backup phone before setting the “Fail To Communicate”
condition and stop reporting. Programming a “1” will cause
the control panel to stop trying to communicate after the
designated number of attempts have been made to the
currently programmed phone. If a “2” is programmed in
this segment, it will cause the control panel to make the
