Security Security access command
<spi prefix> + <09> ; <nnn>
Unlock security access
default 13009 lock access
13009nnn unlock
This command must be entered prior to accessing the configuration commands if a security code has been
programmed. Entering the prefix with out the code, or with an invalid code, will lock the system (which
should be done after a configuration session is complete). The security access automatically expires 15
minutes after the last entry of a configuration command. It should be noted that this command is totally
unrelated to the FF-800 security commands. NOTE: If the security prefix is set to blank (no prefix), then
security is ALWAYS unlocked, and this command has no affect on the status of security. The factory
default is a blank security code.
Configuration Commands
NOTE: All configuration commands require that the DVR security be unlocked or disabled.
Set security code <spi prefix> + <05*d..d>
default 13005*d..d
response: "P F X" if new prefix is OK
"Abort" if new prefix is a duplicate of an existing prefix or if CMD unlock jumper
removed.
The security code "d..d" can be between 0 (blank) and 3 digits long. Zero digits for "d..d" disables the
security feature (this is the factory default). Note that the CMD unlock jumper (P3) must be installed to set
the security code.
Record system track <spi prefix> + <01nn> Record track #<nn>
<spi prefix> + <01*nn> Interrogate track length
<spi prefix> + <07nn> Record (no play-back)
default 13001nn record
13001*nn interrogate track length
13007nn record w/ no play-back
The record time of the new track can not exceed the allocated time or an error message will result
and the original track will be lost -- refer to appendix B for a listing of the BASIC initialization
allocations. The <01*nn> format allows the user to interrogate the amount of time allocated to the
indicated track. The response is in seconds and provides the user with a means to interrogate the
maximum length allocation for any track. The record protocol is as follows:
• Enter 13001nn (nn = track# to record) and wait for the "DVR" response from the
FF-8070(or "DVR B" if source = auxiliary) -- the DVR waits for a
COS signal (or any DTMF digit if input=B) at which point the recording
operation begins.
• Recording continues until the loss of COR (or any DTMF digit if input=B) or until
the end of track is reached. There is no alert for end of track over-run.
• After the record operation, the track is played back and the record cycle is complete
(this step is skipped for the no play-back command).
There is a time-out limit of 5 seconds after the "DVR" response -- if COS (or DTMF digit if
input=B) is not engaged within this time, the record operation is aborted with no change to the
original track.
