Section 6: Programming
[851] Alternate Communicator Programming
The programming sections described in this document can be viewed at the keypad. To start programming, enter [*] [8][installer code]
[851] [section number], where section number is the 3-digit section number referenced in this section. Installers may review/record
programming options at the panel keypad.
System Options
[001] Ethernet IP Address
Default (000.000.000.000)
Enter the IP address of the communicator. Ensure that the IP address is unique to the communicator on the local network.
Format is 4 fields, each field is a 3 digit decimal number. Valid range: 000-255. If an IP address is programmed in this section, the unit
operates with static IP (DHCP disabled). Sections [002] and [003] must also be programmed when using static IP addresses.
Note:
Default for this section is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enabled. When enabled, the DHCP server sets values
for: IP address [001], subnet mask [002] and gateway [003]. Programming an IP address in this section disables DHCP (Static IP).
[002] Ethernet IP Subnet Mask
Default (255.255.255.000)
Enter the Ethernet IP subnet mask of the communicator. Format is 4 fields, each field is 3 digits. Valid range: 000-255.
Note:
If DHCP is enabled, the DHCP server assigns the subnet mask for this section and the programmed value is ignored.
[003] Ethernet Gateway IP Address
Default (000.000.000.000)
Enter the Ethernet gateway IP address of the communicator. The gateway IP address is required when a router is used on the local
network to reach the destination IP address specified in section [001]. Format is 4 fields, each field is a 3-digit decimal number.
Valid range: 000-255.
Note:
If DHCP is enabled, the DHCP server assigns the gateway IP address for this section and the programmed value will be
ignored.
[004] Receiver Supervision Interval
Default (135)
When receiver supervision is enabled (ON) in section [005] toggle option [3], the unit sends heartbeats to Ethernet receiver 1 or
cellular receiver 1 to test the communications path. Use this section to set the interval time (in seconds) when heartbeats are sent to
the receivers. Valid range 00000-65535 seconds. If the programmed value is less than 10 seconds, supervision is disabled.
[005] System Toggle Options
[1] Ethernet Receiver 1 Supervised
Default (OFF)
ON:
Ethernet receiver 1 is supervised and heartbeats are sent to Ethernet receiver 1 based on the supervision interval
programmed in section [004].
OFF:
Ethernet receiver 1 is not supervised. When disabled, heartbeat 1 is sent to the Ethernet receiver once every hour,
regardless of supervision type (heartbeat 1 or 2). The heartbeat is resent every 5 seconds until ACK is received. If no event or
heartbeat ACK is received after (receiver supervision in 75 seconds), supervisory trouble is indicated.
Note:
Ethernet receiver 2 can not be supervised.
[2] Cellular Receiver 1 Supervised
Default (OFF)
ON:
Cellular receiver 1 is supervised and heartbeats are sent to cellular receiver 1 based on the supervision interval
programmed in section [004]. If ACK to heartbeat is not received, it is retransmitted every 5 seconds. Failure to ACK two
consecutive heartbeats resets the radio.
OFF:
Cellular receiver 1 is not 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.
