Description
Type
Set the dialer type to one of the following values.
Dual line: Uses LINE 1 and LINE 2 to transmit events to the central station
receiver and performs modem functions. In this mode, the dialer supervises and
reports faults on both lines.
Single line: Uses LINE 1 only to transmit events to the central station receiver
and performs modem functions. In this mode, the dialer supervises and reports
faults only on LINE 1.
Modem only: Dialer provides interface for outbound communications and the
ability for dial-in programming and status and report retrieval. If Modem Only is
selected, only Rings to Answer, Ring Type, and Callback Number can be
programmed. No other dialer options are displayed in the menu. The modem
function only works with LINE 1. In this mode, neither line is supervised.
None: No dialer is installed or if a dialer is installed, disables the dialer.
