Programming DACT

With the DACT facility, the control unit can use one or two telephone lines, or a single Ethernet connection, to call a supervising station
(remote station or central station) and report a local alarm, trouble, or supervisory condition.
This section describes programming the DACT options to specify the characteristics of the DACT's phone connection, communication
format, and the format of the event or CID codes used by the supervising station.
