Detail Programming Tone Functions Continued
You can assign a different tone control scheme to these functions. You must also remember
that the functions are processed in the order shown. This means that if you use the tone
zero "0" to Cycle Gate-1, then tone zero "0" can't be used for any function beyond that
point. This is actually rather useful because you can then define all other functions as
tone zero "0" and the program will never get to process those functions. This effectively
masks those functions that you want disabled. This did however create a minor issue that
was resolved by processing the "Forced Hangup" first.
Put simply: Define a tone for "Forced Hangup" such as the default seven "7" tone and use
it for every function you want disabled.
Why disable a function? Some folks have Caller ID and may see the source phone number of
the line the unit is attached to. They may call the unit. They may latch a gate open. So
put a Seven everywhere that you want a function disabled. A better option is to specify
that the line attached to the unit has "Caller Id Blocked" set active for that line on all
calls placed by the unit. That way the owners or managers may still call the unit, because
they know the private phone number, and latch or unlatch the gate, or do special functions
without the worry of having residents fooling around with their gate controls, etc.
As always, you must be in programming mode to issue programming commands.
Assign a Funtion to a Tone using command 9: (out going calls placed from the unit)
9ft Set function f (0 to 9) to tone t (0 to 9) for out going calls from unit.
Ie: 905 Sets function "0" (Cycle Gate-1 & Hangup) to Tone 5.
Assign a Funtion to a Tone using command 9#: (incoming calls answered by the unit)
9#ft Set function f (0 to 9) to tone t (0 to 9) for calls answered by the unit.
Ie: 9#05 Sets function "0" (Cycle Gate-1 & Hangup) to Tone 5.
Detail Programming Phone Numbers
See Programming Residences or Programming Phone lists for specific commands related to
programming those areas of the databases.
This page describes rules about the actual phone number sequences themselves.
They are always allowed to be a full 16 digits long.
Time delays may be embedded in a phone number sequence. Embedded "*" tones are not dialed
but rather force a 2.5 second delay when each is encountered in a phone number sequence.
For example the phone number sequence 9*5551212 may be used if "9" is required to obtain
an outside line for a PBX application.
Note: Secondary Dial tone is not tested for, in outside line requests and dial tone must
be present within 2.5 seconds after dialing the "9" else the dialing sequence will fail.
You may however include embedded extra "*" command delays as needed.
You may not embed a "#" tone in a phone number sequence as these are treated as a
termination control or end of phone number indicator.
Please contact Trigon if any issues arise because of this dated dialing technique.
