28 Challenger10 Installation and Quick Programming Manual
A communication path can be assigned a priority number in the range 1 to 10
(the highest priority being 1), or 0 for no priority assignment. Also, a
communication path can be designated as a backup to another communication
path.
A Challenger10 panel has default values programmed for the following
communications paths:
• Path 1. CID Dialler—For reporting to a remote monitoring company via a
telephone connection.
• Path 2. USB Installer— For USB (serial) connection to a computer running
management software such as Titan.
• Path 3. Management Software—For IP connection to a computer running
management software such as Titan.
• Path 10. Service—Enabled for management software connection via User
menu 7 Service.
Each of the 10 communications paths can be edited. The default paths are
provided as a shortcut to setting up the panel.
Each communications path must be assigned a format. Table 3 below lists the
relationship between formats and hardware.
Table 3: Communications formats by device type
Formats/Devices Dialler STU (RS-232) IP USB
CID Modem Yes No No No
Computer Polled Yes Yes Yes Yes
Computer Event No No Yes No
SecureSteam IP Receiver No No Yes No
Securitel STU No Yes No No
Printer No Yes No No
After you select a format, many of the subsequent options are pre-programmed
with values appropriate to that format.
Note: If you need to change the format of a path that has been previously
programmed (or one of the default paths), first set the format to “0-None” to clear
the previous format’s programming.
Refer to Figure 5 on page 11 for the locations of the panel’s onboard ports.
The following default values are typically sufficient to establish communications
with the management software computer:
• Security password 0000000000
• Security attempts 255
