Line number Assign a line number to current line you are modifying. Choice from 0 to F. NOTE: it should be verified if line
number and number of digits is compatible with the output format selected. Selection will insert line number for each alarm event
sent to PC. Line numbers from line 1 or 2 do not need to be sequential as this is a convention for output string only.
Receiver ID Assign a receiver number from 0 to F. This value is the same for both lines. NOTE: it should be verified if receiver
number format and number of digits is compatible with the output format selected. Selection will insert receiver number for each
alarm event sent to PC.
Listen-in code
Assign a unique identifier for Listen-in/2 way voice to Pulse signals. Values from 0 to F. Does not affect other
preset value for Contact ID, SIA or Tunstall TTnew.
Listen-in time out
Assign a value in seconds to the length of listen-in period. Default is 180 seconds. Value from 0 to 255
seconds.
This value does not affect length of call if operator uses a handset to keep line off-hook.
Use left and right arrow keys to move from one digit to the other and up and down keys to change value.
Number of rings
Change number of rings to answer a call. Default is 1 and selection can be from 0 to 5. Warning: the value 0
could not work with some ring patterns or some telephone company ringing system. Revert to 1 if experiencing problems
Wait after off hook
Select this option to add a 5s delay after off-hook before sending handshake sequence. Only use this
option if you know it is needed.
Formats selection Enable handshake type with this menu. Default is Pulse, DTMF (Contact ID) and Modem (SIA).
WARNING:
To insure there are no conflict, do not enable a type if you are not receiving panel using this type of protocol. Some
formats may conflict with others and may not be mutually available on the same phone line.
Please contact MCDI about using TTnew to receive application note.
Robofon needs to be enabled at factory specifically to work with Ed and is not standard in Ed. Given differences from one
manufacturer to the other, use of Robofon format is not recommended.
Handshake sequence Assign a format type to each position from 1 to 8 in the handshake sequence. Receiver will present
this sequence until panel handshakes. If panel recognize a format, rest of the handshake sequence will not be sent. Use this
feature to speed up handshaking especially is most of the panels sending to receiver are of the same types.
NOTE:
A format needs to be selected in Format selection to be available in Handshake sequence selection. Format TTnew must
be in first position and will not be available at other positions. DO NOT enable format selection you are not using as conflict may
arise. Contact MCDI for application note on using TTnew format.
Auto handshake
Select this option to present memorized choice to panel. If panel is not recognized, the programmed
handshake sequence will be used.
NOTE: even if a format type is disabled, it is still possible to enable a corresponding frequency in the handshake sequence.
Some panels sometimes respond better to lower or higher frequencies than expected and the handshake sequence may be used
to tune handshake.
NOTE: it is consider a best practice not to select a type if not used by panels. Do not add more format than
necessary in the handshake sequence as this may force a longer than necessary handshake transaction.
NOTE: TTnew format should be in position 1 to avoid conflicts. It is not available at other positions. Contact MCDI
to receive application note on using TTnew format.
