This page describes a few details about some features that may not be obvious in a quick browse of this manual. Trigon Electronics Doorman or TED: This function is available in all dialer modes. Basically, it acts like a Doorman and places itself between a Visitor and Resident.
Basic Programming In this section we will review the basics of programming the unit via touch tone or via local keypad. Touch Tone programming the unit obviously requires the unit to be powered and connected to a phone line that can be called. Even if the unit has a Modem installed, you are given a brief opportunity to use touch tones.
Basic Text Editing This page describes the method for Entering Text, such as people's names, into the units database for Directory, Visitor Greeting or Custom Prompts. Command to activate: #9# starts at beginning, or #9 123# starts at Resident Code 123. Note: For those that have programmed previous Trigon Products, this new method replaces the old method of entering text information! It was changed because this new method is far more intuitive and doesn't result in appreciably more key strokes than the former method.
Detail Programming Setup Values Setup refers to the basic values applied to normal operation. These would include such values as the time it takes to cycle an access gate or the maximum duration a phone call is allowed. All values are preset to factory defaults as the most commonly requested. In many cases little or no attention is required for this section.
Detail Programming Setup Values Continued Ring Hit Counter: (Defaults to 3) Command to set: 5n Where "n" is the number of rings counted before auto answering. When the unit is called ring hit cycles are counted. After the first ring hit, the unit will automatically absorb Caller ID if the Modem is installed.
Detail Programming Setup Values Continued Dialer Modes: (Defaults to 1) Command to set: 6n Where "n" is the method the unit employs for dialing functions. Options are: n=0 with call progress, false dial=off, verify dialtone=off n=1 without call progress, false dial=off, verify dialtone=off n=2 with call progress, false dial=on, verify dialtone=off...
Detail Programming Setup Values Continued Long ago we could determine the source of the tone by shutting off the microphone and testing if the tone disappeared. If the tone ceased, we knew it was being injected at the microphone. With the advent of speed dialers and short tone burst technology, this has now become an impossible task.
Detail Programming Setup Values Continued Site ID Code: (Defaults to 1234) Command to set: 1nnnn Where "nnnn" is the 4 digit site identification code. This command sets a 4 digit code that can be transmitted via touch tone upon request from a remote caller.
Detail Programming Setup Values Continued Operational Enables-2: (Defaults to 0) Command to set: 8*n Where "n" is the selection of modes enabled. Options are: N=0 MG3 Mode, NO TA3 Mode, NO Anti_Passback N=1 HF3 Mode, NO TA3 Mode, NO Anti_Passback N=2 MG3 Mode, YES TA3 Mode, NO Anti_Passback N=3 HF3 Mode, YES TA3 Mode, NO Anti_Passback N=4 MG3 Mode, NO TA3 Mode,...
Detail Programming Setup Values Continued Active Keypad: When enabled as an active keypad, this option allows transmission of touch tones from the keypad after the initial call has been answered. This allows navigating a PBX or special answering machine. It may also be abused if dial tone is ever restored without a disconnect signal.
Detail Programming Residences For this programming section Enter the Programming Mode using command sequence "*2468". Note: For MG3 residential dialers, push the call button first, then the code "*2468". You will remain in this programming mode until you choose to exit or it times out. Each command issued restarts the time out timer, which by default is usually 3 minutes.

Detail Programming Residences Continued To Edit Names on Units with an Electronic Directory use Command "#9": Enter: #9# Edit 1st Residents Name for Directory Display. Enter: #9 123# Edit Resident 123's Name for Directory Display. See Page-9 for details regarding the Keypad Text Editor. Setting and Deleting Entry Codes: Entry Codes can be assigned to a Resident or placed in a generic Entry Code Pool.
Page 20
Detail Programming Residences Continued As always, you must be in programming mode to issue programming commands. Site Codes, if enabled, can be left blank or defaulted to "000". In these cases they are completely ignored. If Site Codes are enabled and use the range 001 to 255 then they are active extensions to the Cards or Fobs involved for that resident.
