9.1.n.5.m Select area 
 
Set account numbers for each area. 
9.1.n.6 Mode 
 
The following modes are available for CS. 
•  Primary CS: The primary central station must unconditionally receive all 
addressed events. 
•  Backup CS: The central station can be a backup CS for the previous CS in 
the central station list (see “9.1 Central station” on page 163). This means 
that the panel reports to this central station only if the primary CS reporting 
fails. 
For example, if CS 1 and CS 2 are primary CS, and CS 3 and CS 4 are backup 
CS, it means that CS 1 has no backup, CS 3 is a backup central station for CS 2, 
and CS 4 is a backup for central station 3. 
See “Alarm reporting principles” on page 206 for more information. 
9.1.n.7 Retry count 
 
The Retry count value is the number of retries to make a successful call to the 
central station. If the limit is reached, the FTC is generated. 
The counter is zeroed when a new event occurs in Global FTC condition. See 
“Failed to communicate (FTC)” on page 208 for more information. 
The value ranges from 1 to 14. The default value is 1. 
9.1.n.8 Protocol opt 
 
It is possible to customize the communication protocol parameters using the 
Protocol opt menu. 
9.1.n.8.1 XSIA
