The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER
NUMBER 05]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the next
parameter number.
You can reach
PARAMETER 06
in one of several ways. Press either:
•

immediately – not its
number
.
SLOT 1 NEEDS 1 RINGS MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS
Background:
The Line Cards in each of the eight slots may be programmed to "pick up" on
an incoming call immediately (i.e., after 1 ring) or after an extended time
(i.e., up to 8 rings).
On occasion, random "noise" on a phone line may affect the corresponding
Line Card, which may interpret the noise as a
Ring
–
causing it to pick up
the line in error. In consideration of this possibility, it may be desirable to
program additional
Ring Signals
so that sporadic noise will not cause an
immediate pickup. Before doing so, bear in mind that the use of additional
Ring Signals
will slightly delay the processing of legitimate alarm reports.
Programming Procedures:
As stated, each
Slot Number
may be programmed to pick up the
corresponding line after waiting between 1 and 8 rings.
[SLOT 1 NEEDS 1 RINGS] will be displayed after entering
PARAMETER
06.
The number [1] after [SLOT] will be flashing.
If it is necessary to change the number of rings that
Slot 1
will listen for
before picking up a call, take the following steps:
1. Depress
the key once. The [1] before [RINGS] will begin to flash. The
number of rings required by
Slot 1
may be altered at this time.
2. Press the key representing the number of rings appropriate for
Slot 1
(i.e., press
2
for two rings). The chosen number of rings will be assigned
to
Slot 1.
3. Press
the key so that the [1] after [SLOT] flashes again.
