System Testing
Ensure you have informed your Alarm Receiving Centre
that you are ready to test your DualCom.
1. When the Control Panel is powered-up, the DualCom will initialise. This will
take about 1 minute. LED indications are listed in Appendix 1.
The Red PSTN and Yellow GSM path LEDs will flash alternately when:
The NVM is an incorrect type or is faulty or is fitted incorrectly.
The NVM has been incorrectly programmed.
The NVM is blank or un-programmed.
See Appendix 1. Contact CSL Technical Support for further advice.
Path problems are indicated by the Yellow GSM path LED, the Red PSTN
path LED & the Green LAN path LED. See Appendix 1, Table15, 18 & 21.
2. Use the A & B Buttons to enable the Wired LAN Card where this has been
fitted. See Appendix 1, Table 31.
Use the A & B Buttons to disable the Telephone Line where this has not
been fitted. See Appendix 1, Table 31.
Use the A & B Buttons to select a telephone pre-digit ‘9’ when the DualCom
is connected to an extention of a PABX. See Appendix 1, Table 31.
3. To test all communication paths to the ARC, use the A & B Buttons to start
the test calls. This will cause DualCom to send a test signal to the ARC on
all active paths, e.g. GPRS (radio), GSM (radio), Wired LAN (internet/IP)
and the PSTN telephone path. See Appendix 1, Table 30.
Note: To provide the highest possible availability on the radio path, a GPRS
call and a GSM call will be made. For a DualCom with radio and a PSTN
telephone path then 3 test calls should be received at the ARC every time
the test calls are started.
During communication the Radio & Wired path LEDs will flash and the dis-
play will show ‘C1, C2, C3’ and ‘A’ to indicate the progress of the call, see
Appendix 1, table 14,17 & 20. When a path has successfully communi-
cated with the ARC, its associated LED will go off. Contact the ARC to
ensure that all paths have successfully sent Test calls and that the ARC
operator can see them on their screen.
Ensure after the test that all Path LEDs are off; this will mean that the Test
calls on all paths are complete.
