communication port (COM port) - a serial port on a computer designed for communicating. DMP uses
this port to connect to a receiver or direct connect to a panel.
communication type - a programming option that specifies the communication method the panel uses
to report events to DMP receivers or non-DMP receivers. Note: All formats are not available for all
panels. Consult a programming manual for availability.
DD - Digital Dialer communication to DMP receivers.
MPX - Multiplex communication format to DMP receivers.
M2E - Radionics Modem IIe communication format to non-DMP receivers.
CID - Ademco Contact ID communication format to non-DMP receivers.
4-2 - A hexadecimal communication format to non-DMP receivers.
HST - Asynchronous communication transmitted over a network to a DMP SCS-1 or SCS-1R receiver.
Contact ID (CID) - a panel-reporting format developed by Ademco that allows panels to send reports to
a receiver in DTMF format. A Contact ID report is made up of 18 DTMF digits.
control or control panel - see alarm panel.
cross zone time - the amount of time programmed into the panel during which armed cross zoned
zones must trip before an alarm report is sent to the central station. Cross zone time can be from
four to 250 seconds.
cross zoning - a zone characteristic that requires the zone to trip twice, or a second cross zoned zone
to trip, within a programmed amount of time before an alarm report is sent to the central station. An
example of cross zoning would be two interior PIRs. One PIR might trip due to an environmental
occurrence but an alarm report would not be sent until the other PIR is also tripped or the first PIR
restores and then trips again. If neither zone trips before the programmed cross zone time expires,
only a zone fault report is sent to the central station. Cross zoning reduces false alarms by requiring
two zone trips to send an alarm report. See also the DMP cross zoning application note LT-2000.
cutoff output - a panel programming option that allows you to specify individual on-board outputs to
turn off after a programmed time period. See cutoff time.
cutoff time - a programming option used with cutoff outputs that specifies how long a selected output
remains activated. The programmable range is in one-minute increments.
data - information represented in digital form, including voice, text, facsimile, and video.
day zone - a zone type that buzzes the keypad and provides a trouble report to the central station if
the zone is tripped while its area is disarmed and an alarm if the zone is tripped while the area is
armed. This is typically used with window foil, emergency zones, or other types of protection that
needs constant supervision but not always an alarm. The keypad buzzer initiated by a day zone can be
silenced by pressing any top row select key.
DD (digital dialer) - a programming option for the panel to use standard digital dialer communication
to a DMP receiver. DD is a DMP proprietary format using SDLC protocol.
DDMX - a communication option in the 1912XR Command Processor panel that can allow the panel to
communicate to the central station as a digital dialer during disarmed periods but then switch
automatically to multiplex communication when the last area in the system is armed.
defer test time - a programming option that allows the panel to defer sending in a scheduled test
