Sensor type  
The sensors can be assigned to different types in accordance with the above functionalities.

Entry in Error History  
Allows you to select whether or not error 1/19 is to be entered in the error history.
Only active for the sensor type ALARM.

Destination call number  
An associated a/b port is programmable for the sensors. This port is called by the communication system once a setup signal has been received. The calling party then overrides this connection. A recorded announcement can be activated via an answering machine connected to this port, which informs the dialed station of the response of the sensor. An a/b port programmed in this way cannot be contacted from the outside.
If an external phone number or an EVM was programmed for a sensor instead of an a/b port, the connection is established, but no acoustic information is transmitted regarding the sensor response.
Important: This feature is not implemented for an external phone number and an EVM.  
If the phone number is external, the called station can at least - if CLIP is active - see the origin of the call.

Announcement equipment, call number  
Input of the port to which the announcement device, answering machine or PhoneMail device is connected.

Message texts box control data  
Input of the control string with a maximum of 24 characters for the PhoneMail system (mailbox call number).
If the connection has been established, the control string is transmitted to the recorded announcement port. If a recorded announcement port is not available, the control string is transmitted to the destination.

Application example for HiNet VS1600  
The failure of the fan is detected by a temperature sensor and is signaled via a LED on the front panel. If Entry in Error History is activated, this alarm is stored additionally in the error history.

Sensor name/signaling text  
Name of the sensor, max. 16 characters
In the case of internal destinations, the sensor name appears in the display.
If Entry in Error History is activated, only up to 10 characters can be entered for the sensor name.

Number of calls  
The number of attempts that are to be made to contact the destination station are entered here.
