5.22.3 Telephone Line
Dedication Line: When the PC dials the panel, it will respond immediately. (Default)
Shared Line: When the PC dials the panel, it will hang up after the second ring, and dial again.
The first call primes the panel, which will then answer the second call.
5.22.4 ARM / Modem Telephone Number
To be used in conjunction with the ‘DIAL OUT MENU’ function (see page: 64), these are
programmed for the appropriate PC. For example, the line the PCX is connected to might have
“bar incoming calls” therefore you can have the PCX dialling a PC, you will just need to enter a
‘Modem Telephone Number’, i.e. the number that the PC’s modem is connected to, and then exit
engineers (to save all the data) and go to dial out menu and select the operation. The arm
telephone number is used to send information to the PC software for monitoring purposes.
