12.4 Limited Remote Telephone Programming
Some basic confi guration areas of the PERS-4200 Console can be
programmed by a remote telephone phone call. The programming is limited
to Reporting Format, Primary Phone Number, Account Number settings.
✓
NOTE: If the telephone line that the Console is connected to has
automatic telephone answering equipment that answers the line in three
rings or less, the Console may not be able to be remotely accessed.
In this remote programming mode, the Console remains fully functional
and will continue to annunciate and report alarms as they occur, except
for the few seconds when confi guration memory is being updated at the
conclusion of a RA4200 programming session. Prior to the confi guration
update, the Console will continue to use its previously stored settings
for normal operation. If the remote programming connection is the same
as the Console’s reporting connection, the Console will terminate the
remote access session to report an alarm.
This remote programming mode times out after four minutes of inactivity
or by pressing the
CANCEL
button on the Console.
