The Dial-Up page contains the following information:
Panel Phone Number
Enter the standard dial-up telephone number that the panel is connected to the server, for
example, “555-1234” (without the quotes). If you must “dial out” to get an outside line first
and you need to first dial a number such as “9” followed by a pause, enter the number as
“9,555-1234”. The comma is needed for a pause. If you must dial long distance, insert a “1”
before the area code, for example, “9,1-799-555-1234”.
Panel Dial Out Schedule
Set the Time Schedule that the panel can dial out to the host. For more detailed instructions
on how to set up a Time Schedule, see
“Setup - Time Schedules” on page
For example, if the time schedule is set for Monday - Friday from 06:00 - 18:00, then after 6
P.M. at night until 6 A.M. and all day Saturday and Sunday the panel would not be allowed to
contact the host PC.
Note: Click the link arrow to set up an additional Time Schedule. When setup has been
completed, close the window by clicking Save.
Server Phone number 1
Enter the primary phone number for the ACU panel to call the Server.
Server Phone number 2
Enter the secondary or backup phone number for the ACU to call the Server.
Server Dial Out Schedule
Enter the Time Schedule for the server (Host PC) to dial out to the ACU panel. This time
schedule is used to set when the server can contact the ACU to download new information.
If you only want the download to occur at night you could set the time schedule for Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays from 20:00 - 23:59. This low-traffic time would be the only time
that the server would contact the ACU and download new information to it.
Max. Connect Time
Enter the maximum time in minutes that the panel may stay connected. For example, if the
time is set for “15” then at the end of 15 minutes the panel automatically disconnects or
hangs up. The default is 60 minutes.
Max. Disconnect Time
Set the Maximum Disconnect Time for the ACU panel. This ensures that the panel is
regularly updated. If the server has not communicated with the field panel for the time set, it
contacts the ACU and sends updates, download history events, etc. The default is 1440
minutes or 24 hours.
Ignore Daylight Savings
Select if daylight saving time is to be ignored Yes or No for this ACU only. If the ACU panel
being configured is located in an area that does not observe Daylight Saving Time, then this
field should be set to Yes.
Time Offset (Hours)
The Time Offset is the difference (in hours) between the server clock time and the ACU clock
time, to enable you to adjust for time zone differences. For example, if the ACU is located in
another part of the country where the time is 2 hours later, the time offset would be 2 hours.
Comm. Overdue Message
From the drop-down list select the message to be displayed anytime communication fails to
the ACU. These messages are from the list of Alarm Instructions configured under Setup /
Alarm Options / Alarm Instructions. For information on how to configure a message, see
on page 189. For information on how to generate a list all configured
Instruction messages, see
Instruction Message Setup Report
