IP dialer communication with a CMS
The control panel can be configured to communicate system events to a central monitoring station using an
Ethernet connection as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, a plain old telephone service (POTS) dialer such
as the VM-DACT.
Refer to the VM-CU Help for instructions on configuring the IP receiver service and receiver accounts.
Email and text messaging
The control panel can be configured to communicate system events to email or text addresses through SMTP
servers. Email messages allow communication of multiple or single system events; text messages allow single
system events.
For text messaging, a text message is routed to the recipient's wireless service provider phone number email
address through a configured SMTP server. The wireless service provider then transmits the message to the
recipient’s text account. Check with the wireless provider for their carrier gateway address and any additional
carrier requirements.
Refer to the VM-CU Help for instructions on configuring the email service and email accounts.
