LOCATION 49 Number of Rings to Answer (default = 15)
This location determines the number of rings before the panel “answers" the telephone line. In the
event that the panel answers the call and no valid download logon sequence, or DTMF signal, is received within
40 seconds, the panel will terminate the call and hang up the line.
[INSTALLER CODE] [*] [4] [9] [*] [NUMBER OF RINGS TO ANSWER] [*]
The valid data range is: 1 - 15.
Phone Numbers
NOTES ON SINGLE REPORTING:
Single reporting works by dialling the first programmed number within the chosen telephone module. If there
is no answer, the second phone number will be dialled. If the second telephone number picks up the call, then
the reporting is considered successful.
If the second phone number does not pick up, then it will dial the first number again. It will alternate between
the phone numbers, until one is successful, up to the number of dial attempts programmed into location 47.
If a phone number has no value programmed into it, it implies that it is disabled.
NOTES ON DUAL REPORTING:
By enabling dual reporting it is possible to select a different format for each reporting medium. In this instance,
all data will be transmitted to each phone number (i.e. reported twice) using the format specified for that
particular number. Both numbers need to be programmed for dual reporting to work.
If the dual reporting feature is enabled, an event must be communicated to both telephone numbers before
the event is considered reported. This feature cannot be used with the join phone numbers option. (See
location 46).
If dual reporting is enabled the dual reporting output will be set when the panel dials the second phone
number, and cleared when it hangs up at the end of transmission. This output follows the hook relay. It may be
used to trigger switching from the telephone line to a radio transmitter.
NOTES ON HOW TO PROGRAM A PHONE NUMBER:
Enter numbers consecutively with no other key presses between each digit.
Inserting pauses
A pause may be inserted at any point within the telephone number: Entering a value of [MODE] [3] will provide
a 12-second pause, [MODE] [4] will provide an 8-second pause and a value of [MODE] [5] will provide a 4-
second pause.
To dial a “*” enter [MODE] [1]
To dial a “#” enter [MODE] [2]
For a “12-second pause” enter [MODE] [3] (On the LCD keypad it will be displayed as a “+”)
For a “8-second pause” enter [MODE] [4] (On the LCD keypad it will be displayed as a “=”)
For a “4-second pause” enter [MODE] [5] (On the LCD keypad it will be displayed as a “-“)
[MODE] [0] will clear the phone number, anything entered into this location after that will NOT be registered.
EXAMPLE:
Phone number 1 is to be dialled as follows:
[0] followed by a 4-second pause then [0317051373]. The key sequences are as follows per Table 22.
