3.6.4 Configuring Events Reporting to Monitoring Stations
The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 control panel is designed to report alarm, alerts, troubles and other events
and messages to two Central Monitoring Stations C.S.1 and C.S.2 via PSTN telephone line, Cellular i.e. GSM
voice (analog), GPRS (IP) & SMS or Broadband IP communications channels. In this section you configure and
define all parameters and features required for the reporting of the event messages to Monitoring Stations such as:
• The events reported to each of the two Monitoring Stations C.S.1 and C.S.2 and corresponding backups.
• The communication means (channel) used for the reporting and the backup means (channel) in case of
failure.
• The customer's (subscriber) account number(s) to be reported to each monitoring station.
• The telephone numbers, IP addresses and SMS numbers and reporting formats of the corresponding alarm
receivers at the two Monitoring Stations C.S.1 and C.S.2 and the number of reporting retry attempts in case
of failure to report.
• The communication Auto Tests and communication Fail reports.
• The reporting of certain system function events such as "Confirmed Alarm", "Recent Close", Zone Restore"
and "System Not-Used".
To configure an option enter the menu, select the option you wish to configure (see
guidance above and in section 3.6.1), then refer to the table below which provides you with detailed
explanations and configuration instructions for each option.

Here you determine which events (i.e. Alarms (alrm
alrmalrm
alrm); Open/close (o/c
o/co/c

) have
the lowest priority.
If the system is equipped also with Cellular communicators, you must define which of
the communicating channels (i.e. Cellular or PSTN) the system will use as the main
channel (i.e. 1
st
priority) for reporting event messages to Monitoring Stations, and if the
main channel fails, which channels will be used in the 2
nd
and 3
rd
reporting priorities.
Enter the "1
st
RPRT CHAN"; option and define which of the communication channels
the system will use as the main reporting channel. If you wish to define also backup
reporting channels, enter the "2nd RPRT CHAN" and "3rd RPRT CHAN" options and
define them as well.
