HST BCKUP NO YES
Host Backup
After displaying the Retry time prompt, the keypad displays HST BCKUP NO YES.
Select YES to enable Host Backup. Select NO to disable Host Backup. You can still
program 2nd line for a different communication type, such as CELL or DD.
Note: Refer to the Appendix for more information about using Host Backup.
3.2.3
TEST FREQ: NONE
NONE REG 7 30
Test Frequency
Species the communication test interval for the host backup. This displays if HST
BCKUP is programmed as YES.
NONE - No communication test is made on the host backup.
REG - A HST BCKUP communication test is made each time the regular
communication test is completed.
7 - A communication test is made every 7 days at the test time programmed for the
regular communication test. Test time deferrals are disregarded.
30 - A communication test is made every 30 days at the test time programmed for
the regular communication test. Test time deferrals are disregarded.
If the HST BCKUP test fails to communicate after 1 minute, the regular
communication channel sends a Warning: Panel Backup Communication Fail (S12)
report. The next time the panel sends a report over the HST BCKUP, the regular
communication channel sends a BACKUP COMMUNICATION LINE RESTORED (S04).

MODEM SETUP:
Modem Setup
The keypad displays MODEM SETUP:. Press COMMAND. Enter up to two lines of 16
characters to equal 32 characters for the string that is sent to the device connected
to the 462N Network Interface Card.
If the network device is an iCOM and you are using Host Backup, refer below for the
iCOM or iCOM-E setup string. If you are using a non-DMP network device such as a
CDPD Modem, refer to the device’s literature for the setup string.
Note: If the iCOM is only being used for the main host communication (Host Backup
is NO), do NOT enter a Modem Setup String here.
There are two ways to use the Host Backup and Modem Setup features to send
messages through the backup Host. You could have two 462N cards on the panel
and assign the Modem Setup String to send the backup messages through a backup
network device, such as a cellular radio. Alternatively, you can have one 462N card
and assign the Modem Setup String to route the backup messages to the backup
receiver.
Note: If you are using a non-DMP network device and an iCOM, use the non-DMP
device as the backup device. If not, the Modem Setup String entered overrides the
iCOM or iCOM-E IP Address and is not used for the non-DMP network device.
The Modem Setup String for the iCOM should be entered as follows: AT#UCXXX.XXX.X
XX.XXX#PPPPP. Also enter the UDP Port Number in place of the Ps. The default port
number is 2001. To enter # (pound sign), press 0 and the far right top row Select
key. To enter . (periods), press 0 and the second from the left Select key. Enter the
backup IP Address in place of the Xs.
Refer to the table in section 17.10 462N Network Interface Card Examples of the
Appendix for complete information about when to use the Modem Setup String.
Note: If you are using Host Backup and UL AA is set to YES, the panel only sends
the S72 (Warning: Network Trouble) message after the rst series of host message
attempts fails. Refer to the Appendix for information about Host options.
