Entering Area Codes in Site and Alarm Station Definitions
When the country and area codes of an alarm station match those of the sites reporting to
it, calls to the alarm station are considered local. If they do not match, a long distance code
(1 by default plus an area code) is used to make the call. This is illustrated in
Figure 11-7 .
TIP! Long distance or local, Honeywell recommends that you enter long distance codes
for alarm stations and for Rapid Eye sites. The software can compare the phone
numbers more easily that way, suppress their display automatically as needed, and
avoid processing an error.
