smaller systems ('Feature Set' 1, 2, or 3, one panel
per account, up to 300 users). To set the 'Feature
Set', refer to "Account-Wide Panel Settings".
On Board Modem Type
- Modem Type: The type of internal or modular
modem associated with the main panel.
- Country ID
(world-wide modems): This pertains
to the country associated with the main panel.
- Modem init string
(world-wide modems): Future
Use. An optional modem command string that
will be sent to the modem before attempting to
dial-out to a central monitoring facility.
- Do not Allow Blind Dial: This sets the panel to
dial out to make a connection ONLY if it 'hears'
and recognizes the required dial tones, etc. on
the phone line.
 SIA/CID  (Central Monitoring Facility)
- Digital Account ID: This is a number used by
the receiver at the monitoring station to
identify this panel (0-9999).
Note: If the 'Format' is set as 'SIA', this value
can be 0-999999. (See "Format", to follow.)
- Format: The format of messages transmitted
to the monitoring station (SIA, Contact ID, or
SIA plus descriptive text).
Messages to be reported for each area: Refer to
"Central Station", "Reporting" under “Areas and
Related Settings", ÖIntrusion .
- Phone Number: This is the typical number
that this panel will use to transmit messages
to the monitoring station.
- Backup Phone Number: This is an
alternative line that the panel will use if it is
unable to get through on the primary phone
number.
Pertaining to phone numbers, these characters can be
included: T=Tone; P=Pulse (default); D=Pause 2
sec.; A=Star key, #=Pound key, W=Wait for second
dial-tone (A
& # only via Tone).
- Call Sequence: This is the dialling sequence
for the primary and backup numbers ('ULC',
'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.
