Testing communication
Test communication between your system and the central monitoring station or a voice report destination at
least once per week to make sure you have the proper telephone or internet connection.
To perform a communication test, do the following:
1. Scroll to System tests.
2. Press Enter. The display shows Enter code.
3. Enter the master code.
4. Press Enter to accept the master code. The display shows Comm test.
5. Scroll to Comm Test.
6. Press Enter. The display shows Comm test is on.
7. After the communication test is successful, the display shows Comm test OK.
8. Press Status repeatedly to exit.
Note: If your system is not connected to a central monitoring station and you do not have a voice report destination
programmed, you won’t be able to perform the communication test.
If the communication test is successful, the system displays Comm test OK. If the test is unsuccessful, the
Status button will light and within ten minutes the panel will display Comm fail and a channel number that
indicates which communication channel has failed. Channels 1 to 4 are the phone channels and channels 5 to 7
are the three Internet channels. If a communication test fails, call your security system dealer.
