Nextalarm ABN + Elk

[EST]

I just got the ABN, connected it, tested it, got the alarm call immediately on my cell phone. Everything works the way it is intended. My problem is calling into the Elk. I call the number, enter my secret numbers, rings twice like I have the Elk set up to do so, then it just clicks 2-3 times and disconnects. Any help with what settings it must have for this to work? It seemed straight forward in the instructions...nothing is ever straight forward though!!! This is one reason I bought it so I could call in b/c I couldn't do it with my regular phone service so I want to get this rolling.

Thanks

ABN works in a rather interesting way in that it calls the panel, hangs up and then calls again. The second code you enter is in fact your normal keypad arm/disarm code.

In globals set:

G14-G18 Telephone Control : Local and remote telephone control enabled
Ring hang Up Answer : 0

G29-G42 Rings until auto answer : 3
Two Way callback : 0 (I don't think this setting was needed)

These settings produce the quickest pickup... it can be shortened because of the way ABN calls twice.

Thanks BKLLC...the problem was the code. I didn't know it had to be my Elk code...thought it had to be anything and then I would enter my code once Elk picked up. Everything works now.
