such as paging terminals. The #, or pound digit, has no special meaning and is dialed as a pound.
When calling a paging terminal or someone who cannot acknowledge the call from their phone, it may be useful to
wait before starting the next telephone call. This allows the called party to get to a phone and call the B1290 to
acknowledge it before it calls out again. To do this, put a Wait command with the required delay on the next
directory line and then a Dial command on the following line.
To send a group call with 2 Tone Paging, set tone A equal to tone B.
Do not use the Answer command immediately following a Dial command in the directories when Call Progress is
enabled. This is the equivalent of two Answer commands and may result in unreliable operation.
DTMF Codes
The B1290 is capable of decoding, storing, and transmitting all DTMF codes, including codes received from a 4x4
keypad. Enter to clear a DTMF Code.
B1290: "Enter DTMF Code"
YOU: Acknowledge Code
Access Code
Relay On/Off Codes
Alarm On/Off Codes
Remote Alarm Input Codes
Interrogate Code
Directory Control Code
Exit to Enter Program Code prompt
Acknowledge Code
The Acknowledge Code is sent by the called party to indicate that the alarm message has been received. This stops
the calling sequence of the B1290.
B1290: "Acknowledge Code is ... "
YOU: ; ( x = 1 to 8 DTMF digits )
Default: 1234
Access Code
The Access Code is used as a password to prevent unauthorized callers from altering the programming of the B1290.
If an Access Code has been programmed, it must be entered before a telephone caller will receive the Enter
Program Code prompt. The Access Code is not required for local programming.
B1290: "Access Code is ... "
YOU: ; ( x = 1 to 8 DTMF digits, # = clear )
Default: empty
Relay On/Off Input Codes
The relay codes allow users to perform remote control functions at the unattended site. Callers can operate relays on
the B1290 by sending DTMF codes from their telephone or radio keypads. Each relay has one code to turn it on and
a separate code to turn it off. When a relay is operated, the B1290 speaks a voice message associated with that relay
followed by the word “On” or “Off” (see Program Code 1 - Record Relay Voices).
B1290: "Relay One On Code is ... "
"Off Code is ... "
