Voice Setup (Call-in and Call-out)
Call-in and Call-out are both functions that alert key support personnel to the current status of
The Commander SFCDWARE System. Both functions require the use of a touchtone telephone
line. Pushing the appropriate buttons on the touchtone keypad enters actions and responses to
the messages announced through the voice modem. Call-in and Call-out works similar to a voice
mail system. Simply listen to the voice menus and respond with touchtone digits as desired.
Call-in
Call-in is initiated by dialing the phone number of the line connected to the CCU. The CCU is
programmed to answer the call following a programmable number of rings. The user will be
prompted to enter a password before accessing the system. Any password that is currently in the
call list for any username will be accepted for the Call-in function. Note: Wait for the voice prompt
to end before entering password.
After a valid password is entered, the user may listen to all current alarms in the system. The user
may also Acknowledge Alarms in the system.
Call-out
Call-out is initiated by the SFCDWARE System software when an alarm condition occurs that has
been selected to call out (e.g. Intrusion) and is not Acknowledged or Reset before the Call-out
Time Delay expires. The Call-out sequence is based on a user priority level from 0-9 with 0 being
the highest priority. There must always be at least one 0 level priority user to enable the Call-out
feature to operate. For the Call-out function, only the password associated with the phone
number called will be considered valid. If the key support person who answers the call
acknowledges even one alarm, the calling sequence is terminated and no other users will be
called until the next Alarm event occurs. If no alarms are Acknowledged, the SFCDWARE
System will initiate another Call-out in five minutes to the phone number associated with the next
higher priority number, providing the Alarm that triggered the Call-out has not cleared in the
meantime.
