5 – Alternate Communicator Enable/Disable
ON: The system communicates using the alternate communicator.
All related programming options, reporting and supervision are
enabled when programmed via PC-Link2.
OFF: The alternate communicator and all associated programming
functionality are disabled. The auto time update feature is disabled.
NOTE:
If alternate communicator troubles are present when the
communicator is disabled, the troubles are logged, communicated,
and cleared from [*][2]. When the communicator is re-enabled, the
trouble conditions are again logged, communicated and indicated in
[*][2].
6 – AC Failure Communication Delay in Hours/Minutes
ON: The AC failure communication delay (section [377]>[002]
option 2) is programmed in hours.
OFF: The AC failure communication delay is programmed in min-
utes.
8 – Not Used
[383] Communicator Option 4
1 – Phone Number Account Code
ON: The account code communicated to the central station follows
the phone number the event is programmed to communicate on (pro-
grammed in section [310] Account Codes on page 47):
•
Receiver 1 all events will follow partition 1 account code
•
Receiver 2 all events will follow partition 2 account code
•
Receiver 3 all events will follow partition 3 account code
•
Receiver 4 all events will follow partition 4 account code
OFF: Events follow the account code assigned to each partition when
communicating.
NOTE:
This feature only works with CID
2 – 4 or 6-Digit System Account Code
ON: The programmable account code in section [310][000] is 6 dig-
its long (used for SIA format).
OFF: The programmable account code in section [310][000] is 4 dig-
its long.
5 – Communicate FTC Events
ON: The alarm system communicates FTC (failure to communicate)
events. The FTC Trouble/Restore reporting code transmission fol-
lows the call direction the events are assigned to.
OFF: FTC events are not communicated. FTC Trouble/Restore
reporting codes are communicated to the Maintenance call direction
group after the next successful communication.
6 – Not used
[384] Communicator Backup Options
2 – Receiver 2 Backup Option
ON: Receiver 2 backs up Receiver 1. Receiver 2 is only used if an
FTC event is detected on Receiver 1.
Receiver 2 uses the same format programmed for Receiver 1.
OFF: Receiver 2 is independent and will communicate if a number
and format are programmed.
3 – Receiver 3 Backup Option
ON: Receiver 3 backs up Receiver 2. Receiver 3 is only used if an
FTC event is detected on Receiver 2.
Receiver 3 uses the same format programmed for Receiver 2.
OFF: Receiver 3 is independent and will communicate if a number
and format are programmed.
4 – Receiver 4 Backup Option
ON: Receiver 4 backs up Receiver 3. Receiver 4 is only used if an
FTC event is detected on Receiver 3.
Receiver 4 uses the same format programmed for Receiver 3.
OFF: Receiver 4 is independent and will communicate if a number
and format are programmed.
5.3.11 DLS Programming
Downloading allows programming of the entire alarm system via a
computer. All functions and features, changes and status, such as
trouble conditions and open zones, can be viewed or programmed by
downloading.
The following downloading options are available:
•
6-hour window on start up: When the alarm system is powered
up, downloading access is available for 6 hours. This provides
the option of downloading without having to complete any key-
pad programming.
•
Double call method: The installer initiates a downloading win-
dow by calling the alarm system, hanging up, then calling back
again.
•
User enabled DLS window: The user initiates a downloading
window using [*][6][Master code][05]. This can be a 6-hour
window where the installer initiates and terminates download-
ing as many times as necessary, or it can be a 1-hour, 1 use win-
dow.
•
User initiated call-up: the user can initiate a downloading ses-
sion using [*][6][Master Code][06].
•
On-site downloading using PC-Link: The installer connects a
computer directly to the alarm system to perform on-site down-
loading.
•
Auto event buffer upload: The Event buffer is automatically
uploaded to the DLS/SA computer when it reaches 75% full.
Refer to the DLS/SA programming sections described below for con-
figuration options.
[401] DLS/SA Options
1 – Double Call
ON: Calls for downloading or SA are answered if a successful double
call routine is detected. Have the downloading computer call the sys-
tem and let the telephone line ring once or twice. After 1 or 2 rings,
hang up. If called back within the duration of the double call timer
(section [405]), the alarm system answers on the first ring.
OFF: Incoming calls are not answered using the double call routine
unless the user enables the DLS window.
NOTE:
This feature controls the DLS window for PSTN connec-
tions only.
2 – User Enables/Disables DLS
ON: The [*][6][Master Code][05] command enables a 6-hour win-
dow where, on power-up, downloading calls are answered if a suc-
cessful double call routine is detected.
OFF: The user cannot enable a downloading window.
3 – DLS CallBack
ON: When a downloading call is answered, both the computer and
the alarm system hang up. The alarm system then calls the download-
ing computer back using the downloading telephone number and
begins the DLS session.
NOTE:
Disable this option if using more than one downloading
computer.
OFF: After successful validation, the downloading computer gains
immediate access to the alarm system.
