Installing the kit version
The kit version is composed of a circuit board for mounting inside a burglar alarm panel, preferably in a metal housing, and an antenna for connecting to the board with a coaxial cable. During normal operation, the board, antenna, and cable may generate electromagnetic fields and may disturb nearby electronic equipment which is not immune to such fields. Position the board as far away as possible from electronic equipment, and mount the antenna on the housing’s outer surface or far away from it, using the appropriate bracket. Route a minimum amount of coaxial cable into the metal housing; gather any excess outside the housing.
To install the kit version, proceed as described below and in figure 3.
1. Open the panel. 2. Find a place inside the panel to mount the board, including its wiring. 3. Mount the four provided adhesive plastic mounts into holes 30 of the communicator, as shown in figure 3. 4. Secure the communicator inside the panel. 5. Optional: If the panel has a plastic housing, or if you want to place the antenna within 2 metres of the panel for better cellular
signal strength, mount bracket 27 in the desired position and route the antenna cable through hole 26. 6. Position antenna 29 on the panel’s metal housing or on bracket 27, so that the magnetic base adheres to the surface. 7. Route the antenna cable through an opening in the housing. 8. Connect the antenna cable to communicator connector 43. 9. Fit the TMP jumper to disable tamper detection. 10. Continue with the installation as described in paragraph “Power and testing” on page 20. 11. Close the panel.

Power and testing
1. Fit the SIM card into SIM holder 14 as shown by the arrows, with its contacts facing downwards.
The operation related to the communicator’s Ethernet channel works properly without inserting SIM card also.
For the communicator to work properly, you must use a 32 kB or better SIM card. You must disable the SIM card’s PIN before fitting it into the communicator. Disable call transfer on the SIM card.

2. Set the jumpers as required by your application (see “Description of jumpers” on page 11). 3. Make the connections to terminal block 19 as described in paragraph “Connection example” on page 23. 4. For the dual-path version only, connect the Ethernet cable to the connector 31, if required.

5. Power up the communicator: all LEDs will light up for 1 second, then LEDs

and

will stay on for a few seconds,

after which LED

will flash 4 times to indicate that the User, Installer and Level 4 Installer PINs are the factory default

settings.

6. Use the Console to change the PINs, as described in chapter “PC PROGRAMMING” on page 42, and enable the

communicator.

7. Check the signal strength: make sure that at least LED turns on; if the LED

is on, the signal strength is excellent.

If LEDs and

are off, the signal is NOT strong enough: reposition the communicator or try installing the optional antenna

ANTLTE-02 (versions with housing only) or ANTLTE-10, as described in the respective paragraphs.

The communicator complies with the EN 50136-2 standard and, for this reason, its access codes have to be set at the first

power up, by means of the Console, in this way the communicator functionality will be enabled.

If you do not need the compliance with the EN 50136-2 and like to start working without the Console, please proceed as follows.
1. Make sure that the communicator settings are at default (read “Restore Factory Settings” on page 45 to restore the default settings).
2. Insert the PST jumper. 3. Connect the communicator to the power.

4. Wait until the

and

LEDs switch off, then remove the PST jumper.

Leave the PST jumper inserted if you want to use the pass-through functionality.

Installing the antenna ANTLTE-02
The ANTLTE-02 has greater gain than the communicator’s integrated antenna in the version with housing, and can be mounted indoors within 2 meters of the communicator, to improve cellular reception, as described below and shown in figure 5.
Position the antenna to optimise cellular reception.

1. Break the tab closing hole 37. 2. Remove the electronic board: compress hooks 34 to release the board from the base. 3. Remove nut 24 and washer 38 from adapter cable 23. 4. Fit adapter cable connector 39 into hole 37, the secure it with nut 24: washer 38 is not required. 5. Connect adapter cable connector 40 to connector 43.

Refer to the installation instructions included with the ANTLTE-10 antenna.
Tamper detection
The version with housing of the communicator is equipped with a device which detects when the cover is opened and the communicator is removed from the wall (tampering).

