Section 12: Communications Programming
All options concerning communications can be programmed in the following sections, including telephone numbers, reporting codes, account
numbers, communicator toggle options and miscellaneous communicator options.
By default, the Comm Enabled toggle option is on to enable communications. To disable communications, enter reference number [000401].
’Comm Enabled’ will appear on the display. Press [*] to toggle the option to [N]o. If disabled, no reporting codes will be transmitted to the central
station. Note that downloading can still be accomplished with the communicator disabled.
12.1 Telephone Numbers
Ref #: [000400XX00] where XX = telephone number 00-02
The control panel can call up to three different telephone numbers
when reporting any event to a central station. The first telephone
number is the control panel’s primary number for communicating
with the central station. The second and third numbers can be used
as backup numbers in case the first or second numbers fail to com
-
municate; the numbers can also be used to communicate to a
pager.
NOTE: A dial tone search must be included in order for a telephone
number to be backed up by the LINKS1000.
To program each telephone number, enter reference number
[000400XX] (where XX = [00], [01] or [02] for each of the three
telephone numbers).
Enter the communicator telephone number the way you would
dial it on a telephone. The maximum number of digits (including
dial tone searches and pauses) is 31.
Special characters can be added to the telephone number in order
to perform designated functions. Press the [*] key to enter the tele
-
phone entry options menu. The five options are as follows:
[0] Save: This can be selected for the telephone number to be
stored into the panel’s memory, or simply press [#] when fin
-
ished entering the telephone number.
[1] Dial tone search: This character will force the panel to
search for a dial tone at that point in the telephone number. A
’D’ on the display represents a dial tone search. A dial tone
search is already programmed as the first digit for each tele
-
phone number.
[2] Pause 2 Seconds: This will add a 2-second pause to the dial-
ing sequence, represented by the letter ’A’ on the display.
[3] Pause 4 Seconds: This will add a 4-second pause to the dial-
ing sequence, represented by the letter ’E’ on the display.
[4] DTMF [*]: This will add an asterisk to the telephone number,
represented by a ’B’ on the display. The dialer will output the
same frequencies as the touch-tone [*] key. This character is
frequently required to disable call waiting.
[5] DTMF [#]: This will add a ’#’ to the telephone number, rep-
resented by the letter ’C’ on the display. The dialer will output
the same frequencies as the touch-tone [#] key. In some
instances, this character is used to disable call waiting.
12.2 Account Numbers
When a reporting code is sent to the central station, a 4 or 6 digit
account code is also sent to identify the system or partition to the
central station. Each partition has its own account code. The sys
-
tem account code is required for reporting codes that do not per-
tain to a particular partition, such as module tampers, global
keypad alarms or maintenance reporting codes.
The system uses 4 or 6 digit account codes when the SIA FSK
communication format is used. When any other communication
format is used, the system only uses the last 4 digits of the account
code.
System Account Code
Ref #: [00040003]
Enter 4 or 6 digits and record them in your Programming Work-
sheets for future reference. The default system account code is
[FFFF] or [FFFFFF].
Partition Account Codes
Ref #: [0100XX00] where XX = partition number
The partition account code is programmed in the Partition pro-
gramming section. Enter 4 or 6 digits and record them in your
Programming Worksheets for future reference. The default for
each partition account code is [FFFF] or [FFFFFF].
12.3 Dialing Parameters
DTMF Attempts
Ref #: [00040200]
This section is used to program the number of attempts using
DTMF dialing before switching to pulse dialing. Enter three digits
from 000 to 255 attempts. If the DTMF Dialing option is disabled,
the panel will always pulse or rotary dial.
NOTE: For UL/ULC Listed installations, 5 attempts is required.
12.4 Communicator Toggle Options
Ref #: [000401]
The following options determine how the panel will communicate.
Use the [*] key to toggle each option on or off.
• Communications Enabled: If disabled, no reporting codes will
be transmitted to the central station. Note that downloading can
still be accomplished with the communicator disabled (default =
Yes).
• DTMF Dialing: If enabled, the dialer will use DTMF dialing.
The panel can switch to pulse dialing after the programmed
number of DTMF dialing attempts have failed. If disabled, the
panel will use pulse dialing (default=Yes).
• Restore on BTO: If enabled, the panel will send the restoral
reporting code when both the zone is restored and the bell has
timed out. Note that if the zone is not restored, the restoral will
be sent when the partition is disarmed. If disabled, the panel will
send the restoral reporting code when the zone is restored
(default=Yes).
NOTE: DO NOT enable this feature if the following ’Restore on Dis-
arm’ option is enabled.
• Restore on Disarm: If enabled, the panel will send the resto-
ral reporting code when the partition has been disarmed. The
panel will not send another alarm transmission for the zone
until the partition is disarmed. If disabled, the panel will send
the restoral immediately when the zone is restored
(default=No).
NOTE: DO NOT enable this feature if the previous ’Restore on Bell
Time Out’ option is enabled.
NOTE: If Bell Shutdown is to be used, DO NOT enable this option.
• Shut Down 24HRS: If enabled, the swinger shutdown count-
ers will be reset every day at midnight, or when the partition
is armed. These counters keep track of how many alarms have
occurred on each zone, shutting them down if they reach their
limit. If disabled, the swinger shutdown counters will only be
reset when the partition is armed (default=No).
NOTE: This option should be enabled when using global zones.
• PC ID: If enabled, the panel will identify all manually
bypassed zones when the partition is armed. The partial closing
reporting code must be programmed for this feature to work.
• If disabled, the panel will only send a partial closing reporting
code to tell the central station that zones were bypassed when
the partition was armed (default=No).
• PC on Auto Arm: If enabled, the panel will send the partial
closing reporting code to the central station when a zone is
* Not UL Listed. Do not use in conjunction with UL Listed systems
