Auto programming options 
Table 17 below describes the options to be set when auto programming the panel. 
Table 17: Auto programming options [1] 
Option Description 
Auto zoning  This option controls whether devices are automatically assigned to zones. The
number of devices assigned to a zone is based on the type of panel: 
•  VS1 panel: Four devices per zone 
•  VS2 panel: Sixteen devices per zone 
Yes: The system automatically finds all of the devices connected to the 
system and assigns them to a zone. 
No: The system automatically finds all of the devices connected to the system 
and does not assign them to a zone 
Enable NET  Configures the panel to communicate with a central monitoring station (CMS) 
via an Ethernet network. 
Yes: Enables Ethernet communication with the central monitoring station 
(CMS). 
No: Disables Ethernet communication with the CMS. 
Dialer  Configures the panel to communicate with the CMS via a dialer. The dialer is 
configured as a dual line so that all messages are sent to two separate 
receivers with different phone numbers and account codes. 
Note: Not all dialer programming options are acceptable for UL/ULC 
installations. See “UL 864 programming requirements” on page 31 for details.
Yes: Enables the dialer and configures it for dual-line communication with the 
CMS. All messages will be sent to two separate receivers that have different 
phone numbers and account codes. 
No: Dialer is not enabled. 
 
Event notification  Configures event reporting for zones, individual devices, or both. 
Zone: When a device is a member of a zone, only the zone information is sent 
to the LCD, LEDs, printer, and dialer. Note: Device level reporting configuration 
is not available. 
Zone/device: Zone information is sent to the LCD and LEDs. Device 
information is sent to the printer and dialer. Note: Zone/device reporting 
locations can be configured through custom programming. 
Device: Only device information is reported, no zone information
