a. Panel sections [302], [303], and [305] may also be configured for backup or redundant
communications by using panel section(s) [383] or [351] - [376]. Refer to the
SCW9055/SCW9057 panel Installation Manual for more information.
b. If a valid telephone number is programmed, communication uses Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN). Entering a 4-digit hexadecimal value for a telephone
number changes the call routing to the Communicator, as determined by the number
programmed:
DCAAF: Internal (all receivers). Signals are routed depending on section [851]
[006] programming.
DCDDF: Cellular Receiver 1 (Primary).
DCEEF: Cellular Receiver 2 (Backup).
NOTE: Add a single ‘F’ as a suffix to the 4-digit hex number to populate the unused
remainder of the 32-character field.
5. Panel section [350]: If any of the phone numbers have been programmed as DCAA,
DCDD, or DCEE, panel section [350] must be set to [04] if SIA format or [03] if Contact
ID (CID) format is used by control panel.
6. Panel section [382]: Toggle Option [5], ‘GS/IP Module Enabled’, must be set to ON.
7. Panel section [401]: Toggle Option [1] must be set to ON in order to perform panel DLS
session through Cellular data channel.
8. Panel section [310], account code auto syncs with the communicator account code in
section [021]. The panel account code ([*][8][installer code] [310]) overwrites the
communicator account code section ([*][8][installer code] [851] [021]), if programmed
differently.
NOTE: Keep a record of the SIM card telephone number as it is required by users for SMS
Command and Control functions. (The number can be recorded in the Programming
Worksheets Section of this document, under Option [996].) Due to the nature of the
SIM card activation process with Cellular network carriers, it can take up to 24 hours
for SIM card activation to be complete.
COMMUNICATOR PLACEMENT TEST
1. Using the keypad enter the installer mode: [*][8] [installer code] [850].
2. View and record the number of bars showing on the SCW9055/SCW9057 LCD.
