1 - SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Landmark system is a single-line telephone entry system that connects directly to your telephone line. Thus, you are called without the system having to dial through the telephone company's central office. As a result, the Landmark does not generate telephone charges either on a monthly or per call basis. The Landmark is capable of carrying out the following functions: 1. Visitor entry: The visitor presses a "#" key on the system's keypad. This switches your telephone line to the system and rings your telephone. You can then communicate with the visitor and allow entry at the main door or gate by dialing a "9". If the system is controlling a second door or gate, you would dial "5" to allow entry at that location. PLEASE NOTE: If you have more than one Landmark installed at your residence (hereafter referred to as a multiple unit installation), when you allow access to a visitor by pressing the "9" or the "5" on your telephone, the system will only allow the visitor entry at the door/gate connected to that specific Landmark. For example, if you have a Landmark unit at the front gate and at a rear gate and a visitor calls you from the front gate, you will only be able to allow the visitor access to the premises through the front gate. You will not be able to allow that visitor access through the rear gate unless he/she places a separate call from the rear gate unit. This feature prevents you from accidentally opening additional doors/gates and allowing entry to unwanted visitors. 2. Call Waiting: If your telephone is in use when the visitor presses the "#" key, you will hear 2 short tones to signal that a visitor is attempting to call. You can then dial a "2" and the outside call in progress will be put on hold and the telephone will be connected to the visitor. If you allow entry (as described above), you will be automatically switched back to the outside call in progress. You can also deny entry, hang the visitor up, and switch back to the call in progress by dialing a " ". Alternatively, if you are talking with a visitor and you receive a normal phone call, you will hear two short tones at which point you can put the visitor on hold and switch over to the normal telephone call by dialing a "2" and back again to the visitor by dialing a "2" again. If you forget that either the visitor or the normal phone call was left on hold and you hang up, your phone will ring (up to three times) with the call that was left on hold. You just pick up the telephone and continue your conversation with that party that was put on hold. In a multiple unit installation, only two phone calls can be taken at one time. For example, if you are on the phone with a regular call, and you get a visitor call from one unit, the call waiting beeps will sound and you can allow or deny entry. If, however, at that same time, another visitor calls from a different unit, he or she will get a busy signal and will have to wait until you have hung up or terminated one of the other calls. 3. Entry Codes: You (and any one else you authorize) can have a unique 4-digit entry code. When this code is entered on the keypad, it will cause the door to open. The Landmark can have up to 50 different entry codes programmed into it. 4. Gate/Door monitoring: The installer can place sensors on the gate or door that the system controls to monitor the status. You can program the Landmark to respond in one of the following ways if the door/gate is forced open or is held open 60 seconds after it should have been closed. Page 2 of 16 Doc.#: 6001008 Rev.#: 5140
a. Alarm Call: The system will first call a pre-programmed outside telephone line and send a message via modem. If there is no modem at the pre-programmed number or no answer after 60 seconds, the system will call you. If you do not have a modem, you will hear a series of tones after answering the phone. Pressing any key on their tone dial telephone will acknowledge that someone has received the alarm call and the system will connect the answering phone to the Landmark that has generated the alarm. The system will then turn on the audio to the answering phone so you can talk through the system to ward off intruders. If you do not wish to be connected to the Landmark, do not press a key on the telephone keypad and hang up the receiver. b. Close a relay: If relay 2 is programmed as an alarm relay, the system will close that relay to activate a device the installer has connected to it, for example, a siren. 5. Free exit through a monitored gate: The system can provide free exit through either controlled entry to allow exit without causing a forced open condition. 