4. Leave the Country Code and Area Code (City Code) boxes empty. Steps 4 and 5 trick
Windows Dial-up Networking into making a local call across different area codes.
5. An Add Site/Update Site window appears.
6. Click Close. Look for the Primary Connection column on the Sites tab. The first letter
of dial-up (
d
) appears in parentheses, followed by the telephone number used to
connect to the Multi-Media unit.
Dial-Up Technical Note
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
During a dial-up connection, temporary TCP/IP network communications are established
between the Multi-Media unit and the PC. These default point-to-point protocol (PPP)
Internet Protocol (IP) settings can be changed should they conflict with other network
devices (printers, scanners and so on). See
Setting Up a Modem Serial Device on page 152 .
Adding an Alarm Station
Should you plan to add one or more alarm stations using dial-up connections, Honeywell
recommends that area codes be included in all telephone numbers. Dial-up connections
between a Multi-Media unit and an alarm station running View are explained in
Dial-Up
Connection to an Alarm Station on page 224 .
Offering Many Dial-Up Connections to the Same Unit
More than one dial-up connection to the same Multi-Media unit may be needed. Table 3-3
lists configurations, and the number of connections for best results. For example, Windows
Dial-Up Networking can give unwanted results when some View operators are inside the
Multi-Media unit’s local calling area and others are outside. Telephone companies can also
force a Multi SA to setup an irregular local call (a local call across area codes).
