'UL', 'Long', or 'Fx Standard').
(In Canada, select ULC or FX Standard.)
If you need more information, look for "S001:00" in the
Commissioning Guide or Advanced Programming
Guide for your system.
- Prioritized Reporting (V4.4): Allows
transmitting alarms in a prioritized manner
(instead of all events in the order they occur).
- Alarm Report Mode: The operation of a
Bell-103 connection to a central monitoring
facility (built-in 300 baud modem/dialler):
+ None: Bell 103 reporting disabled;
+ Primary/Dual: Built-in modem/dialler enabled for
transmitting alarms to a central monitoring facility
(simultaneous with HSC/SIP, if applicable);
+ Backup: Bell 103 used only as backup if HSC (or
IP) failure.
(IP Connection--if V3.3 panel and software)
: IP
connections (SIP reporting) are documented separately.
More
: Refer to the installation guide provided with the
IP interface (may also be in PDF format on your
Director CD).
(HSC
): An HSC connection requires a high-security
communications module, and Mark-7 / DVACS service
(Canada). HSC modules require some set-up locally
through an LCD keypad (for details, refer to the
commissioning or hardware guide for your system).
SIA / CID Test
- Frequency (and Time/Day Settings): The
length of time between (and time of
occurrence for) automated trials on the
reporting channels (HSC and/or dialler--as per
the "Report Mode" above).
This allows 'staggering' the communications test times
for multiple panels. With "Automatic", the time will be
random from 1:00 - 4:00 AM.
UL Listed Systems
: This must occur at least daily.
- Backup Frequency: Future use.
SIP / HSC (Central Monitoring
Facility)
- SIP Mode and SIP Account (V4.4): These
settings pertain to reporting to a central
monitoring facility through an IP (LAN/WAN)
connection or an HSC module (Canada).
SIP Account (IP only): This is obtained from your
central station rep.
SIP / HSC-IP reporting
: IP-based reporting can be
through a standard IP connection, or via HSC-IP for
secure communications. The use of HSC-IP protocol
is determined by the panel firmware, IP module
type/firmware, and the IP module setup.
More: "IP Connectivity"
A Bell 103
(300 baud) connection can be used as
backup if desired (see "Mode" under SIA/CID ;
previous/above). With SIP reporting, an HSC/printer
module can be used only for printer functions.
SIP Reporting and Auto-Dial-Out to Guardall Director
:
With SIP reporting to a central monitoring facility, the
"Reporting Mode" (see previous/above) is supported
only through an "IP" connection. With a modem
connection to a Director PC, alarms / events will be
transmitted each time a connection is initiated through
this software.
- SIP baud rate: The communications speed
for reporting to a central monitoring facility via
IP (SIP reporting).
- Full report by area: Reporting will be limited
to "Alarms Only" for areas set for this.
Otherwise, the "Reporting" setting for each
area will be ignored, and reporting will include
"All Events" for all areas.
Messages to be reported for each area: Refer to
"Central Station", "Reporting" under “Areas and
Related Settings", Intrusion .
- HSC timeout: The duration for an
unsuccessful communication attempt through
a high-security module (Canada) before it will
be considered an HSC comms failure.
- HSC SIP Autoset: Future Use.
Paging (Signal a Numeric Pager)
UK/ACPO
: This feature is not supported with
UK/ACPO operation.
- Paging Mode: Future Use. This allows
enabling or disabling numeric paging, and
selecting the format/protocol to be used.
None: Numeric paging disabled.
Numeric semadigit w/handshake
: North America with
handshaking.
Blind SemaDigit
: North America without handshaking.
SemaPhone
: Common for Europe.
- Pager Phone Number: This is the phone
number of the (numeric) pager to be notified
when any of the paging outputs are triggered.
