IPGSM-4GC Trouble Detection Information

IPGSM-4GC Commercial Fire Communicator – Installation and Setup Guide

IPGSM-4GC Trouble Detection Information

Telco 1 is used for the Fire Panel to output contact ID messages to the IPGSM-4GC, and Telco 2 is used by the IPGSM- 4GC to report faults to the Fire Panel. If Telco 1 is not operational, the Fire Panel will use Telco 2 to report events if there are no faults in the Communicator.

Fault Condition	Indication to Fire Panel

PowerBoost1 fault	Telco 2 is cut.

Communicator fault
∙ Failure of the communications path when	Telco 2 is cut.
IP only or GSM only is programmed as a
communications path.
∙ Failure of both communications paths	Telco 1 and 2 are cut.
when IP&GSM is programmed as a
communications path.
Dialer Capture Module buffer is full.	Hang up. (Panel will retry, giving the buffer a chance
	to empty.)
