To Delay the Extension Suffix
• To delay the dialing to the extension as needed, type commas in the box. Each comma adds a
one-second delay. For example: 9,,, 555-1212,,,,,,,,226
introduces an eight second delay (eight commas would produce eight seconds of delay) before
dialing the final “226”. See also the previous section, Dial-up Connection to an Alarm Station.
Telephone exchange at a Rapid Eye site.
There are two cases for a prefix number—that extra telephone keystroke such as a “9” or an “8”
that needs to be dialed before an alarm station’s number. For Multi-Media units using the same
alarm station, either:
• The exchange is shared. In the alarm station definition, add a prefix in the Phone Number box,
before the telephone number. You can use commas as needed to delay the dialing of the
extension until the alarm station’s exchange answers. See
Dial-up Connection to an Alarm
Station, above.

• The exchange is not shared. You will have to add the prefix before the telephone number, site-
by-site as needed, in the Update Station to Call in Case of Alarms box, obtained by updating
the alarm station listed on the Sites tab. This is illustrated in figure
11–9, on p. 212 and in
section Customizing a Dial-Up Connection to an Alarm Station, p. 51.
International Dial-up
Fig. 11–10. International Prefixes for Use of Rapid Eye Software in North America.
The prefixes are used for units that dial-up to alarm stations. Your Rapid Eye site might not need
this type of customization to its dial-up connection to an alarm station. For other means of
connecting to an alarm station, see table
11–2, p. 204.
Planning for a few international units
If only a few units reporting to an alarm station are outside of the alarm station’s country, it is more
effective to add the prefixes, site-by-site as needed, in the Update Station to Call in Case of Alarms
box, obtained by updating the alarm station listed on the Sites tab. See
Customizing a Dial-Up
Connection to an Alarm Station, p.
51.
