Phone Access Denied - Remote Lockout
The Aegis 1000 has a remote lockout feature to discourage youngsters (and adults who act that way) from trying to access your
system. If four invalid codes are entered, the system will hang up and a one-hour lockout period will begin. During the lockout
period, the Aegis 1000 will not answer a call after any number of rings, which should discourage the caller.
If a lockout occurs, the event Phone Access Denied is entered into the event log, along with the time and date of its occurrence.
The one-hour lockout does not apply to in-house phones. The lockout is cleared immediately if the Aegis 1000 is accessed using
an in-house phone.
Alternate Method
The Aegis 1000 has an alternate access method that may be more effective, especially when calling long distance.
1. Call the system and allow the phone to ring once or twice.
2. Hang up.
3. Wait about 10 seconds, but within 60 seconds, call the system again. It will answer on the first ring and beep.
4. Enter your code.
Main Menu
Once you have successfully logged into your Aegis 1000, it will read you a menu of commands, as follows:
WELCOME TO AEGIS, PLEASE CHOOSE:
1: CONTROL
2: SECURITY
3: BUTTON
4: ALL
5: TEMPERATURE
6: STATUS
7: EVENT
8: PHONE
9: GOOD-BYE
*: CANCEL
0: REPEAT
This means that you press '1' for Control functions, '2' for Security, '3' for Button, etc. Pressing one of the keys on the phone will
move you to another menu. These menus are the same as the menus on the console. Words in brackets [ ] are only spoken if that
feature is in use.
You do not have to wait for the Aegis 1000 to finish talking. Once you are familiar with the menus, you can simply punch the
numbers on the phone without waiting. Whenever you press a number, the Aegis 1000 stops talking and goes on to the function
that you have selected.
If you press a key that is not on the current menu, you will hear 3 beeps and the menu will be repeated.
So that the Aegis 1000 does not tie up your phone, there is a 10 to 15 second time-out that starts after the Aegis 1000 stops
talking. If it does not hear any numbers from your phone in 10 to 15 seconds after it stops talking, the Aegis 1000 will hang up.
If you are on a remote phone and the Aegis 1000 hangs up, you must call the Aegis 1000 again. If you are on an in-house phone,
hang up, wait a few seconds, then pick up and press the # key.
To hear the main menu again, press 0 on your phone. To cancel an operation, press ' * ' for Cancel. You will hear "CANCEL"
and one beep for a cancel operation. If you make a mistake, you will hear 3 beeps, then the Aegis 1000 will re-read whichever
menu you are in.