6. Direct resident control of doors/gates: The controlled doors or gates can be activated directly from your tone dial telephone. 7. Resident originated communications: You can originate communications through the Landmark at any time that an outside call is not in progress by picking up your telephone and dialing "##6". This call will terminate automatically in 60 seconds unless you hang up sooner or extends the talk time by pressing a "1" on your telephone. 8. Resident remote programming: The Landmark system can be remotely programmed from your tone dial telephone. See Section 8 of this manual for a more detailed discussion of this feature. 9. Off-site remote programming: The Landmark system can be remotely programmed from any outside tone dial telephone. See section 8 of this manual for a more detailed discussion of this feature. 10. Remote diagnostics: The Landmark system can be called using a terminal connected to a Hayes compatible modem or a personal computer running terminal emulation software connected to a Hayes compatible modem. You can access the information concerning the system's operating parameters and the entry codes programmed into the system. See section 9 for a more detailed discussion of this feature. 11. Call forwarding: The Landmark system can be programmed to call an outside telephone number when a visitor presses a "#" key on the front panel of the system. This will enable you to allow access to a visitor from a remote location. 12. Intercom operation: The Landmark system can be used as an in-house intercom by allowing any phone in the house to call other phones in the house using a distinctive ring. When you use this feature, you will assign a designated ring count to each chosen person. When called, all phones on the same line will ring simultaneously. The person who is intended to answer the phone will hear their designated ring count and will pick up the phone. When they pick up the phone, the paged resident will be directly connected to the person making the call. Additionally, the Landmark will provide this feature even if there is no telephone line present from the phone company. Rev.#: 5140 Doc.#: 6001008 Page 3 of 16
2 - BASIC PROGRAMMING RULES This section covers general rules about programming the Landmark system. If you master these basic rules, you will have little trouble programming the system correctly. ENTERING AND EXITING THE PROGRAM MODE Before you begin programming, your programming source must be activated. Note: Your programming password may not be entered using pulse dial (rotary) telephone. The Landmark can be programmed from one of three programming sources: 1. Keypad mounted to the faceplate: Enter three asterisks (" ") followed by the 6-digit user defined password (factory set to 000000). The unit will respond with 1 beep. 2. Resident's telephone: Enter three asterisks (" ") followed by the 6-digit user defined password (factory set 000000). The unit will respond with 1 beep. 3. Off-site remote telephone: Dial the resident's telephone number on a tone dialing telephone and wait for the system to automatically answer (the number of rings it will take the system to answer is set in step 05 in section 4 of this manual). Enter three asterisks (" ") followed by the 6-digit user defined password (factory set 000000). The unit will respond with 1 beep. Note: Programming from a remote telephone may still be accomplished when an answering machine answers the line before the programmed number of rings. The remote programmer only has to enter the three asterisks (" ") and the 6-digit user password to enter the programming mode. After you have completed programming the Landmark, you can exit the program mode after a programming step has been successfully completed and a single tone is heard. You can then press the " " key from your programming source to exit the program mode. COMPLETING A DATA ENTRY When programming the Landmark, the step number is entered, then the data is entered, and finally the "#" key is pressed to enter the information to the system's memory. If the "step" and "data" information are correct, the unit will respond with a single tone after the "#" key is pressed. ERROR CODES AND SIGNALS The speaker or handset will emit a hi-low tone to signify an error condition. If you realize in the middle of an entry that you have made an error, press the " " key. This will cancel the command. You may then re-enter your command. If the input falls outside of the acceptable range, the system will emit a hi-low tone that signifies an error condition. The system will wait for the properly entered "step" and "data". MULTIPLE UNIT PROGRAMMING When there are multiple Landmarks installed and the units are to be programmed from your telephone or a remote telephone, the unit ID code must be inserted between the asterisks and the six digit password. The unit ID code is a single digit, in the range of 1 to 4, and is associated with one unit in a multiple unit installation. The unit ID code is automatically set during initial system setup, but may change if changes are made to the configuration of the installation of the Landmarks. You can check a unit's ID by going into programming Page 4 of 16 Doc.#: 6001008 Rev.#: 5140
