Section 5: Programming
3 – Pulse Dialing
ON: The alarm system dials telephone numbers using pulse (rotary) dialing.
OFF: The alarm system dials telephone numbers using DTMF (dual tone multi-frequency) touch-tone dialing.
4 – Pulse Dial after 5th Attempt
ON: If DTMF dialing is enabled, the alarm system dials telephone numbers using DTMF dialing for the first 4 attempts. If
unsuccessful, the alarm system switches to pulse (rotary) dialing for the remaining attempts.
OFF: If DTMF dialing is enabled, the alarm system dials telephone numbers using DTMF dialing for all dialing attempts.
5 – Parallel Communications
ON: Parallel communications is enabled. The alarm system attempts to communicate through all available receiver paths
(PSTN and IP (IP=Ethernet or Cellular) at the same time. Once acknowledgment is provided by any of the receivers, the
alarm system communicates the next event. If more than one receiver is configured for PSTN, the backup procedure
described below is followed.
OFF: Parallel communications is disabled. If receiver 1 fails, the alarm system attempts to communicate with the next avail-
able receiver (2-4) in sequence.
Note:
When Parallel Communications is enabled it will override Communicator Backup Options, see "[384] Communicator
Backup Options" on page 128 for communicator backup programming.
6 – Alternate Dial
ON: After each failed dialing attempt, the communicator switches to the next backup receiver in the sequence:
l
Receiver 2 backs up Receiver 1
l
Receiver 3 backs up Receiver 2
l
Receiver 4 backs up Receiver 3
This continues until communication is successful or the sequence has been repeated 5 times (depending on the number of
maximum dialing attempts). If all 5 attempts fail, an FTC trouble for the primary phone number is logged. All backup receivers
automatically use the same call directions and format as the primary receiver.
OFF: After 5 failed attempts to communicate with the primary receiver, the communicator switches to the next backup
receiver in the sequence and makes up to 5 more attempts. This continues until communication is successful or until all
backup receivers fail, at which point an FTC trouble for the primary number is logged.
7 – Reduced Dialing Attempts
ON: If a TLM trouble is present, The alarm system immediately attempts to call the backup receiver. This option only applies
to PSTN. Backup communications must be enabled. See option 5, Parallel Communications.
A minimum of two receivers should be enabled for this feature to operate as intended. This feature should not be enabled
unless the panel is programmed to use backup communication paths.
OFF: If a TLM trouble is present, the number of dialing attempts programmed shall be attempted before moving on to the
backup receiver.
8 – Activity Delinquency
ON: Inactivity on a partition for a programmed duration (section [377] option 002, Delinquency Transmission Delay) transmits
a Delinquency code to the central station. This option is designed to help monitor the elderly or disabled. The counter is
reset if zone activity is detected or if the system is armed. The Delinquency Transmission Delay is in hours.
Note:
Delinquency code is not transmitted while Away armed. Activity on bypassed zones does not affect this timer.
OFF: The Delinquency reporting code is sent when the programmed number of days for delinquency (section [377]) expires
without the partition being Armed. Once the code is sent, the timer is not started again until the partition has been armed.
Each day programmed in the counter represents one day plus the time it takes for the partition to reach midnight. To disable
this feature, program 000 in section [377]>[002] option 5.
[381] Communicator Option 2
1 – Keypad Ringback
ON: When the Opening After Alarm reporting code is successfully transmitted to a programmed telephone number, the
keypad emits a series of 8 beeps to confirm to the occupant that the code was sent and received. Ringback occurs for each
successfully reported Opening After Alarm code.
OFF: When the Opening After Alarm reporting code is successfully transmitted to a programmed telephone number, the
keypad does not sound ringback.
