Aegis 3000 will not answer incoming calls ever, and will not work on the in house phones. Dial outs will still occur, and the
system will operate normally when the Aegis 3000 dials out.
If you do not have your Aegis 3000 connected to a phone line, set
Telephone Access
to Off to keep the system from displaying
"PHONE LINE DEAD". The default setting for
Telephone Access
is On.

still work, but the system will never answer an incoming call.
The default setting for

Remote Commands
The
Remote Commands Ok
item allows you to prevent any commands from being issued from a remote telephone.
If