at the unit and pressing "55#". The unit will respond with the number of tones corresponding to its ID number. A single unit will always have an ID of 1. PROGRAMMING LIMITATIONS The programming mode may not be entered during a visitor call or during an "alarm call". Rev.#: 5140 Doc.#: 6001008 Page 5 of 16
3 - THE MAIN PROGRAMMING MENU Once you have entered the programming mode, the programming steps shown in the table below are available for your use. This outline of steps should be used as a reference after you have completely read and understood each of the programming steps. Each of these programming steps are discussed in detail in the following pages and include an explanation of what you are trying to accomplish in each area. STEP PURPOSE DIGITS ACCEPTABLE INPUT 01 Set programming access code 6 0 thru 9 02 Set ring mode 1 0=single, 1=double 03 Enable/disable stand-alone mode 1 0=disable, 1=enable 04 Enable/disable call waiting 1 0=off, 1=on 05 Set answer ring count 1 1 thru 9 06 Set talk time 3 015 to 255 07 Set relay 2 configuration 1 0=Cnt, 1=Shunt, 2=Alarm, 3=CCTV 08 Set relay 1 activation time in seconds 2 01 thru 99 09 Set relay 2 activation time in seconds 2 01 thru 99 10 Set number of strikes and out 1 1 thru 9 14 Enter alarm call number up to 10 0 thru 9 15 Set call forwarding "destination" number up to 10 0 thru 9 16 Enter entry code 4 0 thru 9 17 Erase entry code 4 0 thru 9 18 Erase all entry codes 1 0=do not erase, 1=erase + ### 19 Enable/disable off-site remote programming 1 0=disable, 1=enable 20 Enable/disable alarm call 1 0=disable, 1=enable 21 Setting Unit ID Numbers (Multiple-Unit Installations Only) 2 number of unit + total number of units in chain + # 79 Latch relay 1 for XXX minutes 3 000 to 999 minutes 75 Latch relay 2 for XXX minutes 3 000 to 999 minutes (if relay 2 is control) 89 Latch relay 1 until reset by 99 0 85 Latch relay 2 until reset by 95 0 (if relay 2 is control) 99 Cycle relay 1/reset latched condition 0 95 Cycle relay 2/reset latched condition (if relay 2 is control) 0 Page 6 of 16 Doc.#: 6001008 Rev.#: 5140
4 - INITIAL SYSTEM SETUP The programming steps discussed in this section are used when you first configure the system. Most of these programming steps have factory settings that will be appropriate in many situations (these settings are indicated where they exist). Remember, if you make a mistake in an entry, press the " " key. To tell the system that you have completed an entry, use the "#" key. STEP 01 - SETTING THE PROGRAMMING ACCESS CODE Changes the code that must be used to enter the programming mode to some combination that will be secret and easy to remember. Format 01 + 6 digits (0 thru 9) + # 01 + 123456 + # (sets the programming access code to 123456). STEP 02 - SETTING RING MODE Sets the type of ring the system will use to signal you when there is a visitor. Setting for a double ring will allow you to determine that the call is coming from the system and is not a normal call. The single ring mode will sound like a normal outside telephone call. Factory setting = Double Format 02 + 1 digit (1=double, 0=single) + # 02 + 1 + # (sets for double ring). STEP 03 - ENABLING/DISABLING STAND-ALONE MODE The stand-alone mode is when a system is not using an incoming telephone line (the standalone mode was referred to as the "intercom mode" in earlier manual revisions). This step will either enable or disable the stand-alone mode feature. Factory setting = Off Format 03 + 1 digit (1=enable, 0=disable) + #+ 52 + # 03 + 1 + #+ 52 + # (enables the stand-alone mode) It is imperative that you enter the additional "52" + "#" after making your entry or the system will not accept this entry. If a system has the stand-alone mode enabled and there is a telephone line connected to the system, the Landmark will simply ignore the telephone line and will have the system operate as a stand-alone system. Rev.#: 5140 Doc.#: 6001008 Page 7 of 16
