l
Ability to defeat voice annunciation for a specific phone number
Often just dialing the pager system and emitting a DTMF ID sequence is
sufficient for that phone call. Voice reports only delay the calling of
subsequent numbers.
l
Ability to add DTMF A, B, C, and D tones to phone number string
These DTMF characters don't appear on standard telephones and may be
used to differentiate automation equipment from humans calling the
paging system.
Except for simple delays, entry of these additional digits into a phone number
string requires a two key sequence. For example, to enter a '#' character into a
phone number string, either at the front panel or over the phone, press the '*'
key followed by the 8 key. This two key sequence will enter the single '#'
character into phone number string.
The complete list of special digits is as follows:
Desired Result User Enters Voice Speaks
DTMF 'A' in phone string *1 A
DTMF 'B' in phone string *2 B
DTMF 'C' in phone string *3 C
DTMF 'D' in phone string *4 D
No voice annunciation for this number *5 PHONE
Pause for tone detect *6 TONE
DTMF '*' in phone string *7 STAR
DTMF '#' in phone string *8 POUND
Case 1: Simplest Case Pager
The simplest case is when you only have to call the pager and can hang up as
soon as it answers, with no information being passed to the pager except that
someone called. If you have only one dialer (and no one else uses the number!)
you assume that any call from the pager is a Verbatim alarm call, and proceed
from there. Of course, if you had two possible callers, you wouldn't know
which one had called.
Example:
Set the first phone number to call the pager, the second phone number to call
the plant foreman. Program 701 9 *6 1 713 235 3456 ENTER. (here, 701
signifies the first phone number, 9 to get an outside line, *6 to get an outside
line dial tone, 1 713 235 3456 our hypothetical long distance call to a pager,
and ENTER to complete the phone number). Program 702 9 *6 548 7632
ENTER (this is the second phone number, to call the foreman in case the pager
call doesn't get through).
