Windsor Installation Manual - Issue C

If Handset and Line blocked are both programmed then line blocked and exchange voltage

monitoring will only be reported to the panel when the system (all areas) is set.

Connecting handsets in any configuration other than the method stated above (such as

parallel connection) will invalidate BABT (UK PTT) approval.

SmartDial Features

DTMF and Pulse dial

The communicator is capable of both DTMF and Pulse (loop disconnect) dialling of the

programmed telephone numbers. Dialling will only commence in the presence of a valid

proceed indication (dial tone) and will employ Timed Break Recall after 5 seconds in the

absence of the dial tone. If the exchange still fails to provide a dial tone, SmartDial will release

the line after a further 5 seconds. This will be considered as a connection attempt.

SmartDial Features

Timed Break Recall

The Timed Break Recall (“Star Services” in UK) service available on digital exchanges in

many countries is employed at the dial time if no dial tone is detected. This action requests a

clear fresh line from the exchange and overcomes the malicious, or otherwise, blocking of the

telephone line. This feature is a programmable option in v2.07 or later. Note that the panel

software must be 2.07 or later.

SmartDial Features

Compatibility with BT Redcare

SmartDial can be successfully used on BT Redcare lines due to the filtering out of the STU

low frequency tone at the SmartDial telephone line input.

SmartDial Features

Locally Initiated Test Calls

A test call is initiated to the primary, secondary and dual reporting telephone numbers in turn,

in the format programmed for that telephone store. The result of test calls are entered into the

event log. Test calls in Ademco format will be signalled using the text channel (channel 9) and

will include the current status for channels 1-8.

SmartDial Features

Default Configuration

The contents of the SmartDial configuration can be defaulted to a known state by defaulting

the Windsor configuration.

SmartDial Features

Blind Dial

Normally the communicator will only dial if a valid dial tone is detected. In some

circumstances, such as dialling through a PABX or where the telephone exchange tones are

not reliable, it may be necessary to program the communicator to dial without recognising a

dial tone. This feature is a programmable option in v2.07 or later. Note that the panel software

also be 2.07 or later.
