Ethernet/Cellular Programming Options
3G Alarm Communicator Installation Manual
[2] Cellular Receiver 1 Supervised
Default (OFF)
ON
: Cellular Receiver 1 will be supervised and heartbeats will be sent to Cellular Receiver 1 based on
the supervision interval programmed in Section [004]. If ACK to heartbeat is not received, it is retrans-
mitted every 5 seconds. Failure to ACK 2 consecutive heartbeats will reset the radio.
OFF
: Cellular Receiver 1 will not be supervised. When disabled, heartbeat is not sent to the receiver.
Supervisory trouble is indicated.
NOTE:
Cellular Receiver 2 can not be supervised.
[3] Supervision Type
Default (OFF)
ON
: Heartbeat 1 (Commercial Supervision). This supervision type is suitable for applications where
swap detection is required on the supervisory packet.
OFF
: Heartbeat 2 (Residential Supervision). This supervision type is suitable for applications where
supervision of the communication path to the receiver is required. (no swap detection).
NOTE:
Commercial supervision is more data intensive than residential supervision and should
only be used when required to meet the approval for the installation.
[4] Primary Path
Default (OFF -
TL2603G/TL260
) (ON -
3G2060
)
ON: Cellular channel is the primary path. Ethernet channel is the secondary path, if it exists.
OFF: Ethernet channel is the primary path in a dual Communicator. Cellular channel is the second-
ary path.
[5] Redundant Communications
ON
: Events will be communicated to Ethernet Receiver 1 and Cellular Receiver 1 at the same
time. Events will be communicated to Ethernet Receiver 2 and Cellular Receiver 2 at the same
time. As long as the event is successfully communicated to 1 of the 2 paths (Ethernet or Cellular)
the Communicator will move on to the next event.
NOTE:
Do not configure Ethernet Receiver 1 and Cellular Receiver 1 to communicate using a
common receiver configuration (i.e., identical Receiver IP address and Receiver Remote Port).
OFF
: Events will be communicated to the receivers individually.Toggle should be OFF when guar-
anteed message delivery to both receivers is required.
[6] Remote Firmware Upgrade
Default (ON)
ON
: The Communicator module firmware can be remotely upgraded using the Ethernet/Cellular paths.
OFF
: The Communicator module firmware can not be remotely upgraded. Local firmware upgrade is
still possible.
[7] Alternate Test Transmissions
Default (OFF).
ON
: When the periodic test transmission interval occurs, the test transmission will alternate between
being sent to the primary and secondary receivers with each test transmission interval.
OFF
: When the periodic test transmission interval occurs, the test transmission will be sent to the pro-
grammed receivers, based on the settings of the periodic test transmission reporting codes.
[8] Cellular Low Signal Trouble.
Default (OFF)
This option masks the Low Signal trouble from generating Cellular trouble.
ON
: A Cellular Trouble event is generated when the radio signal level falls below threshold level (aver-
age CSQ level is 4 or less).
OFF:
A Cellular Trouble event is
not
generated when the radio signal level falls below threshold level
(average CSQ level is 4 or less).
[006] System Toggle Options 2
[1]
Ethernet 1 Receiver Enabled.
Default (ON) (OFF for 3G2060).
ON
: Ethernet Receiver 1 is enabled.
OFF
: Ethernet Receiver 1 is disabled.
