Answer Incoming Call On X Rings; Answer Incoming Call - Enable / Disable - DKS 1812 Classic Installation & Owner's Manual

2.3.6 Answer Incoming Call on X Rings

Factory setting is 12 (12 Rings).
This programming section sets the number of rings that the 1812 will allow to pass through the system before it picks up
the call to allow remote programming or remote relay activation of the system. The number of rings to answer can be set
from 1 to 99 rings and must be entered as a two-digit number.
For example, if you want the 1812 to answer the call after the sixth ring, enter 0 6
Once the number of rings has been programmed, the system's "answer incoming call" MUST also be enabled for this to
function (See 2.3.7 below).
Important! If more than one 1812 is connected in the system (2.3.2 set for multiple systems), the ALL 1812s that are
connected directly to the homeowner's phone must have the "Answer Incoming Call" set for the SAME number of rings
AND more rings than the answering machine's number of rings.
Examples:
Homeowner's
Phone
Homeowner's
Phone
Answering Machine/Service Note: If the homeowner has an answering machine or answering service on their phone, this
may present a problem. If the answering machine/service is set to answer on the fourth ring, and the 1812 is set to answer
on the 6th ring, the answering machine/service will always pick-up the call before the 1812 does. On the other hand, if the
1812 is set to answer on the fourth ring, and the answer machine/service is set to pick-up the call on the 5th ring, the 1812
will always answer the call unless the answer incoming call is disabled (See 2.3.7 below).

2.3.7 Answer Incoming Call - Enable / Disable

Factory setting is 0 (Disable).
The 1812 can be programmed to answer calls placed to the home from an off-site phone line. When this feature is enabled,
the 1812 will pick-up the call after the number of rings programmed in section 2.3.6. This then allows remote programming
or remote relay activation of the system. If this feature is disabled, the 1812 will not answer any call regardless of the
number of rings programmed in 2.3.6.
