RPS Passcode Default: 999999
Selections: 0 to 9, A to F (6 characters required)
This parameter verifies that the RPS operator has valid access to connect to the control panel.
Enter six characters. Do not use SPACE in the passcode.
The control panel provides an RPS passcode configuration option. This option accepts up to 24 characters, but will allow shorter passcodes. The minimum
passcode length is six characters and it is case sensitive. When RPS connects to the control panel, the correct passcode must be supplied before the control panel will allow RPS to access any configuration data or control functions.
The RPS passcode defaults to "999999" in the control panel. In an RPS default account, the passcode is also "999999". A default RPS account can connect to a default control panel without modifying the RPS passcode in either the RPS account or in the control panel.

Log % Full Default: 0
Selections: 0 to 99
0 (zero)- This setting disables the LOG THRESHOLD and LOG OVERFLOW events.
These events are not put in the log nor reported to the central station
receiver. The control panel continues to log events after the LOG THRESHOLD report is sent. When it reaches 100% capacity (memory logger is full and previously stored events will be overwritten), the control panel generates a local LOG OVERFLOW event.
This parameter determines how full the memory log should be before initiating a call to RPS at the central station. This allows the central station to call the control panel and copy the memory log before messages could be overwritten.
The control panel does not call RPS again until it downloads the log and the Log % Full percentage is again reached. These events are also sent to the control panel's event log.

Contact RPS if Log % Full Default: No
Selections: Yes/No
This parameter enables the control panel to automatically contact RPS when the ―Log
% Full‖ limit is reached.

RPS Call Back Default: No
Selections: Yes/No
Yes When the control panel hears the proper RPS passcode, it hangs up the phone, seizes the phone line, then dials the programmed RPS phone number Refer to RPS Phone #. This ensures that only the control panel communicates with the RPS PC connected to the dialed phone number.
No The RPS session is initiated immediately; no call back is required. The control panel engages in RPS sessions when called from any phone number and a proper RPS passcode is identified.
IMPORTANT: When using the RPS Callback function, enter a "C" as the last digit in the RPS phone number if DTMF dialing is used.
This parameter allows the control panel, after it has verified the RPS passcode, to provide an additional level of security by hanging up and dialing the RPS phone number to call RPS at the central station prior to allowing any upload or download.

RPS Line Monitor Default: Yes Selections: Yes/No
Yes This setting allows the control panel to communicate with RPS after the answering machine has answered the phone.
No Use this setting if the control panel is not sharing the phone line with an answering machine.
This parameter enables a control panel that shares a phone line with an answering machine to communicate with RPS at the central station even though the answering machine has answered the phone. You must set Answer Armed and/or Answer Disarmed, and the control panel must be in the proper armed state.
IMPORTANT:
If RPS Call Back is set to Yes, the control panel hangs up the phone after the RPS tone and a proper RPS passcode is identified, then it calls the RPS phone
number.
Set this parameter to No if it causes false seizures of the phone line, or if you are not using RPS. This would indicate that a device using the same frequency tone is also using the phone line to which the control panel is connected.

Answer Armed Default: 7
Selections: 0 to 15 (rings)
0 (zero) This setting disables answering the phone.
1 to 15 Use this setting to have the control panel answer the phone after the specified number of rings when all areas are All On
IMPORTANT: RPS considers Part On as a disarmed state.
This parameter sets the telephone ring counter to answer when all areas are All On. If any area in the control panel is Part On or disarmed, the Answer Disarmed ring counter is used.

RPS Phone # Default: Blank
Selections: Up to 24 characters
This parameter specifies the phone number the control panel dials to contact RPS.
The control panel dials the programmed number using RPS Phone # as a result of the following events:
Log % Full threshold is achieved (if enabled).
The control panel is contacted by RPS and RPS Call Back is programmed Yes
User selects MENU > Actions > RPS > Call Via Phone (only one attempt is made).
If this parameter is left empty (blank), the control panel does not dial a phone number for RPS. Refer to Phone 1,2,3,4 when programming this parameter.