GS4015/GS4005/3G4005/TL405LE

21

firealarmresources.com

Tampering is reported by the Tamper event, to which actions can be associated (activate outputs, send voice, SMS or digital message) with the Console: the factory setting is that terminal T4 on GS4005/3G4005/TL405LE or terminal T6 on GS4015 is floating (it is normally connected to earth) in the event of tamper. Once you have programmed the function, close the cover and power up the communicator. After initialisation, open the cover and check that the communicator actually executes the actions programmed for the tamper detection.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This communicator can communicate with central stations, and send both SMS and voice messages, via the cellular network; it can also simulate a PSTN line in case of malfunction (phone line failure) or substitute of one completely in areas with cellular coverage in which PSTN calls are not available.
SIA and CID messages may NOT be understood by the PSTN receivers due to distortion on the cellular network. It is
recommended to forward SIA and CID messages to IP receivers instead, when the PSTN line fails, as indicated in “Phonebook” on page 46: see the option IP Receiver on GSM Path.
Due to the nature of the cellular network, the communicator may be used solely for its intended purpose and NOT as a modem
for sending faxes or data or for remote assistance services.
It can report alarms over the cellular network, for reliable, fast communications with central stations equipped with compatible SurGard System receiver. The performance of the communicator depends largely on the coverage, and it should not be installed without having first checked the position of the antenna for best reception (the LED at least must be on). The dual path versions have an Ethernet interface that can be used as primary or backup communication channel with the SurGard receivers. The Ethernet interface also enable an alternate and faster way of communication with panels and the console software. The communicator has terminals (T) which can be programmed as inputs or outputs (see “Inputs/Outputs” on page 55).

Access levels
This paragraph describes how to access the communicators functions, according to EN50136 standard.
If the EN50136 option is enabled (factory default; see “Options” on page 49), the communicator can handle all four levels of user access to its functions. The access levels are as follows. Level 1: access to function display, indications (LEDs used to report faults, cellular status, and PSTN status) and messages
(SMS, voice, etc.) available to all users without PIN; this level does not allow any programming. Level 2 (normal user): access to communicator status information (e.g. use of the Console to display the status page,
programming options and events buffer). This level requires a PIN. Factory setting: 000000. Level 3 (installer): access to configuration functions including addition, removal and replacement of components and other
operations which directly or indirectly affect the communicator’s functions (e.g. upload/download programming options with the console, display Status page and events buffer). This level requires a PIN. Factory setting: 111111.
If the EN50136 option is enabled, the installer must be authorised by the normal user.
Level 4 (level 4 installer): access to firmware updates and Status page display. This level requires a PIN. Factory setting: 222222.
The level 4 installer must be authorised by the installer.
To ensure compliance with EN 50136-2: 2013, the PINs for access to levels 2, 3 and 4 are 6 digit numbers.

USB connector functions
The communicator has a USB A connector to enable it to work as a device, to connect it to a PC, or as host, to handle a USB key (see “Description of jumpers” on page 11).
To connect the communicator to a PC, you need a USB cable with A connectors at each end (hub cable).
The USB interface has the following characteristics.
Conformity: USB 2.0. Full speed data: 12 Mbit/s. Max. length of cable: 5 m. Max. current in host mode: 500 mA. Vout in Host mode: 5 V nominal. USB key file system: FAT32.
USB device
The USB interface will be an alternative to communications with the RS232 port (PC-Link). It will have the same functions as the RS232 and will be used with the Console to:
update the firmware (level 4 installer only); upload/download communicator options and audio files (installer only; the normal user can only upload); upload the communicator’s events buffer (installer and normal user only); check the communicator’s status in real time (all users).
USB Host
Allows you to use a USB key for the following operations:
firmware updates; load custom default; upload/download settings and audio files; export the events buffer; export the communicator’s debug buffer (technical service only).
These functions are available only if the EN50136 option is disabled.

