receiver:

Baud Rate Setting
When using the SCS-105 with Remote Link or System Link, the Baud Rate in the software must be set to
9600
baud.
You can set the Baud rate in Remote Link and System Link.

System > Configure > Remote Link
(or System Link)
> Receiver
tab.
2. In the Baud Rate field, select
9600

Receiver Key Programming
The SCS-105 comes with a blank default receiver key. This allows you to perform remote operations as the service
receiver. Make the default key unique to this SCS-105 to restrict unauthorized remote programming.
Note: For additional information, see the Remote Link User’s Guide (LT-0565) or System Link User’s Guide (LT-0570).
Answering Machine Bypass Function
If you are contacting a panel that has answering machine bypass capability, the SCS-105 turns on a carrier tone five
seconds after it finishes dialing the account phone number. The carrier tone is on for approximately 90 seconds while
the subscriber’s panel will pick up the phone line and communicate with the Remote Link or System Link computer.
Note:
This requires SCS-105 firmware version 207 or higher.
Volume Control
You can adjust the volume control to listen to data transmissions between the SCS-105 and DMP panels.
• Set the volume control at about one sixth of a turn clockwise for normal listening levels,
• Turn the volume controler fully counterclockwise to mute the SCS-105.
Adding a Telephone
You can connect a standard telephone to the rear
TELEPHONE
port of the SCS-105 to call and talk to a subscriber at
the premises prior to any remote operations.
Digital Dialer Mode
The SCS-105 receiver comes configured for 2-wire digital dialer operation and no hardware adjustments are necessary.
