Dialer Communication Failure

[dbinaz]

Anyone have anymore info on what this error means exactly? Elk can call out.

Has your dialer been working?

I vaguely remember something about having to reset the dialer by changing the country code or some such issue before I could start using it.

i just got up and running today. I cyced the elk and it went away. but i assume it will come back if the alarm trips.

Try this to reset the dialer settings: Using ELKRP change the country code to something other than United States, then change it back to United States. This resets some of the dialer settings.

Also, using the keypad menu 8, 6, 4, check the "Last On Hook Voltage" to make sure you are above 40 volts on the telephone line.

If you get a telephone communicator failure, you will have to get a good communication to the central station before it will go away or recycle power will clear the error also.

You can use the "Butt Set Monitor" mode, keypad menu 8,4,3 "Turn On Butt Set Mode" and listen to the transmission to the central station through a speaker attached to output 1. You should hear dial tone, the telephone number dial, a 2300 hz tone from the central station, touchtone data transmitted, a 2300 hz tone, then hangup.

Still waiting for my ABN from nextalarm.

Why are you using this? We're running NextAlarm without the ABN box.

They said it was required if you use vonage or any other voip.
