TESTING FIRE PANEL.
TESTING VOICE LINES.
1.
Phone 1-8 indicators (for each port in use) should be either solid green (On-
Hook) or flashing
green (Off-Hook/Busy). Call your Installation Support Team if LED indicators for the FXS ports in
use are not lit. Once the lights above
have been verified, use a butt set (or an analog test phone
if your model butt set doesn't have an RJ-11 modular connection) to place a test call from the
phone 1 jack to your cell phone if line one is voice line
2.
IMPORTANT: You MUST complete the call by answering it; otherwise the device won’t
register the test call event in the server logs, which is used for install validation.
3. NOTE:
If there are any issues other than a completed call and calling number identification/
verification such as a call didn't go through or any other condition, STOP and call your
Installation Support Team to report the issue and work to resolve before proceeding.
4. If step 3 successful record the calling phone number in the Checklist for this site as Phone 1's
(primary) new DRI-9080 number.
Repeat steps 1 - 4 accordingly using the phone 2-8 line ports of the DataRemote DRI-9080 device
(if the lines are voice lines.)
1.
Locate the fire panel. Have the Manager escort you to the room/area where the active Fire
Alarm Panel is located if not already visible refer to your Installer representative/ manual for a
sample picture of typical Fire Alarm Panels.
2.
A good indication that you've identified the correct Fire Panel is when you find the two(2) existing
POTS lines that are associated with the Fire Alarm Panel. The two (2) existing POTS lines,
(generally RJ-11 style) can appear in varied termination options and locations, such as:
a. Two (2) surface-mount jacks located just outside of the Fire Alarm Panel, generally RJ-31
style
b.
In a 4x4 Electrical box just off to the side of the fire panel.
c. Jacks may be inside the Fire Alarm Panel on the motherboard and/or a dialer module.
IMPORTANT: Do not touch these existing surface mount jacks or their cabling at this time!!!
3. Take a "BEFORE" picture of the panel and any status indicators/displayed messages appearing
to represent the condition of the panel upon arrival!
CAUTION:
DO NOT DISCONNECT ANY EXISTING PHONE LINES UNTIL
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO LATER IN THIS DOCUMENT. TO DO SO EARLIER,
MAY RISK A POSSIBLE DISPATCH FROM THE RESPECTIVE ALARM
COMPANY.
