same serial number, the "Panel Code"
numbers would have to be unique
.
Paging Feature
: The Panel Code number
is used with the numeric paging feature
(see "Paging ", to follow/below). For the
paging feature to be used in a multi-panel
account, Panel Code numbers must be
unique
, or sequential / offset output-
numbers must be set up.
To set up sequential output numbers for a
multi-panel account, refer to the "Display

Displayed Item-Numbers".
- Third Party Password: This is a
security ‘key’ used by the software to
block an unauthorized connection to
the panel (e.g., another PC running
the VEREX Director software).
For a new panel, this can be set as desired. To
upload data from an existing panel, this setting must
match the one stored at the panel.
Panel Communications to Director
These items pertain to panel-initiated communications
to the Director PC.
- Callback to Director: This sets whether or not
panel-initiated communications will be available,
and the type of device that the panel will be
using to make the connection.
Note: This is supported when each panel has its own
dedicated (external) modem--via 8 wire serial
connection (or IP-interface--if ≥ V3.3 Director
software). Alarms and events will be transmitted as
per the "Reporting Mode" (to follow), plus each time a
connection is initiated to update/sync panel settings.
Tip: The basic connection type is set for the "Panel
Group" associated with this panel. For details, go to
"Panels, Panel Groups, and Related Settings", and
look for "PC Connection Type".
- Director Phone Number (modem connections
only)
: The phone number to be used whenever
this panel initiates a connection with the
computer—to transmit alarms, and for a
'Forced Configuration Callback' (details to
follow);
- Reporting Mode: With "Callback to Director" set
as your applicable modem/device (prev.), you
can set how the panel will transmit messages to
the VEREX Director software (None, blocks of
256 events, or individual alarms as they occur).
Exception: For a Bell 103 connection (small systems,
max. 300 users), the reporting mode is not supported.
Tip
: Reporting to a central monitoring facility is set
through  SIA/CID  or  SIP/HSC  (to
follow / below).
- Interface IP Address and Interface IP Port (IP
connections only)
: These settings pertain to an IP
(LAN/WAN) or secure/encrypted IP connection
to a panel.
Tip: This can be an IP address, or a name (FQDN).
Contact your IT rep. for assistance if needed. For
remote access (different PC) with certificate
authentication, this value must be as supported by the
certificate.

- Number of Rings
(built-in Bell 103 modem): The
number of rings before this panel answers the
phone when a connection attempt is initiated
from a remote PC.
An external modem is set up using physical switches
and/or terminal communications software. For details,
refer to the installation topic: "Windows Modem
Setup".
- Answering Machine Defeat (built-in Bell 103,
or W.W. modem)
: When calling to update the
panel, if the remote PC rings 1-2 times,
hangs-up, and then calls again, the panel will
pick up immediately on the 2
nd
call (within 1
minute);
- Force Configuration Callback
(built-in Bell
103, or W.W. modem)
: When a connection
attempt is issued from a remote PC, the panel
will hang-up and redial to connect with the
computer at the expected location (phone #).
