SIA AV-01-2014 | Protocol for Audio Verification and Two-Way Voice – Monitoring Service Command Set

Scope and Benefits

This proposed standard describes the minimum requirements for command sets for a monitoring service operator pressing buttons on a touch-tone phone to control an audio verification system at the customer’s premises. The monitoring service operator generates dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) signals by pressing buttons on a touch-tone phone connected in parallel with the monitoring service receiver’s phone line. The audio verification system at the premises receives and interprets these signals.

An initial command set controls basic two-way voice operation. One group of command sets toggles, turns off and turns on individual microphones or microphone zones at the premises. Another group of command sets toggles, turns off and turns on relays or relay zones at the premises. Additional command sets can be used for integrated home system control.