Power Monitor
The device can be powered in the following ways:
1. by the burglar alarm panel, equipped with a backup battery, in which case the communicator must operate at voltages in the range 10.7 to 27.6 V.
2. by an external 12 V power supply, in which case the power supply must recharge the communicator’s optional backup battery (8 hours of operation following primary power outage).
In both cases, the battery ensures that the communicator is still operational in case of power failure.
The power and battery voltages are supervised so that the communicator can report the following events:
Power fault/restore event. Power fault/restore message (voice / SMS / message to the IP receivers).
Since the device can operate with or without an external backup battery (without input current limitation), the following two scenarios correspond to a power failure.
Power voltage check
The power voltage will be supervised to detect problems. The voltage is checked every 100 ms. The following conditions apply to the device without external backup battery:
Power problem event: when the voltage drops below 10 V (the PSTN interface is turned off). Power problem restore: when the voltage rises above 12 V. Start Energy Save mode: when the voltage drops below 9 V (the USB interface and the radio module are turned off). Quit Energy Save mode: when the voltage rises above 10.7 V.
When the communicator is in Energy Save mode, the current draw does not exceed 175 mA. The maximum current
consumption, in Energy Save mode with battery connected and no action in progress is around 70 mA and is less than 150 mA during voice calls.
Battery voltage check
The battery voltage will be supervised to check for any faults and that the battery itself is present. The voltage is checked every 100 ms. The value is processed (mean of values) to eliminate peaks. The following conditions apply to the device with external backup battery:
Battery problem event: when the battery voltage drops below 3.4 V. Battery problem restore: when the battery voltage rises above 3.7 V. Start Energy Save mode: when the battery voltage drops below 3.2 V. Quit Energy Save mode: when the battery voltage rises above 3.4 V. Battery disconnected event: when the battery voltage drops below 2.0 V. Battery disconnected restore: when the battery voltage rises above 2.0 V. Battery overload event: when the battery voltage rises above 4.4 V. Battery overcharge restore: when the battery voltage drops below 4.3 V.
When the communicator is powered ONLY by the battery, you can NOT use the USB port.

Table 11 ­ Description of events handled by communicator.
a. A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyber-attack where the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet.

The installer can choose which protocol to use: Contact ID or SIA.
The selected protocol is also applied to events generated by the panel and sent to the phone numbers with the IP Receiver
on GSM Path option enabled (see table on page 46).

To each event associated with the communicator’s inputs, a specific Customer code can be assigned, while status events can be assigned a unique user code.
The communicator handles a queue of 32 internal events. When the queue is full, further events are ignored.
The priority between internal and external events can be programmed by the installer (see “Priorities” on page 50).
For internal events, the times and manners in which they are sent are handled by the communicators: after a message is sent, the unit waits for at most 1.25 seconds for the receiver to acknowledge reception (ACK). The unit will try to send a message up to 4 times.

Operating Principles

The communicator can choose its primary channel (the factory setting is PSTN). It supplies the line and ringtone voltage for incoming calls and decodes dial tones (DTMF). The simulated PSTN line provides a backup for the burglar alarm panel or other terminal should the main PSTN line fail. Calls CANNOT be switched between PSTN and cellular, or vice-versa, while they are in progress. Operating priority (as programmed) determines how the communicator handles SMS and voice messages, and calls with devices connected to terminals LI (for example, a burglar alarm panel).
The communicator is NOT able to decode pulse dialing.
To prevent undesired use of the simulated line via cellular, the device generates a double beep during voice calls. It does so after 5 minutes and every 30 seconds thereafter.
PSTN channel
If the voltage on the PSTN terminals (LE) falls below 2.5 Vdc (± 20%) for 10 to 3600 seconds (programmable value), the devices connected to terminals LI are switched to the cellular network. When PSTN service is restored, the communicator switches back to the PSTN line, again after a programmable delay.
It is possible to force communications to the cellular data network, even when PSTN is present, by entering a programmable
prefix (factory setting “9999”) ahead of the phone number dialled by the panel (for further details, see Dialing Prefix in “PSTN/PTM” on page 71). If the device is on the simulated PSTN line for any reason, the prefix is deleted from the number (if present).

The communicator makes independent calls only on the cellular channel, and not on the PSTN line. All communications made
on the external PSTN line (terminals LE) come from the line connected to terminals LI, and are not modified. It follows that the PSTN line connected to LE is not considered a communications channel pursuant to EN 50136.
Cellular channel
This provides the devices connected to the LI terminals with a simulated PSTN line if cellular reception is detected. If there is no cellular coverage, it switches to PSTN.
Ethernet channel
If the communicator’s Ethernet interface is connected to a LAN or WAN you can:
decode the digital messages, coming from the control panel connected to the communicator, and forward them to an IP receiver, over Internet;
send the communicator’s digital messages to an IP receiver, over Internet; downloading and uploading the communicator’s options locally via LAN and remotely via WAN.

