Recipients
Use this option to specify the telephone numbers and/or IP addresses to use to send
messages to the ARC. You do this by selecting contacts from the Contacts List (page 80).
Tel. Recipient 1
If you want to send messages to the ARC by telephone, select a contact from the
Contacts List, and then either the first or second telephone number defined for that
contact. Otherwise, select None if you do not want to send messages to the ARC by
telephone.
Tel. Recipient 2
You can specify a second telephone recipient in the same way as for Tel Recipient 1.
The control unit can use the second recipient only if
ARC Reporting
– Call Mode
is
set to Alternate.
IP Recipient 1
If you want to send messages to the ARC over Ethernet, select a contact from the
Contacts List, and then specify the port number (default 2749). The control panel
communicates with the ARC using the IP address of the selected contact and the
port number. Select None if you do not want to send messages to the ARC over
Ethernet.
IP Recipient 2
You can specify a second IP recipient in the same way as for IP Recipient 1. The
control unit can use the second recipient only if
ARC Reporting
– Call Mode
is set to
Alternate.
Account Numbers
Use this option to store an ARC account numbers.
If you are configuring a partitioned system, the control unit gives you the opportunity to
store an account number for each partition. If you are configuring a part-setting system,
you can store one account number.
With CID reporting, the system reports alarms using a four-digit account code.
With Fast Format and SIA reporting, you can use four-, five- or six-digit codes. The control
unit pads five-digit codes to six digits using a leading zero. The control unit leaves four-
and six-digit codes unchanged.
Note:
If you need to add a letter to the account code, press the numbers keys repeatedly
until the letter you want appears on the display. See page 11.
Report Type
Use this option to choose the report type to send to the ARC.
The report types available are: Fast Format, Contact ID, SIA 1, SIA 2, Scancom SIA 3,
Extended SIA 3 and Extended SIA3 v2.
Fast Fmt Channels
(See Appendix A for a brief description of Fast Format.)
Note:
Eaton does not recommend using the optional GSM module for Fast Format
communications. The GSM network introduces too great a variation in the delay between
signal and response. Tests carried out by Eaton show that different cell towers from the
same providers give different results.
