PROGRAMMING ACCESS
The RE-2 can be programmed locally or remotely. The system’s
built-in programming software can be accessed on-site or off-site
using a computer with any Internet browser.
Without a computer, the RE-2 can be programmed from its main
keypad, from any local TouchTone® telephone connected to the
same line, or from any remote TouchTone® telephone by calling
the unit. To guide you through the programming, the RE-2’s voice
synthesizer will announce programming prompts over the telephone.
Programming with a Computer
Navigating through the RE-2’s programming “pages” is similar to
browsing through your favorite web site’s pages. Anyone familiar with
the Internet will fi nd programming the RE-2 with a computer very
easy. The RE-2’s memory contains the “pages” that the computer
will view. When selections and changes are made on the computer,
the RE-2’s memory is programmed to your custom settings.
