Zone: When a device is a member of a zone, only the zone information is
reported or transmitted. Device information is not reported or transmitted. This
setting uses zone event notification settings for reporting events. Make sure the
zone event notification settings are correct. See “Loop event programming” on
page 120.
Event: Only the event type (alarm, supervisory, trouble, etc.) is reported or
transmitted, no device or zone information. This setting uses the CMS event
notification settings for reporting events. Make sure the event notification
settings are correct. See “Central monitoring station device programming” on
page 106.
Tone wait seconds
Set tone wait to Off or 1 to 30 seconds. Specifies how long the dialer waits to
get

Set call disconnect to Off or 1 to 45 seconds. Specifies the length of time the
dialer seizes the line (to disconnect parallel devices) before attempting to dial
out.

Set test frequency to 0 to 240 hours. Specifies how often the dialer performs a

Callback
Select Enabled or Disabled to enable or disable callback security. With callback
security enabled, the dialer will answer an incoming call, and then hang up and

configuration utility. Use this feature to increase security and to limit your
connect to only the PC at the preprogrammed number.