STEP 04 - ENABLING/DISABLING CALL WAITING Enables or disables the call waiting feature. Factory setting = On Format 04 + 1 digit + (1 =on, 0 =off) + # 04 + 0 + # (disables call waiting). STEP 05 - SETTING ANSWER RING COUNT Sets the number of rings before a system automatically answers your telephone line. This would be used for off-site programming and relay activation. Factory setting = 0. Format 05 + 1 digit (0 thru 9) + # 05 + 4 + # (sets the system to answer after 4 rings). In a multiple unit installation, you only need to set the ring count for unit 1 since it is the only unit which will answer. Setting the ring count to zero (0) disables the automatic answering of the incoming call. If you want to use the remote programming feature, you must set the answer ring count to some value other than zero (0). STEP 06 - SETTING TALK TIME Sets the maximum length of a call that can be made by a visitor. This length can be set from 15 to 255 seconds. Factory setting = 60 seconds Format 06 + 3 digits (015 thru 255 seconds) + # 06 + 085 + # (sets the talk time to 85 seconds). STEP 07 - SETTING RELAY 2 CONFIGURATION Selects the mode of operation for the system's second relay. Factory setting = Control Format 07 + 1 digit (0 thru 3) + # Command variables 0=Control 1=Shunt 2=Alarm 3=CCTV 07 + 2 + # (sets relay 2 to Alarm). If the second relay is set to Control, it will activate when you dial a "5" or terminal ST2 on the Landmark controller board sees a contact closure to common. If set to Shunt, it activates whenever the main relay activates to temporarily bypass an alarm sensor monitoring this entry. If set to Alarm, it will activate if (1) the controlled entry is forced open, (2) if the entry is held open more than one minute after the main relay has deactivated, or (3) the strikes and out feature has been violated (see step 10 for further discussion of the strikes and out feature). If set to CCTV, you would dial a "5" to activate the closed circuit TV. The relay will be deactivated when the call is terminated (by you granting or denying entry or by the call "timing out"). STEP 08 - SETTING RELAY 1 ACTIVATION TIME Page 8 of 16 Doc.#: 6001008 Rev.#: 5140
Sets the period of time relay 1 will remain activated. This time can be set from 1 to 99 seconds. Factory setting = 10 seconds Format 08 + 2 digits (01 thru 99) + # 08 + 03 + # (sets the relay activation time to 3 seconds). If this relay activates a gate operator with a momentary contact closure, you will need to set the relay activation time for a short period of time (for example, 2 seconds). If you set the relay activation time for a longer period of time, there is a possibility that the gate will continue to open and close until the relay activation period has ended. STEP 09 - SETTING RELAY 2 ACTIVATION TIME Sets the period of time relay 2 will remain activated. This time can be set from 1 to 99 seconds. Factory setting = 10 seconds Format 09 + 2 digits (01 thru 99) + # 09 + 05 + # (sets the relay activation time to 5 seconds). If this relay activates a gate operator with a momentary contact closure, you will need to set the relay activation time for a short period of time (for example, 2 seconds). If you set the relay activation time for a longer period of time, there is a possibility that the gate will continue to open and close until the relay activation period has ended. STEP 10 - SETTING "STRIKES AND OUT" Sets the number of wrong entry codes that can be entered consecutively before the system stops accepting codes (for 3 minutes). Factory setting = 5 Format 10 + 1 digit (1 thru 9) + # 10 + 4 + # (sets unit to stop accepting codes after 4 unsuccessful attempts). This is an alarm condition and will cause the system to ring the residence, activate the second relay (if set as an alarm relay), and/or place an alarm call unless specifically turned off in step 67 (see section 7 titled "Other Special Functions"). STEP 14 - SETTING ALARM NUMBER TO CALL Sets the telephone number the system is to call in an alarm condition. Factory setting = disabled. Format 14 + up to 10 digits (0 thru 9) + # 14 + 8185551212 + # (sets alarm call number to 1-818-555-1212) The factory setting for the alarm call feature is disabled. To enable the alarm call feature, please refer to step 20 on the following page. Rev.#: 5140 Doc.#: 6001008 Page 9 of 16
