Linear RE-1 manual Programming Access, Programming with a Computer, System Requirements

PROGRAMMING ACCESS

The RE-1 can be programmed locally or remotely. The system’s built-in programming software can be accessed on-site or off-site using a computer with any Internet browser.

Without a computer, the RE-1 can be programmed from its main keypad, from any local TouchTone® telephone connected to the same line, or from any remote TouchTone® telephone by calling the unit. To guide you through the programming, the RE-1’s voice synthesizer will announce programming prompts over the telephone.

Programming with a Computer

Navigating through the RE-1’s programming “pages” is similar to browsing through your favorite web site’s pages. Anyone familiar with the Internet will fi nd programming the RE-1 with a computer very easy. The RE-1’s memory contains the “pages” that the computer will view. When selections and changes are made on the computer, the RE-1’s memory is programmed to your custom settings.
