Alarms can be placed on the stack without activating a relay or dialing a phone number by entering a 00
with no relay number when you get to the relay select part of the setup. Alarms without associated
actions are simply put on the alarm stack and are reported when the next call in session is initiated.
HINT: If you make a mistake while programming an alarm, just wait 20 seconds and the routine will
time out without completing the setup. You can also switch the remote/local button and log back in. If
you setup an alarm unintentionally, it can be easily disabled using the 74 command that follows.
HINT: You can read back the alarm setup for the current channel by entering 82. You can also read
back the phone dialer list for an alarm using the 75 command below.
74 - Enable/Disable alarm.
First, enter the alarm type, then enter 1 to enable the alarm reporting or 0 to disable the alarm
reporting. Example: 74, Sicon beeps, 0, Sicon beeps twice. Alarm reporting is disabled and
setup is now ended. You must enter 74 again if you change you mind. This function turns off
one alarm at a time. To turn off all five alarms for a channel you would use this command five
times. To turn off all alarm reporting for a specific channel, consider removing it from the
autoscan function using the 70 command. To turn off all alarm reporting for every channel use
system setup 76 or 80 (91 & 76 or 91 & 80).
