Entering Programming Mode

Normal Mode

Note: Before programming the system, make sure you have filled out the resident

directory worksheet in the Appendix on page 15.

After the system initializes (powers up), the display should appear as shown below.

Please enter the
Resident Code

This is the normal mode of the system. The system will accept all valid codes such as access
codes, keyless entry codes, and the programming master code.

Programming Mode

Before entering programming mode for the first time, restore the factory default master code to
*999 by shorting the reset pins for approximately three seconds. Refer to Figure 22 in the ADC
Instruction and Operation Manual for the location of reset pins. Please be aware that shorting the
reset pins will only restore the factory default master code to *999 and will not affect any
programmed information.

Before programming the system for the first time, clear the system’s memory and restore all
factory defaults by entering*5*5 while you are in the programming menu. Please be aware that
there is no “undo” feature after you have entered *5*5.

To enter programming mode , enter th e master code (factory defa ult is ). When you
are in programming mode, the display will read as follows:

Adding New Records

To add a new record, you must be in programming mode. Refer to Entering Progr amming Mode
on page 2 for instructions.

Selecting the maximum digits per listing

If you are programming the system for the first time, you must determine the maximum digits that
you can enter for a telephone number before you add new records. Ple ase be aware that changin g
the maximum telephone number digit length will erase all previously programmed dial codes and
telephone numbers. The factory default is set to seven digits.

Note: The feature “Program 11-digit number” will only let you save one 11-digit number.

Any new entry made in this option will overwrite the previous entry. If you wish,
you can use this feature to program Mircom’s technical su pport phone number.

Setting up prefix codes

Prefix codes are single-digit numbers that represent an area code. Entering a prefix code before a
seven-digit telephone number will tell the system to dial a specific area code before dialing the top­line number. For example, if you set the prefix code “1” to represent the area code “416”, the
system will read a phone number entered as “17373454” as “4167373454”.

You can assign up to ten user-definable prefixes. The number “0” is factory defa ulted to 0905.
To assign a new prefix number, follow the instructions below.

Note: Prefix codes are only required for 11-digit numbers.

Step 1: Select “To change Prefix Codes”

1. While in programming mode, press to scroll

Adding a record

Note: Be sure that you have set the maximum telephone number digit length and prefix

codes before adding a record for the first time (see previous two pages).

To add a new resident record, you will need to enter the resident’s dial code and telephone number.
Dial codes are the codes that visitors enter into the lobby unit to call residents. These codes can be
up to four digits long. As a security precaution, you may want to designate resident dial codes that
are not the same as their apartment numbers.

To add a keyless entry code, you must be in programming mode. Refer to Entering Programming
Mode on page 2 for instructions.

Pressing followed by any valid keyless entry code on the lobby unit keypad will unlock either
the main or auxiliary door. The system can provide up to 1000 keyless entry codes for residents

and five spares for building management. Use the range from 0000 to 4999 for main door keyless
entry codes and 5000 to 9999 for auxiliary door keyless entry codes. As a security precaution, be
sure to keep keyless entry codes well-guarded and controlled.

Setting Main and Aux Door DTMF (Door Open Code)

To set the main and aux door DTMF, you must be in programming mode. Refer to Entering
Programming Mode on page 2 for instructions.

Residents can unlock main and auxiliary doors by dialing a door open code on their telephone while
on-line with their visitors. You can change the door open code to any number betwee n 0 and 9. This
feature is particularly useful when a series of tones produced by some older resident answering

machines false-triggers the door strike to open.

Note: The door open code for pulse- (rotary-) type telephones is fixed at "9". Dialling a

pulse digit "9" will activate the main door relay. Auxiliary door relays cannot be
activated by pulse telephones.
