# Programming from the Front Panel or Over the Phone

In addition to programming via Alarmware™, many configurable settings may also be programmed from either the RTU Front Panel, or by using touch-tone entries from a voice phone.

Programming by phone is available when the Catalyst calls you or when you call the Catalyst. If PINs are configured, you must have at least PROGRAM level access to make configuration changes.

The "Over the Phone" session begins with a phone call. Whether you received the call or made the call, the sequence will be the same:

1. You will be greeted by the RTU message either the default message or user-recorded message.

2. You will be instructed to enter a PIN (if configured) or enter a 5 to continue. When the Catalyst requests a 5, you can press a 5 (or any other key on your telephone keypad) to start the session. When entering a PIN, enter the proper PIN and wait for the Catalyst response.

3. After the 5 was entered or if the correct PIN was entered, then the Catalyst will inform you of any current RTU problems.

4. The Catalyst will then inform you of any channel alarms, acknowledged or not.

5. The Catalyst will then offer a menu of items to choose. To enter PROGAM mode, enter a one (1).

6. To make configuration changes to the Catalyst, enter the proper keycode, followed by three pound (#) signs. The three pound signs act as if you are using the ENTER key on the front panel.

7. To EXIT PROGRAM mode, use pound (#) star (*) star (*). To end the current session, press zero (0).
