EPX400 – Manual

This defines time after which a transmitter generates confirmation to an alarm
control panel for correct phone number dial. Default setting is 2.0 sec. European

Standard determines this value at 0.5 to 12.5 sec.

8.9.2.3.

Protocol

Select protocol of data transmission used by an alarm control panel and that is

acceptable for monitoring station. Available options: ContactID and SIA.

Note:

1) For all protocols you may use following options:

o

[Enable SMS sending] which means that in case of no GPRS connection,

data will be sent via SMS (if this mode will be accessible).

o

[Don’t transmit data when external phone line is available] which means

that when the external PSTN line is available then it will be used during
transmission from the control panel.

2) [Disable CRC checking] option may be used for ContactID format. Some control
panel generate improper messages regarding a control sum for transmitted data, the

device is not able to confirm collection of data, and as a result the panel tries to send
them again (until execution of all determined trials). Select this option to avoid the

above mentioned.
