SmartDial Protocols
Point ID Reporting
This is an alarm reporting protocol which allows additional data to be transmitted to the central
station without resorting to a modem format. It uses DTMF transmission with a message
content significantly different from standard fast format protocols.
With normal alarm reporting, a single alarm code is transmitted to the central station when
one or several circuits have been triggered. This method does not pinpoint the active circuit.
With Point ID each circuit will be uniquely identified thus aiding the police to investigate the
sources of alarms.
A list of supported Point ID codes is provided in the Windsor control panel manual.
SmartDial Protocols
Guardall Alarm Format
It is possible to send alarm reports using the Guardall format to a MAS equipped central
station or a GuardStation system. This is a modem format which offers many advantages
over standard alarm messages. Alarm data is sent in the form of an ASCII string containing
the date, time, event identifier and event status.
SmartDial Protocols
Paging Reports
SmartDial can be programmed to report alarm events to a remote hand held radio pager. In
the UK paging formats supported are Mercury and Vodapage, and can send information in
either Direct Numeric or Stored Message Mode.
• Direct Numeric : Message is received is as follows : (4 digit site ID) + (1 digit Ademco
Event) + (1 digit Channel in Alarm).
• Stored Message : This allows a more descriptive message to be received, but cannot
display the site ID. The channel in alarm is transmitted to the pager where one of the six
pre-programmed text descriptions is displayed, for example, FIRE or BURGLARY.
SmartDial Protocols
Primary/Secondary Reporting
SmartDial will make up to 3 connect attempts to call the receiver at the Primary Telephone
number in the configuration store. If all these attempts fail, and if a telephone number has
been entered in the Secondary Number Store, it will then make up to 3 attempts to call the
receiver at the Secondary Telephone number. If all these attempts fail, then the
communications failure status is sent to the panel. As soon as a receiver is contacted, and all
the outstanding alarms sent, then the sequence is halted. If a message is successfully
transmitted then Comms OK is reported to the panel.
SmartDial Protocols
Dual Reporting
SmartDial will make up to 3 connect attempts to call the receiver at the Primary Telephone
number. As soon as an attempt is successful, or all attempts fail, then it will then make up to 3
attempts to call the receiver at the Dual Telephone number, if a Dual number has been
defined. When both receivers have been contacted, and all outstanding alarms sent to both,
then the sequence is halted.

Downloading
SmartDial Plus and Super can be used to remotely control Windsor and to transfer the
configuration and event log. These features are only available if you use the GuardStation PC
software with a V23 half duplex modem. Refer to the GuardStation manual for full details.
