enter a 1. If you wish to have the panel dial back to you after you have previously established
contact with the panel, enter a 2. Press the RETURN key and the display will show
ACCOUNT #A 0. The numbering scheme for a control panel when used with the auto-
dial modem is from 000-000 to 099-254. This six-digit value has been broken down into two
three-digit values, account #a and account #b. Enter a three-digit value ranging from 000 to 099
in the account #a window. Note that a value up to 127 can be entered in account #a; however,
this will create a six-digit account number and most central/monitoring station automation
computers cannot handle account numbers greater than five digits. Press the RETURN key and
the display will show ACCOUNT #B 0. Enter a three-digit value ranging from 000 to 254
and then press the RETURN key.
The display will momentarily show ACCESS CODE followed by a blank screen with the cursor
flashing at the left. If you have chosen password protection (access mode 1) when dialling into a
control panel, enter your password here; otherwise, press the RETURN key. The password may
be an alphanumeric string up to 127 characters long. You may have a unique password for every
panel because the PANELMAN program will store the password on a per customer basis. Press
the RETURN key to proceed.
The display will show DIAL LIMIT 5. This value may be changed to reflect the number of
times that an attempt is made to call out to the central/monitoring station. The maximum allowed
value is 15. The panel will check both stored telephone numbers in attempting to dial out and, if
the dial limit is reached, the flashing alert message CALL NOT ANSWERED will be
displayed. Enter a new value or press the RETURN key to proceed.
The display will show ENTER DIAL COMMAND for a moment, followed by the dial com-
mand AT E0 X2 S0=8 DP. This command is sent to the auto-dial modem ahead of the
telephone number and tells the auto-dial modem to listen (AT), turn the echo off (E0), wait for
dial tone (X2), set the auto-answer to eight rings (S0=8), and choose the dialling method to use
(default command is DP for pulse dialling). You may edit this command as necessary; however,
you should check with the factory to ensure that you are using the correct command structure.
The most common change will be to edit DP to DT for tone dialling. For more details on dial
com-mands, consult any commercial auto-dial modem manual. Press the RETURN key to
proceed.
The display will now show ENTER TEL. NO. 1, followed in a moment by a blank screen.
Enter the telephone number of the auto-dial modem at the remote location. A two-second pause
between numbers can be included by entering a comma (shift shift AUDIBLE SILENCE 1) (e.g.,
9,4167548992). Press the RETURN key to proceed.
The display will now show ENTER TEL. NO. 2. If an alternative location is available for use
when no connection can be made with the first number, then enter that telephone number;
otherwise, either leave this entry blank or re-enter the first number. Press the RETURN key to
proceed.
