8.4.2.3 Listen-in Indicator
If message sent to the automation computer contains a <$2A> (Listen-In indicator) followed the 3-ASCII
digits, the control panel calling is requesting the receiver put the phone line into listen-in mode.
The MX8000 receiver uses the following standards to identify a listen-in account:
• First, the receiver searches for an embedded listen-in event in the panel data, depending on whether or
not the reporting format supports listen-in.
• Second, the receiver compares the account number to those stored in the “listen-in accounts” list. See
Section 5.5.2.4.
• Third, the receiver scans the line card flash record to determine if the listen-in is enabled for the line
card.
• Fourth, if the above standards have been satisfied, the receiver sends the automation computer the
listen-in indicator.
