Audio Alarm Verification (Two-Way Voice Feature)

This feature allows the Central Station operator to listen, talk to or conduct a two-way conversation with an
individual(s) at the premises. It also assists the operator in gathering information about the nature and location
of the alarm that may be helpful in responding to police and fire departments. All Lyric Controllers are capable
of supporting the Two-Way Voice feature. The Lyric Gateway does not make system announcements when the
Two-Way Voice feature is active.
If a WiFi connection is being used for Two-Way Voice (AAV), sufficient bandwidth must be available.
•
AAV requires a continuous WiFi upload/download bandwidth of 90kbps for proper operation.
• WiFi bandwidth less than 90kbps may result in degraded performance.

Activation

Fire and CO alarms will prevent the Lyric Gateway from starting an AAV session. A new Fire or
CO alarm will end an AAV session that is in progress.
The controller sends the "alarm message" followed by a "Listen-in-to-Follow message" (Contact ID® code 606)
to the Central Station. The Listen-in-to-Follow message causes the Central Station's digital receiver to
temporarily hold the phone line for approximately 1 minute. When the controller receives the "kissoff" from the
Central Station, indicating that the alarm message has been received, the Two-Way Voice (AAV) feature is
activated in the (default) "Listen Mode" and sirens and keypad sounds are discontinued. The controller transmits
a beep acknowledgment to the Central Station, once per second. The beep alternates between two tones and
indicates that the controller is waiting for a session command from the Central Station operator. Once a
command is issued the beep acknowledgement is discontinued, however, if a command is not issued within two
minutes the system will "time out" and the call will be terminated.

Operator Commands

The Central Station operator begins the session, which last 5 minutes, by entering one of the valid AAV
commands shown in the table below. The session may be extended 5 minutes, without changing the operating
mode, by pressing the [7] key on the touch-tone phone. Selecting another operating mode also resets the
session an additional 5 minutes. During the last minute of the 5 minute, session, the controller generates two
beeps every 30 seconds to alert the Central Station operator that the session is about to time out. The Central
Station operator may then extend the session by pressing the [7] key on the touch-tone phone. If the session is
not extended, the phone line is disconnected and the session is ended. Sessions may be ended at any time by
pressing the [9] key on the touch-tone phone. The AAV modes are described as follows:
Note: When entering AAV commands make sure the Central Station receiver has been disconnected
from the phone line, otherwise AAV commands may not go through.

alternately.
2 VOX (Voice) Mode: Pressing the [2] key on the touch-tone phone, enables two-way voice
communications between the Central Station and the violated premises via the controller's built-in
speaker and microphone. In this mode the controller's Panic button is lit Red and the Home button is
alternately lit Red and Green.
3 Listen Mode: Pressing the [3] key on the touch-tone phone, Enables one-way audio from the violated
premises to the Central Station. The Listen Mode is the start up default mode of the voice feature and
allows the operator to listen through the controller microphone. This mode does not affect the existing
LED pattern.
