The following two options will define how the control panels answer an incoming call from a
computer using the Espload software.
In order for the Espload software to remotely communicate with the control panel, call the
installation site twice using the Espload Software. To do so, program the
first digit in address 003
with any value from 1-F (see table 2 below), this value represents the delay period the control
panel will wait between the first and second call. Using the Espload software, call the installation
site and on the second ring press [
ENTER
] on the keyboard to hang-up. After hanging up, the
Espload software will immediately call the installation site back. If the installation site is called back
within the programmed delay period, the control panel will override the answering machine or
service by picking-up on the first ring. To disable this option program [2
ND
] or [1] as the first digit in
address 003.
Example: A security installation is using an answering machine set to answer after 3
rings, the first digit at address 003 has been programmed with [5] (40 sec.) and the
second digit has been programmed with 8. When you call the installation site with the
Espload software the first time, wait two rings and press [
ENTER
] on the keyboard. The
Espload software will immediately call the installation site back. If the second call is made
within 40 seconds, the panel will pick up the line on the first ring. If it takes more than 40
seconds, the panel will not answer on the first ring and the answering machine will
answer after three rings.
[
ENTER
] + Installer Code + [10] [10] [3] + 1st digit + 2nd digit (1-15 rings) + [
ENTER
]
The second digit represents the number of rings the control panel will wait before picking-up the
line. If the line is not answered after the number of re-programmed rings, the control panel will
answer the call. Note the control panel resets the "ring" counter every 64 seconds. Therefore, if
someone or an answering machine answers a call before the number of pre-programmed rings
has elapsed, the control panel will keep the number of rings in memory for 64 seconds. If you hang-
up and call the installation site back within 64 seconds, the control panel will continue to count the
number of rings from the first call. After reaching the total number of rings, the control panel will
answer the call. The number of rings can be set from 1-15 by programming the second digit at
address 003 with any hexa-digit from 1-F. Program the second digit with [2
ND
] to disable this option.
Example: Address 003 = [2
ND
] [8]. Using the Espload software, you call an installation
site where there is no answering machine or service and no one is home. Since there is
no one to answer the telephone call, the control panel will pick-up the line on the eighth
ring. If someone happens to be home and answers the telephone, say, after three rings,
the control panel will keep the three rings in memory for 64 seconds. If you hang-up and
call back the installation site within 64 seconds the control panel will answer the call on
