Phone test
Shortcut: 02000
Default: On
This setting determines if you can test the communication from the panel
to the central station or a pager by entering 8,
code
, 2 (#, 8,
code
, 2 from a
touch tone phone).
Automatic phone test
Shortcut: 02001
Default: Off
This setting determines if the panel sends a phone test automatically to
the central station or a pager on a predetermined schedule. (See Phone
test freq. and Next phone test under “Timers -global settings” on page 55).
Automatic test reset
Shortcut: 02002
Default: On
This setting determines whether the automatic phone test interval is reset
after any successful report to the central monitoring station. (See Phone
test freq. and Next phone test under “Timers -global settings” on page 55).
When this feature is on, the panel considers any successful report to the
central monitoring station to be a successful phone test. Thus, any panel
report resets the next phone test setting to the phone test frequency
value. The panel only conducts an automatic phone test if no other
reports have been made during the phone test frequency time. Phone test
frequency must be set to 2 or higher for automatic test reset to work.
When this feature is off, an automatic phone test is always conducted
according to the schedule of the phone test frequency setting, even if the
panel makes other reports to the central monitoring station during that
time.
