telephone number that has Speech Only communications format selected.
The length of the message is limited to 20 seconds. Make sure that the
message contains enough information to identify the caller. When calling,
Homelink dials the number and then starts playing the message. Homelink
continues to play the message for two minutes. If during that time Homelink
receives a DTMF digit "1", "2" or "
playing the message, see page 19.
Note: If the operator has opened a speech path to the Homelink then they can replay
the message by dialling "3" on a DTMF phone.
To Answer Speech Only Call Attempts With DTMF Phones
When using Speech Only comms format Homelink waits to receive a DTMF
"5" digit before marking a call attempt as successfully completed.
To Answer Speech Only Call Attempts With Non-DTMF Phones
If you wish to call a telephone number that uses a pulse dialling phone then
the called party cannot send the correct signal to Homelink to end the call.
This means that Homelink will call each number ten times, even though the
called party has answered the call. Homelink may be programmed to shut
down after calling a number once, see PSION Programming Guide.
Remote Programming
A monitoring centre can reprogram some Homelink options by using a DTMF
telephone. See page 20 for more details. In addition, you must also program
the Homelink with a Security Code.
Some users may not have a telephone attached to their Homelink. In this
case the Homelink will answer incoming calls by itself after a programmed
number of rings.
Some users may be concerned that the Auto-Answer option will allow the
monitoring centre to eavesdrop on them. To maintain the user's privacy you
need to do the following.
•
Turn the privacy switch at the rear of the unit to . This will mean that
the monitoring centre CANNOT listen through the Homelink, but CAN
speak to the user through it.
Note: With the Auto-Answer speech enabled (default) and whilst the speech path is
open Homelink gives a tone every 18 seconds to alert the user.
Security Code
When programming Homelink using a DTMF telephone you must enter a
four digit security code before Homelink will let you change its options, see
page 18.
