Installation Instructions
Note:
The cable modem/router and switch (if any) at the
premises requires standby power, therefore a UL 1481, UL
864 or ITE (
Information Technology Equipment
) Certified
UPS must be used at the premises to power these devices
for 24 hours (unless an engine driven generator is provided
on the premises, then only 4 hours of UPS backup are re-
quired).
JUMPER DESCRIPTIONS
Jumper block labeled "
X5
"; from top to bottom, as detailed
in the following table.
Note:
Contact ID is always availa-
ble in response to a Contact ID handshake.
The SLE series communicators are compatible with 4/2
Pulse Dialing formats with 10pps, 20pps, and 40pps with
and without checksum, either 1400Hz or 2300Hz hand-
shake / kissoff. See table of formats on page 11.
Refer to WI2140 for selecting the required handshake /
kissoff frequency in the NOC (
www.NapcoNOC.com
) set-
up screens (as required by the control panel).
NETWORK COVERAGE
The StarLink communicator constantly supervises the
cell network coverage. When the StarLink communicator
detects a loss in network coverage, the StarLink commu-
nicator must be configured to prompt the control panel to
announce a Telco Line Cut failure trouble using the Man-
agement Center screen (at
www.NapcoNOC.com
).
INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1: ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
Create a new account and register specific StarLink com-
municator modules at
www.NapcoComNet.com
. Ac-

bled for activation within 24 hours (usually within 30
minutes).
Note:
Activate radio before applying power.
STEP 2: SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION
The mounting location should be indoors within the pro-
tected area and selected based on RF performance. It is
HIGHLY recommended that the installer carefully adhere
