Alarm Acknowledgment
When CellStat
TM
calls you, you may wish to respond to the call differently depending on
what type of alarm has occurred, who is on duty, the time of day, severity of the alarm,
etc.
If you wish the dialer to go to the next phone number on its calling list, hang up the
phone. The dialer will continue on after the call spacing delay to the next phone number
on the list until it receives an acknowledgment or the unlatched alarm goes away by
itself.
If you wish to acknowledge the call from your touch-tone phone, press the ‘*’ key on
your telephone while the alarm message is being spoken. The dialer will respond by
reporting that the alarms are acknowledged. If you then need access to the remote
programming commands, enter the 2 digit access code when CellStat
TM
prompts you.
After gaining access to the dialer, you may review or modify any of the dialer’s
configuration data.
NOTE: If you don’t have a touch-tone phone, you can acknowledge the alarm call by
hanging up the phone and calling the dialer back within the call-spacing
period(One minute). When the dialer answers the telephone call, all fault
conditions will be acknowledged.
Checking System Status
CellStat
TM
allows for easy checking of system status and capability. Spoken reports of
your entire dialer-monitored system can easily be generated.
A spoken system status report can be received from the dialer by entering the following
command from a touch-tone telephone either locally, or remotely after answering or
calling the dialer: The dialer will speak a voice message of system name and current
alarms or normal status. It will also report the current cellular signal strength and
remaining balance in the prepaid cellular account.
