Dialer programming
The dialer has a number of options that can be programmed. The
dialer can be used as a dialer for sending event information to the
central monitoring station, and it can be used as a modem for dial-
in programming and status and report retrieval.
Dialer programming options
Type
Set the dialer type to:
Dual line: Uses LINE 1 and LINE 2 to transmit events to the central station receiver
and performs modem functions.
Single line: Uses LINE 1 only to transmit events to the central station receiver and
performs modem functions.
Modem only: Dialer provides interface for outbound communications and the ability
for dial-in programming and status and report retrieval. Note: If Modem Only is
selected, only Rings to Answer, Ring Type, and Callback Number can be
programmed. No other dialer options are displayed in the menu. The modem
function only works with LINE 1.
