6.3 Programming DACT
With the DACT facility, the control unit can use one or two telephone lines, or a single Ethernet connection, to call a supervising station
(remote station or central station) and report a local alarm, trouble, or supervisory condition.
You can disconnect DACT by setting the DIP switch SW4-3 to On state. Configure the following settings through the PC tool only. Refer to
the PC programming manual for more details.
• Setting Primary Phone Number
• Setting Primary Account Number

• Setting Secondary Account Number
• Test Report Time:
This option specifies the time at which the Test Report Event is sent to the supervising station. Time is set in 24 hour, military format.
For system software revision 01.00 and later, the test report message is sent at 6 hour intervals, beginning at the time entered. The
time is set by the PC tool.
• AC Fail Delay
• IP Communicator

6.4 Programming system options
The programming system options can be either of the following:
• Pre-defined modes of operation with a range of settings to choose. These type of system options define global operations such as the
time and date format and door drop timers, for example.
• Options you can use to enable or disable a specific hardware module, such as the city circuit.
To edit system options, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the control unit.
2. Open the control unit door to access the DIP switches on the system board.
3. Use DIP switches SW2, SW3 and SW4 to configure different system options.
