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.
Let's say you want to customise the panel's name and rename zone 3.
The panel name is set by the text output named LoCaTIoN and the zone name by the text ZoNE
3. (See the table, page 35).
To rename LoCaTIoN and ZoNE 3:
SMS SENT To ThE paNEL
SMS rEpLy
T123E,LCN, MyhoME, Z3, Z3
rUMpUS
text report changes made
LoCaTIoN,MyhoME, ZoNE 3, Z3 rUMpUS
1/1
SMS alarm reports will then appear as:
NESS SECUrITy rEporT
from MyhoME
aLarM Z3 rUMpUS arEa 1
Tue 7 aug 2018 4:07:22pm 1/1
Using the same method every word and phrase in the SMS message can be renamed. refer to
the text table on page 35
refer to the Installation Manual for further detail.
note: text names can only be programmed by sMs messaging as described on this page.
this includes Zone names, User names and installer details for display on the navigator
keypad and for reporting by sMs messaging.
