6XX series:
The range of settings that each option has is described below.
Dial port:
The Dial Port sub-menu has several options:
6.9.1.1
Monitor cable
Sets the terminal to monitor the dial port using
the 18K resistor (as supplied in the terminal
package box). This should be fitted across the A & B terminal of the 2-wire analog interface (alarm panel
telecoms module) and allows the terminal to report any status change back to the ARC. Note that this must
be fitted at the panel end of the connection to be effective.
The ARC will also need to enable the dial port monitoring (Panel) from the ISA software to receive alarm
notifications on this status.
6.9.1.2
Report polling fail
Click to enable the terminal to drop the line voltage on the dial port connection if it cannot poll over any
configured path to the ARC. This lets the panel detect and report locally on the keypad of the alarm panel
that it has a line fault, so the site has local indication of a communication failure (for EN standards).
6.9.1.3
Enable Ringtone
This feature lets you enable or disable the terminal simulating the PSTN ring-back tone to the dial port while
the connection is being made. Usually this can be left as the default setting but if you are having issues with
alarm panels not sending alarms, try turning this off.
6.9.1.4
Voice call alarm
This causes the terminal to send an alarm to the ARC if a call is made via the dial port connection. This alarm
is pre-coded as follows and is in either SIA or Contact ID format depending on the Pin Inputs setup.
