To Setup a Dial-up Connection to an Alarm Station
Fig. 11–6. Area Code Input Is Needed to Reach a Multi-Media Alarm Station.
1. While running Admin software to add or update an alarm station definition (as explained
in
Adding an Alarm Station: Name and Reports, p. 203), you will see either of the Add
Alarm Station/Update Alarm Station dialog boxes, illustrated in figure 11–6. The IP
Address box is left empty for a dial-up connection to an alarm station, except if a remote
access service (RAS) server, apart from the alarm station, is part of the connection. For
RAS servers, see
RAS Connection to an Alarm Station, on p. 216.
2. Click Use Dial-up Networking.
3. Leave the Country Code to “(dialing same country)”, unless the Multi-Media unit is in a
different country than the alarm station.
Use “(dialing same country)”. Only use a country’s name (such as “United States of
America (1)”) when the alarm station is in a different country from the Multi-Media unit.
4. Type the alarm station’s area code in the Area Code (City Code) box.
5. Type the alarm station’s telephone number in the Phone number box.
6. Type the alarm station’s PPP user name and PPP password in their boxes.
These can be obtained from your network administrator, as indicated in section
Overview.
7. Type the PPP password a second time, in the Confirm PPP Password box.
8. Click Save and Close. The Alarm Stations tab appears. In the tab’s Connection Method
column, a “(d)” appears, standing for “dial-up”, followed by the telephone number that
calls the Multi alarm station.
9. The next step is
Making an Alarm Station Operational; see p. 218.
