Communication
The Communication section allows you to configure the communication settings for
the XTLplus panel. Before entering the communication type, you will enter two global
settings.
Account Number
Enter the account number sent to the receiver. The range of account numbers are 1 to
65535. For account numbers of four digits or less, you do not have to enter leading
zeros. The panel automatically right-justifies the account number.
Transmission Delay
Enter the number of seconds (15 to 45 seconds) the panel waits before sending
burglary alarm reports to the receiver. The wireless siren and relay outputs are not
delayed during this period. Enter 0 (zero) to disable this function. The default is
30
.
Communication Type
This specifies the communication method the panel uses to contact the receiver.
Press any Select Key or Area to display the following communication options:
▶
WIFI
: Network communication to DMP Model SCS-1R or SCS-VR Receivers.
▶
CEL
: This option allows communication over the cellular network using the
265LTE Series Cellular Communicator to DMP Model SCS-1R or SCS-VR Receivers.
▶
NET
: This option allows communication over an ethernet network connection.
▶
NONE
: For local systems. Selecting this ends communication programming.
Note:
If automatic cellular activation is unsuccessful, cellular communication
must be activated using the Activate Cell option provided in Diagnostics
Function located in the
Backup Cellular
Backup Cellular option is available if COMM TYPE is set for WIFI or NET. The Backup
Cellular tries to send the message after the main communication fails for 60 seconds
on WIFI. If the backup cellular fails then the message is discarded.
Test Time
Press
CMD
to enter the Test Time. Enter the time of day the panel sends the test
report to the SCS-1R Receiver. Use entries between 12:00 to 11:59 and then choose AM
or PM.
Test Days
Enter how often the panel test report is sent to the receiver. Enter from 1 to 60 days.
Enter zero to disable the test report. Default is
1
(one) day. This option only displays if
a test time is entered.
Check-In Minutes
Enter the number of minutes (0 or 3-240) between check-in reports. Check-in reports
are a method of supervising the panel for communication with the receiver. Entering
0
(zero) disables the check-in option. Default is
0
(zero).
Note:
If the Cell Check-In option is used, additional cell charges may apply.
Fail Time
This option is only available if 1 or more minutes are entered in the Check-In Minutes
above. Fail Time allows the SCS-1R or SCS-VR receiver to miss a defined number of
check-ins before logging that the panel is missing. For example, if CHECKIN is 20
minutes and FAIL TIME is 30 minutes, the SCS-1R receiver only indicates a Panel Not
Responding message after 30 minutes. The FAIL TIME must be equal to or greater
than the CHECKIN minutes. If CHECKIN is 20 minutes, the FAIL TIME must be 20
minutes or more. The maximum FAIL TIME is
240
minutes. Select from 0 or 3-240
minutes.
