Programming the Control for Phone Access
To program the control for phone access using the 4285/4286 VIP Module, you must assign a
VIP Module access code (
✱
26) and ring detection count (
✱
95). Also, you may optionally select
words and/or form custom words that would be displayed on the keypad. Refer to THE DATA
FIELD DESCRIPTION and ALPHA DESCRIPTOR PROGRAMMING sections for specific
programming details.
Perform a preliminary check of the VIP Module, as indicated next.
Checking the Operation of the VIP Module
To Check VIP Module Operation From an On-Premises Phone
1. Pick up the phone and enter the programmed 2-digit VIP Module access code.
Annunciation of a system status report should automatically start. See the User Guide
accompanying the VIP Module for detailed information regarding the nature of the status
report, if necessary.
2. During any pause in the status report, or immediately following it, key the following via
the keypad on the phone:
4111 (Installer code) + 1 (OFF).
You should hear a beep on the phone and from a wired keypad. You should also hear the
words, "Disarmed...Ready to Arm" or "Disarmed...Not Ready to Arm," indicating that
the command was entered successfully. (The voice message, "Disarmed...Not Ready to
Arm" indicates an open zone).
3. Hang up the phone.
To Check VIP Module Operation from an Off-Premises Phone:
1. Have someone dial the premises phone number, using a TouchTone phone.
•
If the phone system does not include an answering machine, the caller hears 2 long
tones, followed by a voice prompt "
HELLO, ENTER PHONE CODE NOW
.
" The caller
must enter the programmed 2-digit phone code (entered in field
✱
28,
PHONE)
MODULE ACCESS CODE)
.
•
If the premises phone system includes an answering machine, the 2-digit phone
code must be entered during a pause at the beginning of, or during, the outgoing
answering machine message. Then the caller hears a voice prompt asking for entry of
the 4-digit system code ("
ENTER SYSTEM CODE NOW
").
2. The caller should then enter the Installer Code (4111). As a safety feature, there is a 3-
try limit in which to enter each code (phone code and system code), after which time the
call-in is aborted. Also, if no keys are pressed for a period of 20 seconds, the call-in is
aborted.
Annunciation of a system status report will start if both codes were entered correctly.
3. During any pause in the status report, or immediately following it, the caller should key
the following via the keypad on the phone:
Installer Code (4111), then 1 (OFF).
The caller should hear a beep from the phone and a wired keypad on the premises. The
caller should also hear the words "Disarmed...Ready to Arm" or "Disarmed...Not
Ready to Arm" on the phone, indicating that the command was entered successfully.
"Disarmed...Not Ready to Arm" would indicate an open zone.
4. At this point, the caller can hang up the phone.
5. Verify with the caller that there was successful access to the system and that the
appropriate voice announcements were heard over the phone.
6. If the VIP Module functioned satisfactorily, unplug the AC transformer from the AC
outlet.
