However, if the line is sharedwith other users, it should be programmed to answer after 6 to 8 rings, giv-ing people lots of time to pick up the phone before the B1290 automaticallyanswers.The # is used when the called parties have dial pulse phones. They cannotacknowledge receipt of an alarm using a code. Instead the B1290 recog-nizes 8 rings on the telephone line as an Acknowledge Code. In the direc-tory, a Wait command with the required delay, is placed on the line follow-ing the Dial command. This gives the called party time to hang up thephone, call the B1290 back and let the phone ring 8 times to acknowledge re-ceipt of the alarm (refer to Program Code 2 - Phone Directory).36 Program Codes