Contact ID and SIA transmission sequence on cellular and Ethernet channel
If the PSTN is missing, or the PTM (Panel Transmission Monitoring) is enabled (see “PSTN/PTM” on page 71), the communicator may forward the Contact ID and SIA messages of the control panel connected to the LI terminals of the communicator, to the PSTN receivers, over the cellular channel, or to IP receiver, over the cellular or Ethernet channel, if CID/SIA Event Conversion is enabled (see “Phonebook” on page 46).
1. When an event occurs, the control panel engages the phone line: the communicator simulates the dial tone. 2. The control panel dials the number of the PSTN receiver: make sure that the control panel inserts at least a 1 second pause
or checks for the dial tone before dialling the number. 3. The communicator sends the handshake tone required for Contact ID or SIA. 4. The control panel transmits the message after it has received the handshake. 5. The communicator forwards the message over the cellular channel to the PSTN receivers or, if enabled, it decodes and
transforms the message into a data packet and sends it to the IP receivers via the cellular or Ethernet channel. 6. The receiver recognises the message and sends an acknowledgement (kiss-off) to the communicator, which forwards the
kiss-off signal to the control panel. 7. After the communicator has generated the kiss-off signal, if no other messages are to be sent, the control panel hangs up,
otherwise sends the next event.
SMS message transmission
The communicator may send SMS messages (max. length 70 characters) to previously programmed numbers (up to 8 of the numbers in the communicator’s phonebook) when the events listed in table 11 on page 28 occur and end.
A SMS is sent when one of the event listed in table 11 on page 28 occurs, for which an SMS has been programmed and at
least one number has been assigned.
Voice message transmission
The communicator may send up to 3 pre-recorded voice messages to previously programmed numbers (up to 8 of the numbers in the communicator’s phonebook) when the events listed in table 11 on page 28 occur and end. Up to 150 voice messages can be recorded, of up to 6 seconds each.
A voice call is made when an event occurs for which a voice message has been programmed and which has at least one phone number. In this case, the communicator executes the procedure indicated below.
1. The communicator dials the number and makes the call via the PSTN channel, or via the cellular channel if the PSTN line is missing.
2. The communicator checks that the number is not engaged and that there are no problems with the cellular network, if the PSTN line is missing, before proceeding, otherwise it terminates the call and tries step 1 again, for the programmed number of times (Repeat Call in par. “Communicator Options” on page 62), after which it concludes the call cycle. If the event has been programmed to call multiple numbers, they are called in sequence. This prevents the system calling an occupied number several times in a few seconds.
3. The communicator waits up to 60 seconds for the called number to answer. If the number answers, it goes to step 4, otherwise it hangs up and tries step 1 again, for the programmed number of times (Repeat Call in par. “Communicator Options” on page 62), after which it concludes the call cycle.
4. The communicator plays the message for the event: the call is terminated only after the message has been received, or the
called user presses on his phone, if the Call Confirmation option is enabled (see “Communicator Options” on
page 62).
If multiple events requiring different messages to be sent to the same number have occurred, the messages are played in sequence, each for the programmed number of Repetitions (see “Communicator Options” on page 62), during a single call, to avoid calling the same number multiple times.
If, at the end of the call cycle, the event which activated the communicator is still active, the above procedure is not repeated. The event which tripped the call cycle must first restore before a new cycle of calls is tripped.

Table 12 ­ Action priorities – factory settings.

Notes
If the communicator is performing an action and another action of higher priority presents, the communicator interrupts the
lower priority action and queues it. After the higher priority action has been completed, the communicator tries again to perform the interrupted (queued) action. If several actions of the same priority occur together, they are queued and performed in sequence. If communicator’s voice messages have lower priority than panel messages, when a panel message presents while the
communicator is transmitting a voice message, the communicator hangs up and the panel takes over the line (pick up
detected); after the panel’s message has been completed (hang up detected) the communicator tries again to transmit the
interrupted (queued) message. If the communicator’s voice messages have higher priority and a panel event occurs while a communicator voice message is
being sent, the communicator must provide the engaged signal to the panel and continue transmitting its messages. Communicator SMS have lower priority than control panel actions and the communicator’s voice messages, but an SMS
cannot be interrupted while it is being sent. The lowest priority is given to data packet transmission for supervision of communications with the IP receivers.

