56 EST3X Technical Reference Manual
MODCOM Compliance report
The 3-MODCOM module provides dialer communications between the EST3X
control panel and remote locations over telephone lines. During system
programming, the 3-MODCOM can be automatically configured as an NFPA 72
compliant modem or manually customized (non-compliant). The MODCOM
Compliance report lists the compliance level of 3-MODCOM modules in a given
panel.
To view the MODCOM Compliance report:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then click Reports.
2. Click MODCOM Compliance, and then enter the panel address.
3. Click Display. When finished, click or press the Acknowledge button to exit
the screen.

Click Print Locally, select the printer, and then click again to exit the screen.
Disabling and enabling devices
Devices include input and output circuits, detectors, and modules. Disabling a
device isolates it from the system. While the device is disabled, the EST3X
control panel logs the status change signals, but is prevented from processing
the signals until the device is enabled. For example, the control panel does not
activate an alarm event when you activate a disabled detector, but it will after the
detector is enabled.
The control panel keeps track of how many times you disable a device without
enabling it. You must enable a device the same number of times you disable it in
order to return the device to its original condition.
Device addresses are listed in Appendix B “Addresses” on page 257.
Notes
• You cannot disable a device configured as a common alarm output.
• Disabling all of the devices in a Zone group automatically disables the Zone
group. Enabling each device in a Zone group automatically enables the Zone
group.
• Disabling the device address for the dialer or a dialer account deletes all
event messages sent to that account before they are transmitted. The dialer
still transmits the account’s test-abnormal message and any message that
was in the dialer queue before the account was disabled.