If you program exactly 10 digits as the telephone number, the system will automatically dial a leading 1 before the 10 digits. If the Landmark is programmed to dial an outside telephone number, the outside telephone line must have a modem attached to it. This is for the reason that when the system calls an outside telephone number, it sends a message via modem that includes the system s programming access code to identify which unit is calling. A sample of this message is as follows: If you want the system to call the residence instead of an outside line, enter two 0 s in place of a telephone number. The residence line does not need to have a modem attached to it. Instead, the system will send the number of tones corresponding to the system's ID number of where the alarm occurred. STEP 15 - SETTING CALL FORWARDING DESTINATION NUMBER Sets the telephone number the Landmark is to call if you wish to receive the visitor's call at a remote location. Format 15 + up to 10 digits (0 thru 9) + # 15 + 5551212 + # (sets call forwarding number to 555-1212). When this feature is enabled, the Landmark system forwards all visitor calls to the programmed phone number automatically. Thus, it is important that this feature be disabled promptly when you arrive home to ensure that all subsequent visitor calls will ring the residence phone. Disabling this feature is accomplished by programming "00" as the phone number. If you program exactly 10 digits as the telephone number, the system will automatically dial a leading 1 before the 10 digits. In a multiple unit installation, each of the units should have the call forwarding feature enabled in order for this feature to operate properly. STEP 19 - ENABLE/DISABLE OFF-SITE REMOTE PROGRAMMING Allows you to enable or disable remote programming from an outside telephone. Factory setting = Off Format 19 + 1 digit (1=enable, 0=disable) + # 19 + 1 + # (enables the off-site remote programming feature) The ability to remotely program the system from your telephone will not be affected if this programming step is disabled. STEP 20 - ENABLE/DISABLE ALARM CALL Allows you to enable or disable the alarm call feature. Format 20 + 1 digit (1=enable, 0=disable) + # 20 + 1 + # (this enables the alarm call feature) If the alarm call feature is enabled, the destination of the call is determined by the number programmed in step 14 (above). Page 10 of 16 Doc.#: 6001008 Rev.#: 5140
5 - ENTERING AND ERASING ENTRY CODES The following steps enable you to program and erase entry codes. STEP 16 - ENTERING AN ENTRY CODE To set up codes that can be used by you and service personnel to gain entry without having to use a key or contact the residence. Up to 50 can be programmed into the system. Format 16 + 4 digits (0 thru 9) + # 16 + 2345 + # (sets 2345 as a valid entry code). STEP 17 - ERASING A SINGLE ENTRY CODE Allows individual entry codes to be erased from the system's memory. Format 17 + 4 digits (code to be erased) + # 17 + 2346 + # (makes the entry code 2346 invalid, if it was previously valid). STEP 18 - ERASING ALL ENTRY CODES Allows you to erase all entry codes from memory. Format 18 + 1 digit (1=yes, 0=no) + ### 18 + 1 + ### (erases all entry codes in memory). Rev.#: 5140 Doc.#: 6001008 Page 11 of 16
6 - DOOR/GATE CONTROL FUNCTIONS These functions allow you to directly operate the doors/gates controlled by the Landmark system without having to first receive a call from the visitor. From the resident's telephone You can simply pick up your telephone and dial as follows: ##9 - cycle relay 1 or unlatch relay 1 if it was previously latched ##5 - cycle relay 2 or unlatch relay 2 if it was previously latched * ##89 - latch relay 1 until reset by ##9 ##85 - latch relay 2 until reset by ##5* ##79 XXX + # - latch relay 1 for XXX minutes ##75 XXX + # - latch relay 2 for XXX minutes* PLEASE NOTE: If this is a multiple unit installation, the unit ID code must be inserted between the "##" keys and the command. For example, to cycle relay 1 on the unit that has ID 1, you would enter "##19". IMPORTANT NOTICE: On some PBX or KEY telephone systems, the "#" and/or the " " keys do not emit the "#" and " " tones. Please consult your telephone system manual to find the method used to emit the correct tones. In programming mode (at unit or from remote site) These door/gate control functions are used when the system is in the program mode from any programming source. Thus, you will be able to call the system from an outside telephone and operate the gate (for example, if you remember after leaving the house that you needed to leave the gate opened). In a multiple unit installation, the unit you address is the unit whose relays will be activated. 99 - cycle relay 1 and reset latched condition 95 - cycle relay 2 and reset latched condition* 89 - latch relay 1 until reset by 99 85 - latch relay 2 until reset by 95* 79XXX + # - latch relay 1 for XXX minutes 75XXX + # - latch relay 2 for XXX minutes* * These door/gate functions will only operate if the second relay is set as a Control relay. Page 12 of 16 Doc.#: 6001008 Rev.#: 5140
