This location sets the number of rings before the control panel answers an incoming call. Set
this count to an acceptable level, noting that one ring is “Ring, Ring – Ring, Ring” and that a
Ring Count of 10 represents approximately 60 sec. This location has an effect only if Remote
Arming, remote Upload/Download using A-Link Plus, or both are enabled. Programming this
location to 0 prevents the control panel from answering incoming calls regardless of other
programmed options.
Answering Machine Bypass
Answering Machine Bypass allows a connection with the control panel for Remote Arming or
Upload/Download when an answering machine or facsimile machine is on the same telephone
line. Answering Machine Bypass has two different methods. Program a 14 to use the
secondary method only when there is a large amount of traffic on the line (at a home office,
for example). This method reduces the chance of the control panel incorrectly answering an
incoming call.
Programming the Ring Count to 15 enables Answering Machine Bypass in the primary mode.
When calling the control panel, allow the telephone to ring no more than four times and then
hang up. If after 8 seconds you call again within 45 sec, the control panel answers the call on
the first ring and the connection is established. This prevents the answering machine or
facsimile machine from answering the call. To enable Answering Machine Bypass only when
the system is armed, select Option 2 in Location 177.
Program the Ring Count to 14 to enable Answering Machine Bypass in the secondary mode. In
this case, call the control panel and allow the phone to ring no more than twice and hang up.
Wait a minimum of 8 sec and call the control panel again. The control panel answers on the
first ring. If you do not wait the 8 sec, the control panel does not answer the call. To enable
Answering Machine Bypass only when the system is armed, select Option 2 in Location 177.
Notice!
Set the Ring Count for the answering machine or facsimile machine to a value greater than
two rings. Four to six rings is preferred.
Program a 0 into this location to disable the control panel from answering an incoming call.
