Modem: Select this option to communicate using a standard computer modem to a panel that has

a DMP Fast Modem installed or to the 2400 baud programming dialer of an XR150/XR350/XR550

Series or XR100/XR500 Series panel. First configure your computer's modem in the Modem Tab.

Then configure the modem as described below.

Modem Special: For XR150/XR350/XR550 Series, XR500 Series (Version 112 or higher) and XR100

Series panel communication requirements, when a slower baud rate that does not fluctuate is

needed to ensure data integrity. Modem Special allows this type of control when using a computer

modem to dial out.

Note: Only one modem can be used. Select the correct one for your operation.

Cellular: Remote Link communicates with the panel through a cellular connection using a SIM/

MEID card.

Remote Key: (Only operators with authority for Remote Options can view the Remote Key) Enter a

numerical code up to 8 digits long that the panel should use as a password to verify its identity to the

Remote Link computer. The panel must give the correct key to Remote Link before any programming

may take place. All panels are shipped from the factory with the key preset as blank.

For security reasons, the Remote Key cannot be viewed from a keypad connected to the panel.

Note: The programming options listed below will vary according to the type of connection you

select in the Type field discussed above.
