Programming Dact Options; Enabling/Disabling Dact; Setting Primary Phone Number - Simplex 4006-9121 Technical Manual

Chapter 4. Programming the DACT
5. Use the <NEXT> and <PREV> keys to select one of the
following choices.
• Options. This choice allows you to program a wide
range of DACT parameters (supervising station
phone numbers and account codes, dialing mode,
communications format, etc.). Refer to "Program-
ming DACT Options" below for specific informa-
tion.
Note: If no DACT is installed, use this option to
disable the DACT. See "Programming DACT
Options," below for more information.
• Event Codes. The 3/1, 4/2, BFSK, and SIA com-
munication formats support per-event reporting of
fire alarms, trouble conditions, etc. With these for-
mats, the supervising station receives a general
code for an event type that does not specify the
activated point.
Use this choice to verify and edit the codes for each
event type. Refer to "Programming Event Codes,"
below for more information.
Note: Only the 3/1 and 4/2 formats allow editing.
• CID Points. The Contact ID communication for-
mat supports per-point reporting of system events.
The supervising station receives a code identifying
the point and the event type (alarm, trouble, etc.).
With this format, the DACT can also send a resto-
ral code to the supervising station after the device
experiencing the alarm, trouble, or supervisory
condition is restored to a normal state. Use this
choice to verify and edit the activation and restoral
codes for each point. Refer to "Programming Con-
tact ID (CID) Event Codes," below for more infor-
mation.

ber of the supervising station. This is the number that the
DACT dials first.

2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor from one digit to
another. Use the keypad numbers, or use the NEXT and
PREV keys to enter each number. Press <ENTER>
when the number is correctly entered. A prompt appears
asking you to confirm the number that you entered.
Note: The following special characters are available for
use when setting the primary and secondary phone num-
bers.
• B -- Use if it is necessary to input an DTMF (touch-
tone) asterisk (*) into the phone number.
• C -- Use if it is necessary to input a DTMF pound
sign (#) into the phone number.
• D -- Inserting this character into the phone number
causes a 3 second delay at the point at which the D
appears.
• E -- This character causes the DACT to wait two
seconds for a secondary (outside line) dial tone. It
may be necessary to use this character if you must
dial a specific number (9, for example) to get an
outside line on the phone system. For example, 9E
