line (thus you will require the digi modem card (PCX-DIGI+ARM) and the other is directly; by using
an RS232 lead (PCX-RS232L) which connects into the PCX 256 expander card and your PC.

¾ Dial Back: permits the PC to dial the panel, which hangs up the call and dials the PC back to
establish communication.
¾ Panel Dials: does not allow the PC to dial into the panel at all.
All modes allow the panel to dial the PC without restriction. At any time, the panel can be forced to
dial the PC by entering the Manager menu and selecting the Dial Out Menu. Please see page 64.
