3. Connect24 will confirm that the account has DLS service and will provide the Public IP address and port
number of the DLS server in the SMS message.
4. SMS message will establish a connection to your computer’s DLS IV software (programming labels only).
5. Create an account for the Panel/Communicator, select the Communicator type (e.g., SMS - TL260GS) and
enter all relevant information in
SMS
section.
NOTE: The GSM telephone number will also be required by the users, to send SMS Command and Con-
trol messages to their system.
6. Program the account information, then click

7. The download path configured in Communicator Programming Section [005] Option[4] determines the
GPRS or Ethernet path to be used.
The Communicator has 4 onboard LED indicators. These include 1 yellow trouble LED, 1 red Network Connec-
tion Status LED, and 2 green Signal Strength LEDs.
Yellow Trouble LED
This yellow LED will flash to indicate a trouble on the unit. The number of flashes indicates the type of trouble.
See the table below for the coded flashes and the conditions which will activate the Trouble Status LED.
NOTE: Only the highest priority trouble (1 Flash is highest priority) is indicated. When this trouble is
restored, the next highest trouble will indicate, if present. This will continue until all Troubles have been
cleared (yellow LED OFF).
The following paragraphs describe the conditions associated with the trouble indicated:
Panel Supervision Trouble (2 Flashes)
This trouble will be indicated when communication between the Communicator module and the control panel
fails. If the module can not communicate with the panel (e.g., loss of power to the panel) the Communicator will
send the ‘Panel Absent Trouble Event’ message to the central station receiver. When communication returns, a
‘Panel Absent Restore Event’ is sent by the Communicator to the central station receiver. The reporting codes
are ET0001 for Trouble and ER0001 for Restore. The panel absent event always uses the primary receiver
account code when communicating to the central station.
NOTE: The Panel Supervision Trouble/Restore is an internally generated event by the Communicator. It is the only internal
event; all other events are generated by the control panel. Trouble is generated if the Communicator misses 3 Polls
(PC9155) or 6 Polls (PC1864). Trouble is restored on receipt of first Poll from the panel.
SIM Lock Trouble (4 Flashes)
This trouble will signify that the SIM lock feature has been enabled and the unit has not been programmed with
the correct PIN for the SIM card.
GSM Trouble (5 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated for any of the following 4 conditions:
a.
Radio Failure
:Trouble is indicated after 8 failed attempts to communicate with the GSM radio.
b.
SIM Failure:
Trouble is indicated after 10 CPIN commands.
c.
GSM Network Trouble
:Trouble is indicated for loss of the registration to the network provider. (3 consec-
utive init or refresh failures, failure to connect to an APN, failure to open a socket, total error count in
cyclic command = 20, or on receiving an MSDI (1/2), (7/8/14). Trouble will clear after init and cyclic com-
mands succeed and MIPCALL and MIPOPEN commands succeed.
d.
Insufficient Signal Strength
: Trouble is indicated if
calculated
average
signal strength is too low. (Both green
LEDs OFF). Trouble will clear when the calculated average signal strength is above minimum (i.e., > CSQ 5) .
Ethernet Trouble (6 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when Ethernet link between the transmitter and the local hub or router is absent.This
trouble will also be indicated if the unit fails to get Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) settings from the
DHCP server. (Not active if Ethernet Receivers are not programmed).
Receiver Not Available (7 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated if the unit is not able to successfully initialize with any of the programmed receivers.
Unprogrammed receivers are excluded. This trouble is also indicated if the GPRS receiver APNs have not been
programmed in Sections [205] and [215].
Receiver Supervision Trouble (8 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when receiver supervision is enabled and communication between the Communicator
module and the receiver fails.Trouble is indicated if Ethernet 1 is supervised and does not receive a heartbeat
from the receiver or if GPRS is supervised and the unit does not receive an acknowledgment to 4 heartbeats
sent to the receiver.
FTC Trouble (9 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to communicate module events to the central station.Trouble is dis-
played after the unit has exhausted all communications attempts to all programmed receivers for events gener-
ated by the Communicator.
Connect24 Configuration Failure (10 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to receive programming from Connect 24.
