Regular connectivity checks
Control panel can regularly report its status. If Grade 2 or Grade 3 security level is used, connectivity check reports
must be configured. Based on the time set control panel will send reports to:
User, if User Reporting is on and Test/Misc is checked (see 6.12 Report transmission to user)
Centralised Monitoring System, if CMS Reporting is on (see 6.11 Report transmission to CMS )
For reports to be sent to the user, Enable must be checked at Event Summary > 37 Periodical Test 602. Periodical
test report also includes additional information about GSM signal strength, control panel power supply and
battery statuses. This information is sent to the Central Monitoring System separately. For CMS to receive it,
Event Summary > 41 GSM Level 660 must be checked. This setting is on by default in factory settings.
Connectivity checks can be done in two ways: with day-based or minute-based reference time. Settings for
connectivity checks can be adjusted in System Options > System general > Timers.
Day-based reference reports can be sent at the defined time at the specified interval in days. Choose
Days under the Test period and enter the number of days between check reports sent. Enter report
sending time in the Test time field.
Minute-based reference reports can be sent at the specified interval in minutes. Choose Minutes under
the Test period and enter the period specifying the frequency of sending the reports. Reference time
counting will begin with control panel restart and occur for the first time once the settings are entered
in the control panel by clicking the Write button.
Connectivity checks are off if Test disable is selected under the Test period.
