Section 6: Programming
[013] – Delay Between Force Attempts
This programming option is used to set the length of time the alarm system waits between the first dialing attempt and the force dial
attempt.
Valid Entries are 001-255 seconds. Default is 020.
[014] – Post Dial Wait for Handshake
This option is used to program the length of time the communicator waits for a valid initial handshake from the receiver after dialing
the programmed telephone number. Valid entries are 001 to 255 seconds.
UL
Note:
Maximum 45 seconds for UL installations.
[015] – IP Wait for Ack
This option is used to program the length of time the communicator waits for an acknowledge after transmitting via IP/GS. Valid
entries are 001 to 255. Default is 60 seconds.
[016] –IP/Cellular Fault Check Timer
This section is used to program the number of poll commands sent without valid poll responses before the alarm system generates a
trouble condition. The checks occur at 3-second intervals.
Valid entries are 003-255 for trouble annunciation and transmission.
The trouble restore is not delayed.
[380] Communicator Option 1
1 – Communications Enabled/Disabled
ON: (Default) The system communicator is enabled and all events with reporting codes are reported to the monitoring station. Refer to
the Telephone Number, Reporting Code and Call Direction programming sections.
OFF: The system communicator is disabled and no events are reported to the monitoring station.
Note:
Disabling the communicator clears all FTC troubles.
2 – Restore On Bell Timeout
ON: Zone restore reporting codes are not transmitted until the zone has been restored and the bell timeout has expired. If the zone is
not restored when the bell cut-off time expires, the restore is transmitted when the zone physically restores or when the system is
disarmed.
Note:
24-hour zones will not restore until the zone is physically restored
OFF: Zone restore reporting codes are transmitted when the zone is physically restored. If zones are still active when the system is
disarmed, the restore codes are transmitted when the system is disarmed.
3 – Pulse Dialing
ON: The alarm system dials telephone numbers using pulse (rotary) dialing.
OFF: The alarm system dials telephone numbers using DTMF (dual tone multi-frequency) touch-tone dialing.
4 – Pulse Dial after 5th Attempt
ON: If DTMF dialing is enabled, the alarm system dials telephone numbers using DTMF dialing for the first 4 attempts. If unsuccessful,
the alarm system switches to pulse (rotary) dialing for the remaining attempts.
OFF: If DTMF dialing is enabled, the alarm system dials telephone numbers using DTMF dialing for all dialing attempts.
5 – Parallel Communications
ON: Parallel communications is enabled. The alarm system attempts to communicate through all available receiver paths (PSTN and
IP (IP=Ethernet or Cellular) at the same time. Once acknowledgment is provided by any of the receivers, the alarm system
communicates the next event. If more than one receiver is configured for PSTN, the backup procedure described below is followed.
OFF: Parallel communications is disabled. If receiver 1 fails, the alarm system attempts to communicate with the next available
receiver (2-4) in sequence.
Note:
When Parallel Communications is enabled it will override Communicator Backup Options, see
for communicator backup programming.
6 – Alternate Dial
ON: After each failed dialing attempt, the communicator switches to the next backup receiver in the sequence:
l
Receiver 2 backs up Receiver 1
l
Receiver 3 backs up Receiver 2
l
Receiver 4 backs up Receiver 3
