Phone Access Denied - Remote Lockout
The Aegis 3000 has a remote lockout feature to discourage unauthorized people 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 3000
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 3000 is accessed using
an in-house phone. This lockout also applies to PC access through the telephone.
Alternate Method
The Aegis 3000 has an alternate access method that may use to circumvent a telephone answering device (TAD).
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 3000, it will read you a menu of commands, as follows:
WELCOME TO AEGIS [AREA 1] 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 3000 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 3000 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 3000 does not tie up your phone, there is a 10 to 15 second time-out that starts after the Aegis 3000 stops
talking. If it does not hear any numbers from your phone in 10 to 15 seconds after it stops talking, the Aegis 3000 will hang up.
If you are on a remote phone and the Aegis 3000 hangs up, you must call the Aegis 3000 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 3000 will re-read whichever menu you are in.
