Alarming signal
If an alarming signal is triggered, the handset automatically generates alarm
calls to the configured alarm destination. The alerted party recognises the alert-
ing party from the caller's phone number for example.
The alarm subscriber's phone number has to be transmitted for this purpose.
The communications system used must support the caller ID function.
In order to ensure if at all possible that an alarm call reaches the configured
alarm destination, the alarm calls are repeated cyclically. The duration and num-
ber of alarm calls can be predefined.
The call duration and ringing interval are identical. The call duration and ringing
interval are incremented by one second after each alarm call.
Communication with the alarm destination is only possible for the duration of the
connection because of the automatic alarm call retry.
An alarm callback by the alarm server is possible for example if an alarm server
is being used. This server ends the alarm retries and establishes a voice con-
nection to the alerting PNG. The alarm callback is answered automatically by the
PNG. Handsfree mode and handset mode are possible here.
Alarm signal
An alarm signal/positioning tone can be issued by the handset in order to locate
the alerting party. Depending on the alarm type, it can be established whether or
not a positioning tone is to be issued in the event of an alarm.
The manual alarm can also be triggered with/without a positioning tone depend-
ing on the situation:
• Longpress – no positioning tone
• Shortpress – positioning tone
Communication with the alarm destination is only possible when the alarm sig-
nal/positioning tone is active if the alarm signal/positioning tone is disabled man-
ually with the "+" or "-" key. Manual suppression of the alarm signal can be con-
figured. The alarm signal suppression is only effective for the duration of the
connection.