7 - OTHER SPECIAL FUNCTIONS The Landmark system has several other functions that you may need to use in special situations. These functions are as follows: USING THE IN-HOUSE INTERCOM FEATURE Allows you to use the Landmark system as an in-house intercom by using distinctive rings to notify a person that they are being paged. Format # + # + 0 +1 digit (1 thru 4) # + # + 0 + 3 (this will cause all the phones connected to the phone line which the Landmark is on to distinctively ring in intervals of 3 rings). INITIATING COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE GATE Allows you to initiate communications from the house to the Landmark at any time to greet visitors, to ward off vandals, etc. as long as an outside call is not in progress. Format # + # + 6 If you have a multiple unit installation, you will need to place the unit ID number between the second "#" sign and the "6". This call will terminate automatically in 60 seconds unless you hang up the line sooner or extend the talk time by pressing a "1" on your telephone. The following steps can be accessed from the programming mode and are activated by entering a 2-digit code: STEP 52 - RESETTING THE SYSTEM Format Allows you to reset the system without having to disconnect the power and possibly lose stored information. 52 + # (the system will reset and there will be two tones in the speaker) Rev.#: 5140 Doc.#: 6001008 Page 13 of 16
STEP 21 - SETTING UNIT ID NUMBERS (For Multiple Unit Installations Only) In a multiple unit installation, each unit must know its unit number and that there are other units in the chain. These numbers are usually set in the original installation by your installer. However, if you remove or add a unit to your chain, or there is a break in your chain, you will need to re-identify the units. If the units are not correctly identified, remote programming and remote gate operations will not work properly. THESE PROCEDURES SHOULD NOT BE UTILIZED UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY YOUR INSTALLING DEALER. The unit connected on the phone line closest to the residence is unit number 1. The unit which is furthest from the residence and is the closest to the telephone company has the highest unit number. Units can be commanded to automatically self-identify using a special procedure or they can be identified manually with the use of programming step 21. The automatic self-identification procedure identifies the units quickly and simultaneously. This is the most commonly used procedure and should also be used if you are not sure of the position of every unit in the chain. To invoke the automatic self-identification process, use the following steps: 1. On the resident's telephone, go off-hook and wait at least 10 seconds. If the telephone is connected to the telephone company, you should hear a dial tone. 2. Place the resident's telephone on-hook and wait at least 5 seconds. 3. Take the resident's phone off-hook again and enter " #" on the telephone keypad. Then, place the telephone on-hook. After 10 seconds, the resident's phone will ring once. Do not answer it. After another 15 seconds, all of the units will have completed the self-identification process. 4. It is strongly advised that after the automatic self-identification process has been completed that you check each unit to make sure that it has been programmed with the correct unit ID number. To check the unit ID number, enter the programming mode ( +6-digit password) and enter step 55. Make a note of the number of beeps which are emitted. The number of beeps emitted is the unit number. Label that unit with its unit ID number for further reference. If the beep count is the same for 2 or more units, the automatic self-identification process must be repeated. It is also possible to program the unit ID numbers manually. This procedure is mainly used for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes. To manually ID the units, use the following steps: 1. At the first unit in the chain, enter the programming mode ( + 6-digit password). 2. At the programming prompt, enter step 21 and then the position of this unit in the chain plus the total number of units in the chain and the "#" sign. For example, if this unit was the first unit in a four unit chain, you will enter "21 + 1 + 4 + #" at the programming prompt. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 at each of the remaining units. 4. It is strongly advised that after manually programming the unit ID numbers, you verify each unit to ensure that it has been programmed with the correct unit ID number. To check the unit ID number, enter the programming mode ( + 6-digit password) and enter step 55. Make a note of the number of beeps which are emitted. The number of beeps emitted is the unit number. Label the unit with its unit ID number for further reference. If the beep count is the same for 2 or more units, you will need to manually re-enter the correct unit ID numbers for those units.

