Delay Between Dialing Attempts; Alternate Dial Option; Force Dial Option; Dialing Method - Magellan MG-6060 Reference And Installation Manual

Section [101]: Options [1] to [3]; Tamper/Tamper Restore
Option [1] ON = Call MSTN 1
Option [2] ON = Call MSTN 2
Option [3] ON = Call Pager telephone number
Section [101]: Options [5] to [7]; Trouble/Trouble Restore
Option [5] ON = Call MSTN 1
Option [6] ON = Call MSTN 2
Option [7] ON = Call Pager telephone number
Section [102]: Options [1] to [3]; Special
Option [1] ON = Call MSTN 1
Option [2] ON = Call MSTN 2
Option [3] ON = Call Pager telephone number
The events are divided into five groups (see above) where each
event group can be programmed to dial up to three telephone
numbers (MSTN 1 & 2 and the Pager telephone number) with
one as a possible backup (see MSTN 2 as Backup Number on
page 30).
• When a reportable event occurs in the system, the Magellan
console will begin dialing the numbers sequentially starting
from MSTN 1 (if enabled), skipping any disabled numbers
and stopping once all selected telephone numbers have
been called.
• After eight failed attempts at trying to call the monitoring
station, the console will then dial the selected backup
telephone number (if enabled; see MSTN 2 as Backup
Number on page 30).
• If the Alternate Dial option (see page 32) is enabled, the
console will dial the programmed backup telephone number
(if enabled, see MSTN 2 as Backup Number on page 30)
after every failed attempt.
• If no backup telephone number is programmed or section
[099] option [1] is disabled (OFF, see page 32), the console
will never report to the backup telephone number.
For more information, please refer to Monitoring Station
Telephone Numbers (MSTNs) on page 30, Alternate Dial
Option on page 32, MSTN 2 as Backup Number on page
30 and Delay Between Dialing Attempts on page 32.
Example: The system is armed and zone 1 has been breached
causing an alarm. If options [5] and [7] are OFF and option [6] is
ON in section [100], the console will attempt to communicate
with MSTN 2 in order to transmit the Zone 1 Alarm Report Code
programmed in section [131].

Delay Between Dialing Attempts

Section [076]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = disabled; Default = 20
seconds
This delay determines the amount of time the Magellan console
will wait between each dialing attempt.

Alternate Dial Option

Section [098]: Option [5]
Option [5] OFF = Alternate dial disabled (default)
Option [5] ON = Alternate dial enabled
With option [5] OFF, the Magellan console will dial the
programmed backup telephone number MSTN 2 (see MSTN 2
as Backup Number on page 30) only after all attempts to call
32
MSTN 1 have failed. With option [5] ON, the console will dial the
backup telephone number after every failed attempt.

Force Dial Option

Section [098]: Option [6]
Option [6] OFF = Force dial disabled (default)
Option [6] ON = Force dial enabled
When option [6] is enabled, the Magellan console will dial a
telephone number even if no dial tone is present after 3 seconds.

Dialing Method

Section [098]: Option [7]
Option [7] OFF = Pulse dialing
Option [7] ON = Tone / DTMF dialing (default)
When option [4] is ON, the Magellan console is set for Tone/
DTMF dialing. When option [4] is OFF, the console is set for
pulse dialing. Refer to Pulse Ratio on page 32 for information on
setting the pulse ratio.

Pulse Ratio

Section [098]: Option [8]
Option [8] OFF = European Pulse Ratio of 1:2
Option [8] ON = U.S.A. Pulse Ratio of 1:1.5 (default)
When using Pulse dialing, you can select one of two Pulse
Ratios. Although most European countries use the 1:2 pulse
ratio, the 1:1.5 ratio may provide better results in some cases.
The same applies for North American countries. If the 1:1.5
pulse ratio is not providing the desired results, the 1:2 ratio may
be used.
Switch to Pulse Dialing on 5
Section [098]: Option [3]
Option [3] OFF = Switch to pulse dialing on fifth attempt disabled
(default)
Option [3] ON = Switch to pulse dialing on fifth attempt enabled
When section [098] option [3] is ON, the Magellan console
switches from tone/DTMF dialing to pulse dialing on the fifth
attempt to report events to the monitoring station. The console
continues to use pulse dialing until it establishes communication.
When the console switches to another MSTN, it returns to tone/
DTMF dialing and will once again switch to pulse dialing on the
fifth attempt.

Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)

Section [098]: Options [1] and [2]
When enabled, the system verifies the existence of a telephone
line once every second. A line test failure occurs when the TLM
detects less than a certain voltage for the period defined by the
TLM Fail Timer (see page 33). If the line test fails, the Magellan
console generates one or more conditions as defined by the TLM
settings below. These will be restored when the console detects
the telephone line again.
