The panel retains this alarm receiver key in memory and allows remote commands
to be accepted over the dialer from the alarm receiver. If an alarm occurs during
a remote connect, the alarm report is immediately sent to the alarm receiver and
does not appear at the remote programming software.
YES also enables remote commands and programming to be accepted from a
secondaryreceiverotherthanthealarmSCS-1RReceiver.Thepanelrequests

becomes the service receiver key. The panel retains this service receiver key in
memory and accepts remote commands from the service receiver. If an alarm occurs
during a remote connect, the panel disconnects from the service receiver and calls
the alarm receiver. Alarm reports are only sent to the alarm receiver.
It is important that the alarm receiver key and the service receiver key programmed

7.4.1 Armed Answer Rings

Enter the number of rings the panel counts before answering the phone line when
allsystemareasarearmed.Anynumberfrom0to15canbeentered.If0(zero)
is entered, the panel does not answer the phone when all system areas are armed.
Thedefaultis8(eight).
Answering machine bypass procedure:Enteringanumbergreaterthan0(zero)into
either Armed Rings or Disarmed Rings, allows a central station operator to connect
remotely with the panel.
How it works: The operator calls the panel, allows the telephone to ring one time,
and then hangs up. The panel stores this as an attempt to communicate. The
operator then calls back within 30 seconds. The panel seizes the telephone line to
allow remote programming.
Note: This feature does not interfere with the normal operation of the Arm Rings or
Disarm Rings functions.
