Sicon-8 Technical Manual CircuitWerkes, Inc.

76– Global enable/disable critical alarm dial-out.

This setting supercedes the individual alarm settings and allows you to mute or unmute all critical

alarms. The individual alarm settings for each channel are not affected. Entering a 0 will mute all

critical alarms. Entering a 1 will allow critical alarms to be handled normally. Default = enabled.

77 - Enable/disable cell-phone interface.

Enter a 0 to disable the cell phone audio interface or a 1 to enable the interface. The cell phone

interface will only switch after the termination of the current call. The local port is disabled while the

cell phone interface is active. To activate the cell phone interface while using the local port, you first

set the Sicon-8 to remote mode & log in from the front jack using any of the normal passwords.

After activation, enter 99 to terminate the “call” & the interface will switch. To deactivate the cell

phone interface, either call the Sicon-8 via normal phone line and de-activate or call it via cell phone

and de-activate it. Default = disabled

78 - Set number of rings until answer in Remote mode

Enter a two digit number from 01 to 99 to set the number of rings that the Sicon-8 will wait before

answering an incoming call. Default = 2

79- Set number of rings until answer in Local mode

Enter a two digit number from 01 to 99 to set the number of rings that the Sicon-8 will wait before

answering an incoming call when it is in the local mode. Default = 20.

80 – Enable/Disable global alarms

This option lets you suspend all alarm checking. Unlike 76 above, when alarms are disabled, new

alarm conditions are not even detected and are not put on the new alarm stack. Enter a zero (0) to

disable all alarm checking or a one (1) to allow normal alarms checking. Default = enabled

81 - Enable/disable the audio control mode

The audio control function is used to control the Sicon-8 using the audio input port. When this is

enabled, input audio is unmuted, allowing tones to be received by the DTMF decoder. The audio

will also be fed down the phone line and, when offline, to the audio output. If you are online with the

Sicon while it's in audio control mode and you would like to mute the audio, you may enter 95 from

any of the menus. To unmute the audio, you can enter 95 again, or alternatively, the audio input will

automatically be unmuted upon hangup. Please note that due to the audio passing through the

telephone hybrid, tones received on the audio input might not be decoded while the Sicon is online.

To enable/disable the audio control mode, enter 91 to enter the system setup menu (must have administrator privileges).

Then enter 81, followed by 0 to disable or 1 to enable the audio control. Default = disabled. Sequence = 91,81,0 or 1.
