Fax defeat is useful for downloading when a fax or answering machine is connected to the same phone line
as the Alarm Panel. If this feature is enabled, dial the panel and hang up before three rings. Dial the panel
again within one minute. The panel will then pick up the call on the first ring thereby preventing the fax /
answering machine from answering the call before the alarm.
If forced answer is enabled the [8] key may be used to force the panel to pick up, “answering the line”.
If Auto Pickup is enabled it will pick up the line after the number of rings programmed into location 49
The Call-back feature, when enabled, allows the download software/ to request that the panel call it back
using the phone number as programmed into location 50.
