We recommend that, if possible, you use Contact ID for the main dialer. If Contact ID is not used, certain types of
reports are not sent.
Operation
The VISTA-128BPEN features Dynamic Signaling Delay and Dynamic Signaling Priority message reporting when
a Communicator is used. These options are accessed through data fields
✱
56 and
✱
57, respectively. The Dynamic
Signaling feature is designed to reduce the number of redundant reports sent to the central station.
The feature is described as follows:
Dynamic Signaling Delay (Field
✱
56)
Select the time the panel should wait for acknowledgment from the first reporting destination before it attempts to send
a report to the second destination. Delays can be selected from 0 to 225 seconds, in 15-second increments.
Dynamic Signaling Priority (Field
✱
57)
Select the initial reporting destination for reports, Primary Dialer (0) or Communicator (1) .
The chart below provides an explanation of how the Dynamic Signaling feature functions.
If Priority ( 57) is… And message is… Then…
Acknowledged before delay expires Report is removed from queue and no message is sent to
Communicator. Primary Phone No. ("0")
Not acknowledged before delay expires Report is sent to both the Primary Phone No. and Communicator.
Acknowledged before delay expires Report is removed from queue and no message is sent to Primary
Phone No. Communicator ("1")
Not acknowledged before delay expires Report is sent to both the Primary Phone No. and Communicator.
Additional Communicator reporting options are defined by selecting the events for each subscriber ID in fields 58 and
59. The reporting events are Alarms, Troubles, Bypasses, Openings/Closing, System Events, and Test. Also, within an
enabled category, the specific event must be enabled for dialer reporting. If, for instance, zone 10 is enabled to report,
but zone 11 is not, zone 10 will report via the Communicator, but Zone 11 will not.
Reports are transmitted from the VISTA-128BPEN to the Communicator on a “first in/first out” basis. If events occur at
the same time, they are transmitted in order of priority. The priority from most to least important is : Fire Alarms, Panic
Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles, Non-Fire Troubles, Bypasses, Openings/Closings, Test messages, and all other
types of reports.
There are two subscriber IDs programmed into the Communicator: primary and secondary. These correspond to the two
subscriber ID’s programmed into the control for each partition. If a subscriber ID for a partition is not programmed
(disabling reports to that central station), the events enabled for the corresponding subscriber ID in the Communicator
will not be transmitted.
When a Communicator is being used, *51 Dual reporting should not be used.
If split reporting is selected for the VISTA-128BPEN, then the Communicator will send the appropriate reports to the
primary and secondary central stations.
