Communication

Retry Seconds

This option displays for NET or 232 Communication Types.

Enter the number of seconds (between 6 and 15) the panel should wait before retrying to send a message to the receiver if an acknowledgment was not received. The panel retries as many times as possible for a period of one minute before sending a network trouble message. For example, if retry time is set to 15, the panel retries four times. The default Retry Time is 6 seconds.

Note: If TCP is enabled, the minimum Retry Time programmed is 6 seconds.

Substitution Code

This option displays when the Communication Type is NET, CELL or 232. The Panel Substitution Code increases the level of security by helping to ensure that the panel sending the message to the receiver has not been substituted by another panel. The default is NO.

Select YES to send a substitution code with every message.

Select SHARED (SHR) to use the same substitution code as operating in the previous path.

232 Communication Port

This option displays when Communication Type is 232.

This option sets the physical RS-232 port to the on-board connector or one of the DMP Model 461 Interface Adaptor Card slots labeled A, B, C, D, or E. Use slot A if using a 462N Network Interface Card with or without the 461 card.

Enter O to use the on-board connector. Set the XR500 Series Canadian panel J23 jumper to R and briefly reset the panel using the J16 jumper to activate RS-232 operation. Default is O (On-board).

232 Setup String

This option displays when the Communication Type is 232. Enter up to two lines of 16 characters to equal up to 32 characters for the destination address that may include an IP address. Example: If using a DMP iCOM, enter AT#UCXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX#PPPPP where X is the IP address and P is the port number.

893A

This option displays when the Communication Type is DD or CID.

The 893A option allows reports to be sent to the receiver on a second DD line using the 893A module. Default is No.

When using this option, Test Report messages (S07 Automatic Recall Test or

S88 Unrestored System Recall Test) are sent to the receiver at the frequency programmed in Test Frequency, alternating between the first and second phone line.

For example, a DD path with an 893A module set for daily test report frequency sends a test report through phone line 1 one day and phone line 2 the next day.

If 893A option is set to YES, enter up to a 3 digit prefix to be dialed before the second phone number. If no prefix is entered, the second phone number is dialed as originally entered.

Alarm Switch

This prompt displays for DD or CID Communication Types.

Enter the number of attempts to send an alarm message before switching to the next path. Range is from 1 to 10. All non-alarm messages are sent for 10 attempts on the dialer before a switch is initiated. If the path immediately following this channel is not a backup path, this option has no effect. Default is 1.

Duplicate Alarms

This prompt displays for BACKUP paths. If Yes is selected, the current backup path duplicates all alarms occurring on its group primary path. Default is No.
