Conﬁguring the alarm panel
Refer to the panel’s installation manual to conﬁgure the following options:

Enable the PSTN dialer of the panel.
Select DTMF mode (Tone Dialing).
Select Contact ID Full communication format or SIA.
Enter a telephone number for dialing (you can use any number, e.g. 9999999).
Enter a 4-digit account number in the panel.

Troubleshooting the DTMF communication

If you have issues receiving the events, try the following additional settings of the panel:

Disable “Telephone line monitoring”.
Disable “Wait for dial tone” option.
Use “A” instead of “0” in the account number.
If there is more than one partition, enter an account number for each partition. For certain panels, you might need also to specify an account number for the main partition 0 (sometimes referred as system number).

Remote Arming/Disarming via Keyswitch (Optional)

Conﬁgure a zone as a momentary keyswitch (refer to the panel’s installation manual).
Conﬁgure a PGM output of the panel to activate (switch to ground), when the panel is armed, and to deactivate, when disarmed (refer to the panel’s installation manual).
Wire the device to the panel according to the Keyswitch wiring diagram (Page 1).
For panels that don’t have a status PGM, the status can be received through the OPEN/CLOSE reporting.

Guidelines for conﬁguring the keyswitch and the output for popular panels are available at support.m2mservices.com
