Menu 6 - Communicator 
The ZeroWire Communicator is a core component of the ZeroWire System used 
in conjunction with the Channels feature to report events to a monitoring 
company or third party. In this menu you can configure the settings for various 
methods of reporting. 
General Options 
First Disarm Last Arm 
If enabled, the ZeroWire will only send a closing report when the last area is 
armed. Note: the last area to arm must have open/close reports enabled. The 
ZeroWire will only send an opening report when the first area is disarmed. 
This feature is used in place of Individual area Open and close. If you enable 
open and close in the area you will get both individual open and close and 
System open close 
Report Once Per Zone 
If enabled, this will limit reporting to only once per zone each time you arm or 
disarm an area. This stops the control room or reporting destination to be flooded 
by multiple reports that the same zone is being activated (for example the 
intruder may be moving around and is being picked up by the zone on that zone.) 
Suppress Force Arm Bypass 
If enabled, the ZeroWire does not send bypass reports when a zone is forced 
armed.  
If not enabled, when a zone is forced armed and it remains in a state of creating 
an alarm, bypass reports are sent at the end of exit time. For example this would 
occur if it remains unsealed at the end of the exit time, or due to change of zone 
type caused by a schedule. 
If forced armed zones re-seal during the armed period, bypass restores are sent. 
Immediate Restore 
If enabled, the ZeroWire will immediately send all restores as the zone reports 
the event.  
If not enabled, the ZeroWire will send restoral events all at the same time when 
the area is disarmed. 
Auto Test 
Auto Test Intervals 
Set day of the week to send an automatic test report to the system channel group 
(Communicator\System Event Reporting\System Channels). You may also set 
auto-test to Daily.
