A DialLink Modem calls your processor via POTS (plain old telephone, non-VOIP) connection.

 

This can be configured as a backup plan when high speed internet goes down or slows down.

 

In many cases, when processor outages occur they are limited to internet problems and DialLink connections are not affected.

 

Installing Datacap DialLink modem (Required for Dial Operations)

 

Note: To use the dial capabilities of NETePay (either as backup or primary communications), a Datacap DialLink modem (not a DataTran) must be attached to an available COM port on the PC.

 

To install the Datacap DialLink modem for NETePay:

 

1. Connect the uDIN8 connector of the interface cable to the Datacap DialLink modem PC/ECR port.

2. Connect the DB9 end of the interface cable to the intended COM port on the PC.

3. Connect one end of the RJ11 cable to the TELCO connector on the Datacap DialLink modem.

4. Connect the other end of the RJ11 cable to a working phone line jack. No other devices should be connected to this phone line and plain old telephone service (POTS) line is best

5. Connect the transformer to the POWER connector on the Datacap DialLink modem.

6. Plug the transformer into a suitable 110VAC outlet. It is strongly recommended that a surge protector be used with the Datacap DialLink modem.

 

 

If your computer does not have a COM (serial) port you can buy a "DB9 serial to USB adapter" at most local computer stores.
