This option is ENABLED and locked (cannot be
changed) on Grade 3 Control Panels.
EN50136
If enabled:
Ø
the panel shows the
PIN to default
fault until the de-
fault
Master
user PIN and installer PIN are changed;
Ø
only 6-digit PIN are allowed, and user PINs are ran-
domly generated by the panel;
Ø
the communicator is disabled as long as there is a
PIN to default
fault, i.e., no communication action is
performed even if programmed;
Ø
keypads lock for 90 seconds after 3 consecutive at-
tempts using invalid PINs, the key readers lock for 90
seconds after 3 consecutive attempts with false
keys, remote telephone control (DTF) is locked for
90 seconds after 3 attempts to access with invalid
PINs.
Default:
enabled.
e
The system does NOT comply with EN50136 if this
option is enabled on panels that accept PINs of 4
and 5 digits. All 4- and 5-digit PINs must be re-
placed with a 6-digit PIN.
A disabled communicator is reported with the fault
Sys-
tem Comm. FTC
along with the fault
PIN to default
.
If the panel tries to perform a communicator action, the
following events are stored in the event log:
Ø
Not queued event
;
Ø
Tel. Com. Failed
;
Ø
PIN to default
.
Cellular Jamming/DoS Generates Fault
If enabled,
the panel can report DoS
8
and jamming
9
attacks to the
GSM Module via:
Ø
the event
GSM Link Lost - Jamming/DoS
;
Ø
the fault
GSM Network
;
Ø
the detail
JAMMING/DoS
(
WHY
) in the event log.
Default:
enabled.
+
When the GSM Module is under DoS or jamming
attacks it is NOT able to perform any programmed
actions.
e
ABSOLUTA Plus panels with the GSM Module and
the
SIM900
radio module (see part
92
in Figure 6
on page 22) do NOT conform to EN 50131 and
EN 50136 as they are NOT able to detect jamming
attacks.
IP DoS Generates Fault
If enabled, the panel can re-
port DoS attacks to the IP Module via:
Ø
the event
IP Link Lost - DoS
;
Ø
the fault
IP network
;
Ø
the detail
JAMMING/DoS
(
WHY
) in the event log.
Default:
disabled.
+
When the IP Module is under DoS attacks it is NOT
able to perform any programmed actions.
PSTN DoS Generates Fault
If enabled, the panel can
report DoS attacks to the PSTN
10
interface via:
Ø
the event
Phone Line Fault - DoS Attack
;
Ø
the fault
Tel. Line
;
Ø
the detail
JAMMING/DoS
(

When the PSTN interface is under DoS attacks it is
NOT able to perform any programmed actions.
+
When this option is enabled it is NOT possible to
select
Only PSTN
and
PSTN and GSM
for the op-
tion
Answering Machine Enabled Channels
of
the group
System Options
>
Phone Options
.
This is to prevent the panel from answering incoming
calls that may disable the PSTN channel if the caller
does not hang up.
+
When this option is enabled, the option
Don’t
Check Incoming Call
, of the group
System Op-
tions
>
Phone Options
, is disabled and CANNOT
be enabled.
This to prevent an attacker from calling the panel at the
same time that the panel is making an alarm call, in this
manner intercepting the call.

In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyber-attack where the perpetrator seeks to make a
machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a
host connected to the Internet.
9
Jamming is the act of deliberately disturbing radio communications.
10
A DoS attack on the PSTN occurs when the PSTN interface receives calls for a long period of time, preventing it
from making calls.
