Chapter 6: Acknowledgment,
Status Report, and
Remote Access
In addition to communication and alarm monitoring
capabilities, the Model 1108 will also respond to your
instructions and provide you with access to information on
monitored conditions at all times.
By issuing commands to the unit, either at the installation site
or over standard telephone lines, the following features may be
activated:
• Acknowledgment of existing alarms
• The Status Report on all monitored conditions.
6.1 Alarm Acknowledgment
When the Model 1108 dials out with an alarm message, it will
request acknowledgment before hanging up. Acknowledgment
indicates to the unit that the alarm message has been received.
Upon acknowledgment, the Model 1108 will cancel the dial-out
sequence.
There are three ways* that an alarm is acknowledged directly:
• Local Acknowledgment
• Touch-Tone
TM
Acknowledgment
• Callback Acknowledgment
* A fourth method of alarm acknowledgment is indirect. Refer
to Max Calls, Chapter 4, Section 4.12 for an example of
automatic alarm acknowledgment.
6.1.1 Local Acknowledgment
To acknowledge an alarm locally (directly at the installation
site of the Model 1108), press any key.
6.1.2 Touch-Tone
TM
Acknowledgment
This method of remote alarm acknowledgment works with a
Touch-Tone
TM
telephone.
