Note: The programming options listed below vary according to what type of connection you
select in the Type field discussed above.
Phone : Enter the phone number to dial to access the modem on the panel. This field
appears when you select SCS-1
/ SCS-105 or Modem in the Type field.
Note: If you need to dial a number to access an outside line, enter that number before the
panel's phone number. Also, enter a P for a pause after dialing the number to access the
outside line. For example, if you need to dial 9 to get an outside line, enter 9P then the
panel's phone number.
Note: Modems from some manufacturers require a comma (,) for a pause rather than the
letter P. Check your Modem documentation before entering the panel phone number.
Cfg Button: Click the Cfg (Configure) button beside the Phone field to open a dialog box
that allows you to configure the 462FM. A pop-up window allows you to configure the
462FM. This button appears when you select Modem in the Type field.
Ring Count : Enter the number of times the site phone rings before the 462FM
picks up. Enter a number between 1 and 15. The default is 1 ring. You must
increase the Dial Time Out in the Modem Tab about 10 seconds per ring.
Set Modem: Click this button to dial the phone number programmed in Panel
Information. When the 462FM picks up, the Ring Count is stored in the 462FM
Module's programming. After the 462FM has stored the number, the 462FM
disconnects from System Link. A pop-up window appears stating, “Ring Count
successfully sent.”

panel. This field appears when you select SCS-1
/ SCS-105 or Modem in the Type field.

the subscriber's panel.

If the panel is an ePAD or an iCOM

COM Port : From the COM Port drop-down menu, select which COM port your computer
should use to communicate with your panel. This field appears when you select Direct in
the Type field.
Baud Rate : Set the Baud Rate to 9600. The only time you may want to select a slower
baud rate is if you are using a direct cable connection and you are having communication
problems. If you change the baud rate setting, you must also change the setting on the
462N card connect to the panel. This appears when you select Direct in the Type field.
