Configuration This section describes programming of 2N® LiftNet. It is possible to program 2N® LiftNet in three ways. Telephone-Based Programming PSTN Machine Room PC-Based Programming...
LN Programming 3.1 LN Programming The advantage is that it is only the CU that has to be programmed. Thus, it is unnecessary to re-program the parameters after audio unit replacement. With a multiple-lift system, you just program one CU. The memory is independent of the CU power supply.
Page 53
LN Programming Note You are recommended to change it to secure your equipment against unauthorised access. If you forget your password, contact the manufacturer to recover your data. You have a 5-second timeout by default (or a user-defined limit of 1 to 9 seconds) to enter every character of your password.
LN Programming Troubleshooting LN fails to respond correctly to DTMF commands, e.g. the programming mode cannot be entered. Today, voice transmission is prevailingly digital, using variable compression algorithms. Therefore, the DTMF signal to be transmitted is often distorted. Moreover, it may, in some cases, be transmitted through the so-called command channel, whose delay may differ from that of the speech channel.

Function Description (for Advanced Users) 4.3 Function Description (for Advanced Users) Purpose of Section The purpose of this section is to help technicians solve problems, if any. If the system fails to work properly and a well-trained technician monitoring its operation step by step according to the description included herein gets to a point where the description and reality are in contradiction, he or she describes the contradiction, thus facilitating troubleshooting.
Function Description (for Advanced Users) Triphony Triphony provides interconnection of audio units. This mode can be activated by pressing the TRIPHONY button in the machine room (see the preceding subsection), in the lift shaft or on the lift car roof (audio units No. 913612E). This mode features a different setting of the automatic HandsFree mode.
Function Description (for Advanced Users) Call Sequencing If another request arises during communication, the calls are queued. Calls have different priorities – ALARM calls have the highest one. Therefore, the ALARM call suspends any lower-priority call (the checking call, e.g.). Calls with identical priorities are queued and processed one after another.
Function Description (for Advanced Users) Automatic Dialling of Multiple Numbers with Confirmation Up to 6 telephone numbers including repetitions can be stored for dispatching office calling. LN then tries to call all the numbers stored. To confirm successful calls, LN uses tone dialling (DTMF).
Function Description (for Advanced Users) Evaluation of Situations during Automatic Audible Dialling with Confirmation Situation LN Activity Busy tone after number LN hangs up and dials the next number in the dialling end sequence. LN waits for a pre-set period of time (see Parameter Call or silence 913).
Automatic Call Receiving ® If equipped with a PC with the 2N LiftManager application, the dispatching centre receives calls automatically. It identifies the calling lifts and types of calls (ALARM, checking, and automatic failure report).
