11.5 Reporting Options Tab

The Reporting Options tab displays fi ll-in fi elds for setting information regarding the Consoles’ general communicator reporting options and includes a 4 x 2 section for assigning custom 4 x 2 reporting codes if desired.

Report AC Fail

The default REPORT AC FAIL setting enables AC power failure and restore reports with a random delay of up to one hour. Alternately, the Console can be set to report AC power status without the random delay, or be disabled.

Three options are available for AC failure reporting.

The DISABLE setting will inhibit AC failure reporting.

The ENABLE setting will report when the Console has been without AC power for fi ve minutes. A restore report will be sent fi ve minutes after AC power is restored.

The ENABLE (RANDOM DELAY UP TO 1 HOUR) settings functions the same as the ENABLE setting, except that any reports will occur at a random time up to one hour from the event. This option can reduce collisions of Central Station traffi c caused by a wide-spread power outage.

When the AC power status changes, after the fi ve minute wait period, the Console will announce:

0“Console power failure”

— OR —

0“Console power restored”

Report Supervisory Events

The default is to report supervisory events to the Central Station. The events will be reported to the primary/secondary telephone number unless split reporting is enabled, which would cause the reports to go to the supervisory telephone number.

Un-check the REPORT SUPERVISORY EVENTS option box to disable reporting supervisory events.

Mode Switch Reporting

The Console can report to the Central Station when the Console is switched between Home Mode and Away Mode.

The default MODE SWITCH REPORTING setting does not report mode changes to the Central Station. To report mode changes, check this option box.

Answer Phone

The default enables ring detection on the telephone line connected to the Console.This setting must be on to support the remote RA4200 telephone programming, remote limited touch-tone telephone programming, and Speakerphone Mode.

If these features are not required or used, ring detection can be disabled by un-checking the ANSWER PHONE check box.
