The Set Up Dial menu is used to configure all of the telephone related items for the OmniPro II. To enter the Set Up Dial menu, from the Setup menu, press the 4 (DIAL) key.

Telephone Access

The Telephone Access item allows you to turn the local (in-house) and remote telephone control feature on and off.

If set to On, the OmniPro II will allow local and remote telephone access as described in Telephone Control. If set to Off, the OmniPro II will not answer incoming calls ever, and will not work on the in house phones. Dial outs will still occur, and the system will operate normally when the OmniPro II dials out.

If you do not have your OmniPro II connected to a phone line, set Telephone Access to Off to keep the system from displaying "PHONE LINE DEAD". The default setting for Telephone Access is On.

Answer Outside Call

If you do not want your system to Answer Outside Call, set this item to No. The local (in-house) telephone control features will still work, but the system will never answer an incoming call.

The default setting for Answer Outside Call is Yes.

Remote Commands

The Remote Commands Ok item allows you to prevent any commands from being issued from a remote telephone.

If Remote Commands Ok is set to Yes, the OmniPro II will allow all commands to be executed when called from a remote telephone. If Remote Commands Ok is set to No, then lights, appliances, and the security system cannot be controlled from a remote telephone that dials into your home.

You can issue commands from a local (in-house) phone with Remote Commands Ok set to Yes or No. The default setting is Yes.

Rings Before Answer

Your phone must ring this number of times before the OmniPro II will answer an incoming call to your phone.

To change Rings Before Answer, enter the new number from 1 to 15, then press the ' # ' key. The factory default setting is 8.

Dial Type

The Dial Type specifies the type of dialing used when the OmniPro II dials out. If you do not have Touch-Tone service, then Dial Type must be set to Pulse.

The default Dial Type is Tone.

My Phone Number

My Phone Number is the phone number that will be announced when the OmniPro II dials out in the event of an alarm. It should be set to the phone number of the premises where your system is installed.

To enter phone numbers, press the keypad keys 0 - 9. You can put in a dash (-) for legibility by pressing the Off key.

Press the ' # ' key after you have pressed all of the digits in the phone number. For example, to enter the number 555-1234, press 555 "OFF" 1234 #.