Detail Programming Residences Continued As always, you must be in programming mode to issue programming commands. Residential Time Zone Codes: Each resident may be assigned a Time Zone restriction if this zoning option is available. To decide if your unit supports Resident Zone Codes use the view command *#1. Look for "RES ZONE=Y"...
Detail Programming Pooled Entry Codes As always, you must be in programming mode to issue programming commands. Entry codes are keyed into the unit via the keypad for the purpose of gaining entry to a secured area. Entry codes can be assigned to a resident or dropped into a general pool. Besides Entry Codes that are assigned to residents, this unit also supports Pooled Entry Codes.
Detail Programming Pooled Card Codes As always, you must be in programming mode to issue programming commands. Card Codes (or Fobs) can be assigned to a resident or dropped into a general pool. This unit supports dual wiegand 26-bit compatible inputs for Card Readers or Fob Receivers. Besides Card Codes that are assigned to residents, this unit also supports Pooled Card Codes.
Detail Programming Pooled Card Codes Continued Batch Loading Cards into Pooled Card Database using command 3#: 3#*# Install cards via reader with Site defaulted as 000 and Zone default as 00. 3#**# Install cards via reader with Site from the reader and Zone default as 00. 3#*22# Install cards via reader with Site defaulted to 000 and set Zone as 22.
Detail Programming Phone Lists Continued List-B is a special list that is used in the TA3 mode. TA3 stands for Tel-Alarm-3. This mode is mostly used for two button emergency and information dialers. In this mode the Postal Switch input is configured to be a secondary Hook Switch. Activating this 2nd Hook Switch forces the unit to dial like the normal hook switch, except the phone numbers are drawn from List-B.
Detail Programming Tone Functions Continued You can assign a different tone control scheme to these functions. You must also remember that the functions are processed in the order shown. This means that if you use the tone zero "0" to Cycle Gate-1, then tone zero "0" can't be used for any function beyond that point.
Detail Programming Greeting Screens If a Display is present and the Greeting Screens are enabled then the following applies. The greeting screen or screens supply addtional information to a visitor beyond the basic instruction screen, which is preset to factory defaulted text. You may supply extra instructions, rental information or simple greetings to visitors.
Detail Programming Time Zones This section applies only if your unit supports time zone functions. While Trigon has produced many products that have incorporated simple time zone functions, this product represents a full embracement of Time Zone Fuctionality. Basically, Time Zones define a period of time that declares a Window of opportunity. A time zone has a specific start time and ending time.
Page 29
Detail Programming Time Zones Continued So One Allow Window can be used to cover the whole work week. Then we need a group of Deny Windows to declare all the Holidays when we can't allow this worker to gain entry. So we define perhaps 7 Holidays as deny Windows.
Detail Programming Code Ranges Code Ranges is a simple table that applies a special function to a range of codes. Normally, a code is used to Grant Entry to a restricted area. This table allows you to map the function of granting access via relay 1 to another relay for example. It can also be used to map a range of codes to set an internal system Switch or activate a special event to be processed via a Macro Command.
Detail Programming Voice Recordings Trigon introduced a Voiced Message Response many years ago. This product has improved on many aspects of the original. The message may be recorded locally if the unit has a keypad or can be recorded from off site via a phoneline connection. The unit is sold with most messages pre-recorded using a professional voice announcer.
Detail Programming Macro Commands This unit may support user installed Macro Commands. These commands have been made available to assist in customizing your unit to your special needs. The program in this unit is broken into functional modules. Each module plays it's role with a starting point and ending point.
Page 33
Detail Programming Macro Commands Continued The macro commands are not designed to be fool proof as no computer language is truly fool proof. You might issue a macro command that has a strange effect. For example; you might request a command to clear the display and install it as a condition of a time zone. When the time zone becomes valid, the display could become useless, as it is continuously cleared until the time zone ends.
Page 34
Detail Programming Macro Commands Continued Each Event uses two lines of the display to view. The left side is a short description of the event and each top line is labled N1 N2 N3 N4 N5 N6 N7 N8 N9 N0 (N0 is actually N10). Of course you can't see all the numbered commands in one view so scroll across using the "0"...
