Phone Code
Phone access to the security system is obtained by entering an installer-
programmed 2-digit phone code, which can be any number from 1 through 9
followed by a
✴
or #.
Setting the Phone Code
After the control panel has been programmed for the 4286 VIP Module
(phone code, device programming), and the unit has been properly wired to
the control panel and phone line, the phone code must be set in the 4286 VIP
by activating the module. The phone code will be automatically set the first
time the module is used to obtain status from a premise phone. The control
panel must be out of the programming or test mode, with the dialer not active
and no commands entered at the system keypad(s).
To set the phone code in the module, pick up a handset on a premise phone
that has s been properly wired to the 4286 VIP Module and dial in the phone
code that was programmed in the control panel. If the code is accepted, a sys-
tem status report will be obtained and heard on the premise phone. The code
has been properly set if this occurs.
