6 XR2500F Fire Detection Specification
4.9 Communication
A. The system shall be capable of signaling two (2) remote monitoring station receivers utilizing four (4)
telephone numbers of 32 digits each using two (2) separate switched telephone network lines.
B. Signaling to central station or remote station receivers shall occur as follows: If two (2) unsuccessful
attempts are made on the first line to the first number, the system shall make two (2) attempts on the
second line to the first number. If these attempts are unsuccessful, the system shall make two (2)
further attempts on the first line to the second number, and then two (2) attempts on the second line to
the second number. It shall then make two (2) more attempts on the first line to the first number, for a
total of ten (10) attempts. After the tenth unsuccessful attempt, dialing shall stop and all alphanumeric
annunciators shall display “TRANSMIT TRBL”. Should another event occur that requires a report to be
transmitted, the dialing process shall be repeated.
C. The communicator shall be capable of reporting all zones of alarm, supervisory and trouble conditions, as
well as system status information, with individual and distinct messages to a central station or a remote
station.
D. The system shall be capable of communicating at 300 baud using the DMP Serial 3 format.
E. The system shall be capable of supporting Network communication with digital dialer backup, existing
Ethernet data networks, satellite communication, fiber optic networks, local area networks, wide area
networks, cellular communication, and retail data networks.
F. The FACP shall be capable of TCP or UDP network communication with a retry time between three (3)
and fifteen (15) seconds for a total of one (1) minute. If communication is unsuccessful the FACP shall be
capable of attempting backup communication through any of the available communication methods to
the same receiver or a backup receiver.
G. Network communication between the FACP and the receiver shall be in a proprietary communication
format.
H. The FACP shall be capable of supporting Dynamic Host Communication Protocol (DHCP) Internet Protocol
(IP) addressing.
I. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) shall list network communication by the FACP for Grade AA High-Line
Security and Central Station Signalling.
J. The FACP shall be capable of two-way network communication using standard Ethernet 10BaseT in a LAN,
WAN, or Internet configuration.
K. The FACP shall be capable of communication by means of a 128 Bit AES Rijndael Encryption process
certified by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) to an SCS-1R receiver with a built-in
Encryption Alarm Router.
