Feature Select Programming ? Address 086, key [11] & [12]
Default: Reporting Disabled
When a specific event occurs in the system, the control panel will attempt to report the appropriate
event code (if programmed) to the Central Station. The four available Reporting Options described
in the table below, define where the event codes are reported. In order to establish communication
with the Central Station the control panel will first access a telephone line and wait a maximum of 8
seconds for a dial tone. If a dial tone is recognized or if after 8 seconds there is no dial tone, the
control panel will dial the appropriate Central Station Telephone Number as defined by the
Reporting Options listed in the table below. If communication is established, the control panel will
transmit the events in the event buffer to the Central Station. If communication fails during
transmission, the control panel will dial the next central station telephone number, as defined by the
reporting options listed below, and report only those events not reported during the interrupted
attempt. For information on Reporting Event Codes see section 6.6.

6.1.1 Reporting Disabled
The Control Panel will never transmit any event codes to the central station.
6.1.2 Regular Reporting
Using regular reporting the event codes are reported to the central station using either
telephone number 1 or 2. The control panel will begin by dialing central station telephone
number 1. If communication fails, the dialer will hang up, wait a predetermined period and dial
central station telephone number 2. This sequence will repeat 4 times, switching back and
forth between the 1st and 2nd number (see figure 26 on the following page) until
communication is established. After eight unsuccessful attempts, the redial sequence ends
and a "communicator report failure" will appear in the keypad's trouble display (key [7] "on").
When the next event occurs (reportable or non-reportable), the control panel will begin the
dialing sequence again.
6.1.3 Split Reporting
When the system is not in alarm
, the control panel will report all Event Codes to Central
Station Telephone 2. If communication fails, the dialer will hang-up, wait a predetermined
period and dial the number again. The control panel will dial the number eight times until
communication is established (see figure 26 on the following page). After eight unsuccessful
attempts, the redial sequence ends and a "communicator report failure" will appear in the
keypad's trouble display (key [7] "on"). When the next event occurs (reportable or non-
reportable), the control panel will begin the dialing sequence again.
When the system is in alarm
, the control panel will report all Event Codes to Central Station
Telephone 1. Any ongoing communication (upload/download or reporting to Telephone 2) will
stop immediately and the panel will dial Telephone 1. If communication fails, the dialer will
hang-up, wait a predetermined period and dial the number again. The control panel will dial
the number eight times until communication is established (see figure 26 below). After eight
unsuccessful attempts, the redial sequence ends and a "communicator report failure" will
