• Description: Use this box to enter optional information about the unit.
• Unit No.: Up to seven (7) EL25 units can be installed on a single telephone line. Each unit must have a unique
number from 1 to 7. The unit number identifies each unit within a chain. Adding or removing EL25 units will require

be changed at the unit’s keypad.
• Linked Unit Group: Select an existing group name or enter a new one.
• Connect Set: Allows you to select a pre-defined set of instructions that tells Versa XS how to connect with the unit.
A connect set can include instructions for direct connection (RS232 and COM port) or modem connection (modem
type, baud rate, and COM port). Connect sets are created when configuring your communications settings.
• PBX Digit: If a EL25 unit is connected to a PBX telephone system, it can be directed to dial a specified digit, pause
briefly (so the PBX can give the system an outside line) and then dial any 7-digit (or longer) telephone number that
has been programmed into the system.

Number can be between 0-15 (default: 5 rings). A value of 0 will NOT allow the EL25 to be programmed remotely.
• Phone No.: Enter the telephone number of the phone line currently connected to the EL25 unit.
• Override Answering Service: When enabled, Versa XS will override the answering service by dialing the line
attached to your unit, letting the phone ring the specified “Number of Rings”, and then hanging up. After a few
seconds, Versa XS will dial the same number again. The unit will immediately answer the second call.
• Number of Rings: Determines the number of rings allowed to connect to the unit when “Override Answering
Service” is enabled. Max. 9 rings.
• Retry Delay: Sets the length of time (in seconds) before Versa XS will retry to connect. When “Override Answering
Service” is enabled.
• Alternate Prefixes: When the homeowner or manager presses ## or *** on the resident phone, the unit will
disconnects from the telephone line and allow the person to send a Direct Command (##) or program the system
(***), to wait for commands. Some telephone companies offer special features that require the person to press a
preceding “#” or “*”.
• Restore Defaults: Resets the unit settings to their default values.
