Note: refer to the topic Keycode Programming Guide.
To read or alter configuration settings by phone place a call to the RTU from a touch tone telephone. When the RTU answers, enter any key to start session (unless PINs are configured, then a valid PIN must be entered to start session). Once the session has started, the menu options are repeated.

Enter PROGRAM mode by pressing the 1 key on the telephone keypad. The RTU will respond with, "Enter program code."
As with programming at the front panel, for most configuration items, you will have the choice between:
Note: You may instead enter a "2" which will get you into read-only Program Mode, which as a safety feature only allows you to review, not change, program settings.
Since some of the Front Panel keys are not found on a touch tone keypad, some special conventions apply for OTP (Over the Phone) keystroke interpretation:

To change a value or setting:
Note: When you enter a leading #, the RTU does not yet know whether the intention is to enter # # # to indicate an ENTER or a single # as a prelude to something else. Therefore it will respond to the first # with the word "pound" recited back.
Special case: Over the phone, you may not configure more than one consecutive dialing delay because two ## in a row is interpreted as MINUS when configuring.
Note: Some programming items can not be performed over the phone and are only available within Alarmware™.
Note: The action of entering Program Mode automatically acknowledges all unacknowledged alarms, regardless of destination group.
