panel's phone number.
Note: Modems from some manufacturers require a comma (,) for a pause rather than
the letter P. Check your Modem documentation before entering the panel phone number.
Dial: Select how you want the receiver to handle the phone line connection with the panel.
This field will only appear when you select SCS-1 / SCS-105 or Modem in the Type field.
No: Do not dial the panel phone number to make contact with the panel. This is used
mainly for multiplex and asynchronous accounts.
Yes: Use the panel phone number entered in the Account Information file to dial the
subscriber's panel.
Pickup Only: Select this option to have Remote Link pickup when the panel calls in to the
receiver. This allows Remote Link to seize the panel when the panel calls in. The following
example illustrates how to perform a Pickup Only using Remote Link.
A Central Station Operator calls the Installing Technician using the same phone line as the
SCS-105. The Installing Technician answers the phone using the same phone line as the panel.
Using Remote Link, the Central Station Operator selects Pickup Only from the Dial drop-down
menu and SCS-1/SCS-105 from the Type drop-down menu. Then the Operator will select Panel
> Connect and press the Connect button to connect with the Technician's panel.
When the SCS-105 goes on-line (the amber OL LED will light) the Central Station Operator tells
the Technician to enter 984 Command at the keypad. The Technician then selects NBR and
enters any number other than zero (0). Remote Link will then seize the phone line and the
Operator and Technician hang up their phones.
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.
Note: Cellular can not be the Backup Communication type if Cellular is selected as the Primary.
Failed Com m unication
The Primary Communication type will be attempted two times. Remote Link will display
"Connecting to panel on Primary Connection" while attempting to establish a connection.
If communication through the Primary Connection type is unsuccessful, Remote Link will attempt
to establish communication through the Backup Communication type two times. Remote Link will
display "Connecting to panel on Secondary Connection" while attempting a connection.
In the event communication is unsuccessful through the Primary and Backup Communication type,
Remote Link will display "Unable to connect to panel".
