Multi-Media Alarm Stations
• The exchange is not shared. You will have to add the prefix before the telephone
number, site-by-site, as needed, in the Update Station to Call in Case of Alarms
box, obtained by updating the alarm station on the Update Site dialog box. This is
illustrated in
Figure 11-8 , on page 228 and in Customizing a Dial-Up Connection to an
Alarm Station on page 59 .
Delaying the Extension Suffix
To delay dialing to the extension, enter commas in the Phone Number box of the alarm
station definition, as needed. Each comma adds a one-second delay.
For example: 9,,, 555-1212,,,,,,,, 226, introduces an eight second delay (eight
commas would produce eight seconds of delay) before dialing the final 226
extension. See the previous section,
Dial-Up Connection to an Alarm Station on page
224 , for more information.
International Dial-Up
Long-distance prefixes are used for units that dial-up to alarm stations. Your Rapid Eye site
might not need this type of customization for its dial-up connection to an alarm station. For
other means of connecting to an alarm station, see
Table 11-2 , on page 220 .
Planning for a Few International Units
If only a few units reporting to an alarm station are outside of the alarm station’s country, it
is more effective to add the prefixes site-by-site, as needed. Add the prefixes to the Update
Station to Call in Case of Alarms box, opened by updating the alarm station on the
Update Site dialog box. See
Customizing a Dial-Up Connection to an Alarm Station on page
59 .
Alarm Station for Many International Units
If their are many international units reporting to an alarm station and they are all in the same
country, you have the option of changing the long distance prefixes for out-of-country and
in-country dialing (see
Figure 11-9 ).
Changing Long-Distance Prefixes
Long distance prefixes only affect connections from units to alarm stations. Connections
from View to units will not be affected.
1. Select Options from the View menu of the Admin application.
2. As needed, enter a new In-country long-distance prefix or Out-of-country
long-distance prefix in their fields. For example,
Figure 11-9 shows the prefixes
1
and
0,1,1
. Foreign prefixes for alarm station dial-up connections vary depending on
the country. Note that commas can be used to introduce a delay in the dial-up.
