4.0 Communications in Progress
4.1 Data Reception
During data reception, a message similar to this will be
displayed:

The DRL2A decodes all information received and stores
the information in its Event Buffer. When a valid signal is
received, the DRL2A sends a kissoff signal and transmits
the decoded alarm signal to the computer and then to the
printer through the CPM2.
Option [3C] may be enabled to allow the DRL2A to
compensate for noisy telephone lines (refer to “DRL2A Line
Card Options Programming” for information on programming
this Option).
The DRL2A will send each message it receives to the printer
for review by the system operator. Two messages may be
sent to the printer to indicate reception problems: the “Fault
Data” and “Fault Call”.
Fault Data Message
When this problem is encountered, the following information
is transmitted to the printer and the computer:
Printer: L0X???????10 Fault Data *
Computer: 0000 T 10
This output for account code "0000” indicates that data
has been received, but is not valid (for example, there are
unmatched rounds or the wrong parity). The following is an
example of faulty data received by the DRL2A, and the
printer output generated:

Fault Call
When this problem is encountered, the following information
is transmitted to the printer and the computer:
Printer: L0X???????40 Fault Call *
Computer: 0000 T 40
This output indicates that a call was received, but no data
was detected. The call may have been a wrong number, or
the calling control panel was unable to connect with the
receiver’s handshakes.
4.2 Stopping Data Reception Manually
To cancel communications between the DRL2A Line Card
and the calling control panel, press the [CANCEL] button.
Pressing the [CANCEL] button will hang up the line. This
feature may be used to hang up on a control panel that is
repeatedly sending alarms.
4.3 2-Way Audio Mode / SG-MLR2-DG Receiver
Connections
The DRL2A features two telephone line outputs. The
connections are labelled HNDSET1 for the Left Line Card,
HNDSET2 for the Right Line Card. These terminals allow a
touch-tone telephone to be connected to the DRL2A for
voice communication over the same telephone line after digital
data has been received. This feature is especially useful for
medical signalling installations and vocal alarm verifications.
IMPORTANT NOTE:IMPORTANT NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTE:IMPORTANT NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a regular touch-tone telephone is
used for 2-Way audio communication, the phone must be
left in the
off-hookoff-hook
off-hookoff-hook
off-hook
position. If the phone is not kept in the
off-hook position, the DRL2A will switch to an open line,
causing the line to be dropped (hang up).
If used with a PBX system, 2-Way audio communication
needs bridging resistors. Measure the handset phone
impedance and use a resistor of the same value. A typical
value is 220W.
If the impedance is incorrect, the handset terminal switchover
will behave as if switching to an on-hook phone, and the
line will be dropped.
Audio Communication Methods
Two methods are available for using the 2-Way Audio Mode:
Alarm type code Method
After the digital alarm data has been received and the
receiver has transmitted the last kissoff, the receiver
compares the alarm type codes in 3/1, 3/2, 4/1, 4/2, 4/3,
10-40 BD or DTMF touch-tone formats to the value
programmed in Option [4C]. This is done to determine if
the 2-Way Audio Mode should be activated. This feature is
designed for use with medical signalling systems in areas
where privacy regulations apply.
This method of activation is recommended as it can
distinguish between different types of alarms from the same
panel, and activate the 2-Way Audio Mode only when
needed. Note that Options [49] and [4C] must be
programmed to use this method (see Alarm Zone Method
below).
Reserved Account Code Range Method
The first digit of the Account Code will determine if the 2-
Way Audio Mode is to be activated.
This method is used by some alarm panels and medical
signalling systems. The central station manager can group
these panels into a range of account codes in order to
switch on the 2-Way Audio Mode. The transmission of an
Account Code from any of these panels will trigger the
DRL2A’s 2-Way Audio Mode. Note that Options [49], [4A]
or [4B] must be programmed to use this method.
A combination of all methods may also be used, please
refer to p.18.
Example
::
::
:
Reserve a block of account codes, such as 800-
9FF (for 3-digit formats) or 7000 - 8FFF ( for 4-digit formats)
for panels which can communicate in 2-Way Audio.
Note: The DRL2A can switch in 2-Way when it receives the
proper audio code with the following formats: SIA or FSK
200baud.
