recorded.
10? Reconnect modem to a terminal program and type AT#MCD to display the
stored
messages. The duration of the 2 messages you have recorded should be visible.
11? If you wish the modem to answer calls in data mode type AT#MEM0&W in
a terminal program to turn off the voice answering function or AT#MEM1 if
you want the voice answering function only when DTR is low.
To redo the messages,
erase the EPROMs using AT#MINI and record the messages again.
Remote Voice Setting of Alarm Messages
If you have installed the vocabulary
file, use the procedure detailed in the
VOICE MESSAGING SYSTEM to enter the
modem PIN number then use DTMF command
*2 the record the first message then
enter *2 again to enter the second message.
You may playback the messages
immediately by keying DTMF 1 and DTMF
2 to verify that they sound OK.
Hang up by keying ##.
