Multi-Media Alarm Stations

Irregular area code use

Why customize? When a unit is not in the same area code as its alarm station, sometimes a local call can be used when the alarm station is close by. Figure 11–8illustrates this possibility and others.

You can customize an alarm station’s:

•Long distance codes, for irregular and toll-free uses

•Dialing speed, by using a delay code - or -

•Telephone exchange, at the Rapid Eye site or at the alarm station.

A copy of the telephone number in the alarm station definition is available for customization at each site definition, in its Report Alarms to these Alarm Stations pane. For example, in figure 11–9,long distance and Chicago area codes “1 773” were added to the local number, for a site that requires an irregular long distance call within one area code. A customized number is not shared with other sites. The customization is shown by an asterisk, at (3).

Tip

The alarm station telephone number in the site definition is the one that is actually used to dial to an alarm station.
