Enter the phone number of the emergency contact and the dial (DTMF) tones you will be
sending to the pager. (For full details on the various aspects of this Action, please refer to
“Action: Dial a Telephone or Pager” in the Reference section of the Help menu). You can
optionally place dashes (‘-‘) to present the phone numbers in familiar form (999-9999),
though this will not affect how the number is dialed out. Wait to connect is the amount of
delay time you want prior to the dial tone or audio file to be sent. For example, if the wait to
connect was sent to 10 seconds, Digital Video Security System will wait 10 seconds after
dialing the phone number to start playing a specified audio message.

immediate call according to the information you have entered.
Sending a test phone or pager message does not affect any operation
when motion is detected. It is merely a convenience to ensure that
you entered information correctly into the dialog.
If your system does not have a TAPI compliant modem, the telephone

The modem must support both voice and data
communication in order to operate properly. Many built-in modems
are only designed for data, not voice, and some built-in modems may
not support TAPI. TAPI stands for Telephony Application Program
