3.1.1.4.3 Ring Count
The ring count designates the number of rings allowed on the phone line prior to
answering an incoming call from a service terminal. The factory default is

which
means the control panel will not answer an incoming call until 3 rings are detected.
This entry may be programmed for
1
to
25
rings. A setting of

prevents the panel
from answering incoming calls.
To change the Ring Count, press

digit ring count which can be a value between 00 and 25. After the second digit is
entered, the display will return to the Service Terminal screen.
