2. Dialling options
Dial Options
In this section the dialling options are programmed. These must comply with the requirements of the PSTN.
2.1. Select PULSE or DTMF dialling
Dialling DTMF/PULSE
Select pulse dialling or tone dialling (DTMF).
2.2. Programming the dialling tone by country
Dial tone type
If you accept this option a country code such as ‘IRL’ or ‘UK’ will be displayed. This code was set
automatically when you selected from the available countries in ‘Dialler Default’. Normally the displayed
dial tone will therefore be correct for your country.
Selecting a different dial tone country other than the country in which the dialler is installed can give
unpredictable results.
2.3. Wait for dial tone
WaitDialTone No
This is used to determine whether the dialler must wait for the dialling tone when starting a report or
up/download. Under PSTN regulations you are obliged to wait for the dialling tone before the number
can be dialled. A wait may not be programmed between the area code and the subscriber number as
this dialling tone was abolished in 1994.
2.4. Pause between the 1st and 2nd attempt
Call Interval: 60
The waiting period between two dialling attempts can be programmed for either 5 seconds or 1 minute.
BABT requirements in the UK specify a minimum of 60 seconds.
2.5. Retry pause following 10 unsuccessful attempts
Retry Period 120
There can be 10 attempts (dual reporting only per telephone number) to establish contact with the
central station. If this fails, the dialler will wait for the programmed retry period (Minutes) and then retry
another 10 attempts. This will occur 10 times before the dialler stops retrying. If only 10 attempts are
required, programme this for ‘000’. Any new alarm activation will cause the dialler to try again.
2.6. Number of attempts before ‘No carrier’ fault
Calls for FTC
This is used to determine the number of dialling attempts to a telephone number before an FTC (‘Fail
to Communicate’) is generated. The value entered here stands for the number of times the dialler
must make the attempts before an error message is generated. The dialler will always make one
attempt more than what the facility was set for. The maximum number of attempts that can be entered
is 15. If you want to allow 5 attempts for each of two programmed telephone numbers before the error
message appears, enter 10.
