Phones menu

Use the Phones menu to set up central station reporting for the system. The Phones
menu has the following submenus:
• Central station phones 1 to 3 (see "Phones - central station phone 1 to 3 settings"
on page 49).
• Pager phones 1 to 5 (see "Phones - pager phone 1 to 5 settings" on page 50).
• Downloader phone (see "Phones - downloader phone settings" on page 52).

Note: A bypassed keyswitch sensor cannot arm or disarm the system.
During an audible alarm, keyswitch sensors can disarm the system (which
sends a cancel report to the central monitoring station), but cannot arm the
system. The system can be armed only after the siren timeout expires.
Keyswitch sensors test the same as any other sensor and do not arm or
disarm the system during a sensor test.
To delete a keyswitch sensor, with the display showing KEYSWITCH
SENSOR nn (current sensor number), press D to erase the keyswitch
sensor attribute.
This feature determines how the system behaves when armed/disarmed by
a keyswitch sensor. The choices are as follows:
Transition (press 1): If keyswitch style is set to transition and the keyswitch
sensor is tripped (opened) when the system is disarmed, the panel will
automatically arm to Away. If the sensor is tripped (opened) when the
system is armed to Away or Stay, the panel will automatically disarm
State (press 2): If keyswitch style is set to state, when the keyswitch sensor is
tripped (opened) the panel arms to Away. If the sensor is restored (closed)
the panel disarms.
Opening, closing, and force arming reports (if turned on) are reported to the
central station for both keyswitch styles.
The duress code is a unique 4-digit access code that allows users to operate
the system and, at the same time, instructs the panel to send a silent alarm
report to the central station.
Do not use a duress code unless it is necessary. Using duress codes often
results in false alarms due to code entry errors.
To use this feature, the Duress option setting under the "Reporting menu" on
page 59 must be turned on.
