Captain-i Installation Guide 23
5.2 Communication Parameters
5.2.1 Communication with the monitoring station
CAPTAIN-i enables event reporting to the Central Monitoring Station (CMS) by
telephone, GSM, and/or radio.
A unique code can be programmed for each event in accordance with Monitoring Station
and/or customer requirements, such as a response code to tampering with the box or to
define zone number 5 as the zone connected to a Distress button. In the latter case, it
is possible to program the Monitoring Station reporting code, telephone and/or radio, to
report a distress event instead of a regular alarm by programming the appropriate code.
Note: Each of the reports mentioned above depends upon the corresponding option in
the technician menu, i.e. for each type of event it is possible to include or exclude
reporting to the Monitoring Station.
For example, it is possible to cancel the reporting of arming/disarming using the phone
communicator leaving radio reporting unchanged.
If a fault event is reported to the Monitoring Station, the restoration of serviceability
will also be reported as an event. For example, in the case of a low-battery fault, after
the battery is re-charged “Battery restore” will be reported to the Monitoring Station.
Each system/partition can be programmed with an account ID number of 1 to 9999 as
well as the format types for telephone reporting and long-range radio reporting.
5.2.2 Telephone communication with the CMS
Four telephone numbers to the Monitoring Station can be programmed, and the order of
connection attempts to the Monitoring Station will be in the same order as programmed.
Upon an unsuccessful connection attempt the system will try the next telephone number
and so on until connection is established. When connection is established, the system
will transmit to the Monitoring Station all events that accumulated until that time.
5.2.3 GSM communication with the CMS
The GSM communicate with the CMS in the same manner the telephone communicator
does with the following optional differences:
When programmed, the GSM transmitter will use the account ID of the radio
channel
When programmed, the GSM transmitter will add the ‘area code for GSM’
number as programmed in the GSM programming screen
5.2.4 Radio communication with the CMS
The CAPTAIN-i enables radio (wireless) communication to the Monitoring Station. The
communication configuration is defined at installation.
The reporting options and their control are similar to those for telephone communication
with the Monitoring Station (see the preceding section). A separate account number to
the radio Monitoring Station may be set up.
