PC1616 / PC1832 / PC1864 Programming
In order that your Communicator and your panel operate correctly together, specific panel options must be set. Take the following
steps to ensure that your Communicator and your panel work together as intended.
These options must be set at the panel keypad.
1. Program the hexadecimal digits (DCAA) in the telephone number that will be used to contact the GSM / Ethernet Commu-
nicator (panel Options 301, 302, 303, ‘Telephone Phone Number Programming’).
NOTE: The leading digit ‘D’ in the telephone number for dial tone detection is pre-programmed.
2. In Option 350, program the communication format as SIA FSK.
3. In Options 351 through Option 376, program the call direction sub-options for the phone number being used to communi-
cate using the GSM / Ethernet Communicator.
4. Option 382, sub-option 5 must be set to ON.
Option 301, 302, 303
If a legitimate telephone number is entered in these options, you must use PSTN. If a legitimate telephone number is not used,
you must use DCAA and route through the Communicator.
Options 301 is Primary communication path, and may be configured either as PSTN or DCAA. Option 302 is redundant, and
Option 303 is the backup telephone number to Option 301.
Option 350
If Option 301 (above) is set to DCAA, Option 350 must be set to SIA.
Option 382
Option 382, sub-option 5, ‘T-Link Interface Enabled’, must be set to On.
PC9155 Programming
Specific panel options must be set for the correct operation of the Communicator.
With the PC9155 panel, four telephone lines are available to backup one another. You can set up these four lines to perform in one
of two ways: Backup dialling or Alternate dialling.
In the case of Backup dialling, each of the four telephone lines will make five dialling attempts in turn, before a FTC (Failure
to Communicate) trouble is generated to the keypad.
In the case of Alternate dialling, each line makes one dialling attempt before moving on to the next line, cycling through the
four lines for a total of five times each. At that point, an FTC trouble is made to the keypad.
You can choose from among five different paths, according to your particular system requirements:
DCAA - Internal (Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2, GSM 1, GSM 2)
DCBB - Ethernet 1
DCCC - Ethernet 2 (backup)
DCDD - GSM 1
DCEE - GSM 2 (backup)
NOTE: Add a single ‘F’ as a suffix to the entry to populate the remainder of the unused field.
Option 301, 302, 303, 305
If a legitimate telephone number is entered in these options, signal will be communicated using PSTN. If DCAA is entered,
signals will be routed depending on the GS / IP module programming. If DCBB, signals will be sent to Ethernet Receiver 1,
DCCC = Ethernet Receiver 2, DCDD = GPRS Receiver 1, DCEE = GPRS Receiver 2.
Options 301, 302, 303 and 305 can be configured as Primary communication paths. Options 302, 303 and 305 may also be
configured for backup or redundant communications by using Option 383.
Option 350
If Option 301 (above) is set to DCAA, Option 350 must be set to SIA.
