7. Perform the following steps for initial power on of the panel with Communicator installed:
a. Reconnect the telephone line, AC power and battery + connector to the Panel. (the Communicator and
Panel will power up together).
b. Observe that the Communicator’s red and yellow LEDs are flashing together while it initializes. The red
and yellow LEDs will continue to flash until the Communicator has successfully communicated to all pro-
grammed receivers. If this is the first time the Communicator has been powered up, the module will
request programming remotely.
NOTE: Initialization may take several minutes to complete. Red and yellow LEDs will flash together dur-
ing initialization. Do not continue to next step until the red and yellow LEDs have stopped flashing. (If
only the yellow LED is flashing, there is a Communicator trouble and the Green LEDs are not valid for
Communicator Placement Test). Correct trouble indicated by flashes on yellow LED before continuing.
(See Table 6 for troubleshooting assistance).

PC1616/1832/1864 Initial Programming
Perform the following steps to ensure that the Communicator and the panel work together as intended.
These Sections must be programmed at the panel keypad. Enter
[*][8][Installer Code][Section Number]
. Record
any values that are modified from their default, in the appropriate Worksheets for the Panel or Communicator.
1. In Panel Section [167] program 060 (seconds).
2. A valid Account Number must be entered in Section [851][021]. See Programming Section for details.
3. In Panel Sections [301], [302], and [303], program the central station telephone number that will be used for
the GPRS/Ethernet Communicator. Valid entries are:
a. A valid telephone number; signals will be routed to the central station using the Public Switched Tele-
phone Network (PSTN).
b. DCAA (Receiver 0); signals will be routed to GPRS/Ethernet Receivers 1 - 4 depending on programming
in Communicator Section [851] [006].
c. Panel Section [301] sets the Primary communication path, and may be configured as either PSTN or
Communicator routing. Panel Section [302] is redundant, and Panel Section [303] is the backup tele-
phone number for Panel Section [301].
NOTE: The leading digit ‘D’ (dial tone detection) in the telephone number is pre-programmed.
4. In Panel Section [350], program the communication format as CID (03) or SIA FSK (04).
NOTE: If any of the panel telephone numbers have been set to DCAA, this section must be set to [04 ].
5. In Panel Sections [351] - [376], program the Communicator call direction options. Refer to the Panel Installa-
tion Manual for options.
6. In Panel Section [382], ensure Toggle Option [5] ‘GPRS/Ethernet Module Enabled’ is ON. If this option is
OFF, the yellow status LED on the Communicator will indicate ‘Panel Supervision Trouble’ (2 flashes) and
the unit can not be programmed via PC-LINK cable.
7. In Panel Section [401] set Toggle Option [2] ‘User Enable DLS’ to ON in order to perform panel DLS session
through GPRS or Ethernet.
