The remote device’s modem must be compatible with CCITT V.22bis and support connections
at 2.4 kbps. Set the remote modem for auto-answer mode. Both the remote device and
modem should be set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
PRT PHONE#
The Print Phone Number field shows the number the modem dials to report alarms to the
remote device. This number can be up to 14 digits long.

The Print Retry field specifies the amount of time the system will wait between attempts to
redial the remote device. The retry interval can be from 1 to 60 minutes.

that occurs during that interval will be reported at the end of that cycle.
