CHANGING TEXT OUTPUT
D8XCEL and D16XCEL have an extensive library of text descriptions used in SMS
messaging, and also give the user the ability to customise the text output to suit
individual needs.
For example, the default text sent for a zone alarm is:
NESS security report
from LOCATION
ALARM ZONE 3 AREA 1
Tue 7 Aug 2018 4:07:22pm 1/1
XCEL allows most words in this message to be modified.
Example, to rename ZONE 1
The zone name is set by the text output name ZONE 1. (See the table, page 22).
SMS SENT TO THE PANEL SMS REPLy
T123E,ZONE 1,Z1 FRONT DOOR
text report changes made
ZONE 1,Z1 FRONT DOOR
1/1
Zone 1 will now be identified in SMS reports as "Z1 FRONT DOOR"
SENDING MULTIPLE TEXT CHANGES IN ONE MESSAGE
Let's say you want to customise the panel's name and rename zone 2.
The panel name is set by the text output named LOCATION and the zone name by the
text ZONE 2. (See the table, page 22).
To rename LOCATION and ZONE 2:
SMS SENT TO THE PANEL SMS REPLy
T123E,LOCATION,MyHOME,
ZONE 2,Z2 RUMPUS
text report changes made
LOCATION,MyHOME,ZONE 2,Z2 RUMPUS
1/1
The panel will now be identified in SMS reports as MyHOME and zone 2 as "Z2
RUMPUS"
Using the same method every word and phrase in the SMS message can be renamed.
Refer to the text table on the following page.
DELETING A WORD
Text output words can be also be deleted and therefore omitted from the SMS
message.
For example to delete the word 'FROM' insert a space followed by a comma in place of
the word.
SMS SENT TO THE PANEL SMS REPLy
t123E,From, ,
text report changes made
FROM,
1/1
SMS alarm reports will then appear as:
BEFORE
AFTER
Message Format.
T [Master Code]E,NAME,RENAME
NOTES
Beware of spaces in this command.
Do not insert any spaces before a
command name.
For example, if renaming Location...
This is ok T123E,LOCATION,My House
The space between My and House is
ok but avoid any other spaces.
