Communication Devices
Some models in the M-Series range

are
fitted with an on-board modem, which can
be connected to a telephone line to signal
alarms and other events to an Alarm
Receiving Centre (ARC). Other advanced
communicators can be connected to your
alarm system for enhanced
communications security, such as the
ETHER800 series.
Remote Signalling
If your system has been fitted with a remote
signalling device, it is important that you
fully understand how to operate your alarm
system. Misuse may result in a police
response to a false alarm.
Downloading
If your alarm system has an on-board
modem

, a personal computer (PC)
running the Downloader software can
connect to your alarm system through a
telephone line. This enables the system to
be programmed and tested remotely.
This feature is known as downloading and is
normally performed with your authorisation
by either your alarm company or your ARC.
