Delay Between Dialing Attempts
Section [076]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = disabled; Default = 20 seconds
This delay determines the amount of time the Magellan console will wait between each dialing attempt.
Alternate Dial Option
Section [098]: Option [5]
Option [5] OFF = Alternate Dial Disabled (default) Option [5] ON = Alternate Dial Enabled
With option [5] OFF, the Magellan console will dial the programmed backup telephone number CSTN 2 (See CSTN 2 as Backup Number on page 26) only after all attempts to call one CSTN have failed. With option [5] ON, the console will dial the backup telephone number after every failed attempt.
Force Dial Option
Section [098]: Option [6]
Option [6] OFF = Force Dial Disabled (default)
Option [6] ON = Force Dial Enabled
When option [6] is enabled, the Magellan console will dial a telephone number even if no dial tone is present after 3 seconds.
Dialing Method
Section [098]: Option [7]
Option [7] OFF = Pulse Dialing
Option [7] ON = Tone / DTMF Dialing (default)
When option [4] is ON, the Magellan console is set for Tone/ DTMF dialing. When option [4] is OFF, the console is set for pulse dialing. Refer to Pulse Ratio on page 28 for information on setting the pulse ratio.
Pulse Ratio
Section [098]: Option [8]
Option [8] OFF = European Pulse Ratio of 1:2 Option [8] ON = U.S.A. Pulse Ratio of 1:1.5 (default)
When using Pulse dialing, you can select one of two Pulse Ratios. Although most European countries use the 1:2 pulse ratio, the 1:1.5 ratio may provide better results in some cases. The same applies for North American countries. If the 1:1.5 pulse ratio is not providing the desired results, the 1:2 ratio may be used.
Switch to Pulse Dialing on 5th Attempt
Section [098]: Option [3]
Option [3] OFF = Switch to pulse dialing on fifth attempt disabled (default)
Option [3] ON = Switch to pulse dialing on fifth attempt enabled
When section [098] option [3] is ON, the Magellan console switches from tone/DTMF dialing to pulse dialing on the fifth attempt to report events to the Central Monitoring Station. The console continues to use pulse dialing until it establishes
communication. When the console switches to another CSTN, it returns to tone/DTMF dialing and will once again switch to pulse dialing on the fifth attempt.
Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)
Section [098]: Options [1] and [2]
When enabled, the system verifies the existence of a telephone line once every second. A line test failure occurs when the TLM detects less than 3 volts for the period defined by the TLM Fail Timer (page 28). If the line test fails, the Magellan console generates one or more conditions as defined by the TLM settings below. These will be restored when the console detects the telephone line again.

Please note that when the dialer detects an incoming call, the TLM test will stop for 1 minute.
TLM Fail Timer
Section [073]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = Disabled; Default = 32 seconds
If TLM does not detect the existence of a telephone line for the duration of this period, the control panel will generate the condition(s) defined by the TLM options (see Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM) on page 28).
Recent Close Delay
Section [066]: 001 to 255 seconds; 000 = Disabled; Default = Disabled
If after having armed the system, an alarm is generated within the period defined by the Recent Close Delay, the Magellan console will attempt to transmit the Recent Close report code programmed in section [139] (page 24).
