Introduction
The ClareOne two-way voice solution ties voice calls and panel alarms together using Caller ID recognition and tracking. When an alarm and call are sent from the panel to the central station (CS), the incoming call is automatically routed to the operator handling the alarm through supported services such as Bold’s “Two-Way Plus”.
If two-way voice support is not configured properly, the call from the ClareOne panel and the alarm can both still be sent to the cs, but they are not sent to the same operator. In this scenario, an operator does not know the location of the call number and has no way to correlate it with the panel.
Use this document as a guide to configure two-way voice support.
Notes
- The CS account needs the ClareOne panel’s Caller ID when setting up two-way voice.
- Cellular/LTE must be active on the ClareOne panel for Caller ID and you need to activate supported 2-way voice services with your central station. To setup and configure the panel’s cellular/LTE, see ClareOne LTE Cellular Setup Tech Bulletin (DOC ID 1985).
Caller ID Number notes
- The Caller ID number displayed on the panel is the phone number associated with the ClareOne LTE SIM card.
- The Caller ID Number populated in FusionPro is the same number from the ClareOne LTE SIM card (if activated).
- The Two-Way Calling Number is the phone number that the ClareOne panel dials when a medical or police panic is initiated on the ClareOne panel's Emergency screen.
