Communications
This section describes the procedure for establishing communication with a
OMA-D560 system. It includes details on how to use the RS-232 port, a phone
line for data, voice and pager communication, and how to put data into the web.
Using a Phone Line
Data, voice or pager? It’s your decision!
The OMA-D560 system can communicate over a standard phone line with a computer or pager. It also offers a
powerful, easy-to-use voice mode for ready-access to information from your equipment anytime, from any standard
telephone.
The data mode will allow you to review inputs, set up and reconfigure any OMA-D560 system from a remote
location, retrieve stored information, and perform diagnostics from your PC.
The voice mode offers the convenience of inquiry into condition status from any standard telephone, and provides a
high-quality, clear, consistent voice without the need for set up, programming, or recording.

Voice Mode
℡
The OMA-D560 will respond to your call by generating a carrier tone − indicating that the
system is attempting to communicate with a data terminal. The tone will eventually stop after a
few seconds and the OMA-D560 will switch to voice mode and speak in a synthesized voice:
“Hello, this is telephone number five, five, five, one, two, one, two. Enter security code.”
Enter your eight-digit security code on the touch-tone keypad (initially set at the factory to 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
1, 1, 1). The OMA-D560 system will respond “OK.”
The voice mode of the OMA-D560 system utilizes a built-in voice enunciator that responds to commands
entered from any standard push-button tone-dialing telephone. You enter command codes from the
telephone keypad and response messages are spoken in English.
Voice Mode commands consist of a three-letter code followed by either the # or * key. The following
commands are available in the Voice Mode:
ALM# = Alarm acknowledge
B Y E # Terminate on-line session
