Introduction General Information ADEMCO's VIP (VISTA Interactive Phone) Module permits you to control your security system via a Touch-tone phone (either on premises or by a call-in when away). With this module you can do the following: • Receive synthesized voice reports regarding your security system status over the phone • Arm and disarm the security system and perform most function commands using the telephone keypad. Voice comments or confirmation tones are provided over the phone as confirmation after any function command is entered • Option to have synthesized voice reports routed to an external speaker • Monitor and/or change thermostat settings over phone line • Turn certain lights/appliances on and off via the telephone (Relay Command Mode), if your system includes this feature. Type of Telephone Required The phone used for phone access must have Touch-tone capability. An off-premises phone that does not have Touch-tone service and uses Pulse for dialing may not permit switching to Touch-tone after dialing; in such a case, system access from that phone will not be possible. Phone Access Code Your installer has assigned a special 2-digit phone code to enable you to access the security system via a phone. This code consists of a number from 1-9, followed by a G or #. 1
