• Receiver Window: This is the supervision timeout that needs to be configured at the central station receiver.
• Recommended Values: This is the recommended heartbeat interval that should be programmed into the Communicator module.
• For ULC passive systems (not using heartbeat supervision), the daily test transmission must be enabled over each available communication
channel Section [125] and [225]. When programming with Connect24, the recommended intervals will be programmed automatically
when the required window is selected.
[005] System Toggle Options
[1] Ethernet Receiver 1 Supervised
Default (OFF)
(TL255-SM-NA/TL2553G-SM only).
ON: Ethernet Receiver 1 will be supervised and heartbeats will be sent to Ethernet Receiver 1 based on the supervision interval
programmed in Section [004].
OFF: Ethernet Receiver 1 will not be supervised. When disabled, heartbeat 1 is sent to the Ethernet receiver once every hour,
regardless of supervision type (heartbeat 1 or 2). The heartbeat is resent every 5 seconds until ACK. If no event or heartbeat ACK
is received after (Receiver Supervision Interval + 75 seconds), Supervisory trouble is indicated.
NOTE: Ethernet Receiver 2 can not be supervised.
[2] Cellular Receiver 1 Supervised
Default (OFF)
(3G2055-SM/TL2553G-SM only)
ON: Cellular Receiver 1 will be supervised and heartbeats will be sent to Cellular Receiver 1 based on the supervision interval
programmed in Section [004]. If ACK to heartbeat is not received, it is retransmitted every 5 seconds. Failure to ACK 2 consec-
utive heartbeats will reset the radio.
OFF: Cellular Receiver 1 will not be supervised. When disabled, heartbeat is not sent to the receiver.
NOTE: Cellular Receiver 2 can not be supervised.
[3] Supervision Type
Default (OFF)
ON: Heartbeat 1 (Commercial Supervision). This supervision type is suitable for applications where swap detection is required
on the supervisory packet.
OFF: Heartbeat 2 (Residential Supervision). This supervision type is suitable for applications where supervision of the commu-
nication path to the receiver is required. (no swap detection).
NOTE: Commercial supervision is more data intensive than residential supervision and should only be used when required to
meet the approval for the installation.
[4] Cellular Primary
Default (OFF - TL255-SM/TL2553G-SM) (ON - 3G2055-SM).
ON: Cellular channel is the primary path. Ethernet channel is the secondary path, if it exists.
OFF: Ethernet channel is the primary path in a dual Communicator. Cellular channel is the secondary path.
NOTE: When the Communicator receives a Short Message Service (SMS) request to connect to Downloading Software (DLS),
it will always use the primary path first to connect to DLS. If the primary path fails, it will use the secondary path.
[5] Redundant Communications
Default (OFF)
(TL2553G-SM only).
ON: Events will be communicated to Ethernet Receiver 1 and Cellular Receiver 1 at the same time. Events will be communi-
cated to Ethernet Receiver 2 and Cellular Receiver 2 at the same time. As long as the event is successfully communicated to 1 of
the 2 paths (Ethernet or Cellular) the Communicator will move on to the next event.
NOTE: Do not configure Ethernet Receiver 1 and Cellular Receiver 1 to communicate using a common receiver configuration
(i.e., identical Receiver IP address and Receiver Remote Port).
OFF: Events will be communicated to the receivers individually.
NOTE: This Toggle should be OFF for applications where guaranteed message delivery to both receivers is required.
[6] Remote Firmware Upgrade
Default (ON).
ON: The Communicator module firmware can be remotely upgraded using the Ethernet/Cellular paths.