8 - REMOTE PROGRAMMING This sections leads you through entering the remote programming mode. ENTERING REMOTE PROGRAMMING MODE - OFF SITE 1. Call the your telephone number from any tone dial telephone and wait for the system to answer and respond with a single tone. Note: Programming from a remote telephone may still be accomplished when an answering machine answers the line before the programmed number of rings. The remote programmer only has to enter the three asterisks (" ") and the 6-digit user password to enter the programming mode. 2. Enter three asterisks (" ") followed by the 6-digit user defined password (factory set 000000). If the system is in a multiple entry installation, the unit ID code for the unit you wish to program will need to be inserted between the asterisks and the 6-digit access code. If you have entered the programming mode correctly, you will hear a single tone in the telephone. If you have not entered the programming mode correctly or an incorrect 6-digit password was entered, the Landmark system will disconnect the call. 3. Program the system according to the programming instructions. The audio responses will be the same as if you were programming at the front panel. NOTE: When there are multiple Landmarks installed and the units are to be programmed from a remote telephone, the unit ID code must be inserted between the asterisks and the six-digit password. ENTERING REMOTE PROGRAMMING MODE-RESIDENT'S PHONE 1. Enter three asterisks (" ") followed by the 6-digit user defined password (factory set 000000). If the system is in a multiple entry installation, the unit ID code for the unit you wish to program will need to be inserted between the asterisks and the 6-digit access code. If you have entered the programming mode correctly, you will hear a single tone in the telephone. If you have not entered the programming mode correctly or an incorrect 6-digit password was entered, the Landmark system will disconnect the call. 2. Program the system according to the programming instructions. The audio responses will be the same as if you were programming at the front panel. NOTE: When there are multiple Landmarks installed and the units are to be programmed from the resident's telephone, the unit ID code must be inserted between the asterisks and the six digit password.

9 - REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS This programming step should be performed by a qualified installer or an experienced computer user. STEP 82 - MODEM DOWNLOAD OF SYSTEM SETTINGS Command variables This step enables you to access information concerning the system's operating parameters, and the entry codes programmed into the system. The calling modem should be set for: 300 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. The following list contains the digits which must be entered following the command to receive the desired list from the system via modem. 1=system operating parameters 2=entry code listing The example below illustrates how a list of all entry codes programmed into the system would be obtained. This same form may be used to obtain system operating parameters by replacing the "2" following the "82" command in item 4 below with a "1". 1. Call the telephone number of the Landmark system you wish to contact. 2. After the system answers (when ringing stops, when you hear a tone, or when the line is answered by an answering machine), enter the programming mode (by entering three asterisks, " ", followed by the 6-digit user defined password) from a tone dial telephone which is connected to the same line as a Hayes compatible modem connected to a terminal, or personal computer running terminal emulation software. In a multiple unit installation, the three asterisks must be followed by the unit ID number to enter the programming mode. 3. Enter ATA (DO NOT press "ENTER" at this point) on the terminal or computer's keyboard. This will prepare the modem to send a tone to the Landmark over the telephone line. 4. Dial "82" + "2" on the remote tone dial telephone. This prepares the Landmark to transmit the data to the modem. 5. Press the "ENTER" key on the terminal or computer's keyboard, wait for five seconds, and hangup the telephone. This will cause the modem to send a tone to the Landmark which begins the transmission of data to the calling modem. 6. The Landmark will then send a list of all entry codes programmed into the system to the terminal, or personal computer running terminal emulation software. Page 16 of 16 Doc.#: 6001008 Rev.#: 5140