Panel Transmission Monitoring (PTM)
Constantly controlling communications with the panel (PTM function) enables the communicator to send Contact ID or SIA messages via cellular or Ethernet channel if communications between the panel and the central station via the PSTN line fail. If programmed (on the Console, PSTN/PTM page), this function is only enabled when the PSTN line is connected to terminals LE and is present.
Pulse dialing detection is not supported.
When the PTM function activates, the PSTN fault event occurs.
The communicator checks the LE line and, once it has detected that the line is occupied by the panel, executes the following procedure: it decodes the dialled number (DTMF); if the decoded number has PTM enabled, the communicator check for the Kiss-Off signal (it acknowledges the reception of
the event sent from the panel to the central station).
The panel must make the call immediately: the time between picking up and making the call, programmed on the panel, must be at least 2 seconds.
If the PTM All Numbers option is enabled (see “PSTN/PTM” on page 71) the communicator will check for the kiss-off for all calls.

Activating outputs
The communicator has terminals (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6) which can be programmed as inputs or outputs. The outputs can be activated automatically, when certain programmed events occur (see “Inputs/Outputs” on page 55), or remotely, by sending SMS message to the communicator, by caller recognition from preprogrammed numbers (see “Phonebook” on page 46), or by the a mobile device running the ConnectAlarm app (see “App Type Output” on page 57).
Remote output activation/deactivation
The cellular or Ethernet connection must be present for the outputs to be remotely activated or deactivated.
To enable this function, the output must be configured as a Reserved Output. When terminals T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 are programmed as outputs, they may be controlled remotely via SMS and Caller ID. The SMS is never saved to the device, but is deleted as soon as the command has been executed. The number used to activate the outputs using Caller ID must NOT be concealed (it must NOT be a private number). To avoid calls being forwarded to devices connected to terminals LI, we recommend the communicator is programmed with the Black List Enabled enabled (Options > Dial Options) and White list disabled (Phonebook) for the numbers you wish to use for this function, calls will be rejected in this way.
The Open-Collector outputs can be programmed as Bistable or Monostable: Bistable outputs are activated/deactivated with two separate commands; Monostable outputs stay active for the programmed Monostable Time On, after which they return to standby, or until
they are deactivated by SMS.
Each output can be programmed to return a confirm signal: a previously programmed SMS, if the output was activated/deactivated via SMS; a confirm ringtone, if Caller ID was used.
If Caller ID is used, the call hangs up automatically 12 seconds after the output is activated.
For further details on the Control String and User Code options used in the following paragraphs, refer to paragraphs “Inputs/Outputs” on page 55 and “Options” on page 49.
Bistable outputs
Open Collector outputs configured to be bistable may be activated in two ways:
1. By sending an SMS consisting of the pound (#), the User Code, the Control String (Control String can not have initial blank spaces) and the characters =ON, as follows: #User CodeControl String=ON* (example:

123456HOMELIGHT=ON)

2. Using Caller ID: in this case, the output is activated without charge, since once the device has recognised the caller, it activates the output without accepting the call.
An OC output configured as bistable can ONLY be deactivated by an SMS composed of the pound (#), the User Code, the
Control String and the characters =OFF* using the following syntax:

User CodeControl String=OFF (example: #123456HOMELIGHT=OFF)

The 6 digit user code is factory set to 000000; to replace it, see “Changing the user code” on page 37.
Monostable outputs
OC outputs configured as monostable can be activated in 2 ways: by SMS and using Caller ID.

GS4015/GS4005/3G4005/TL405LE

SMS
Send an SMS composed of the pound (#), the User Code, the Control String (Control String can not have initial blank spaces) and by the characters =ON, =ONTonU or =OFF using the following syntax:

User CodeControl String=ON

User CodeControl String=ONTonU*

User CodeControl String=OFF

The =ONTonU parameter sets the ON time from 1 to 86400 seconds, with a resolution of 1 second. The ON Time can be set by means of the Communicator’s Console software. Ton is the required value and U is the unit in hours (H), minutes (M) and seconds (S), as shown in the following example:

SMS Example

Effect

123456HOMELIGHT=ON #123456*HOMELIGHT=ON* #123456HOMELIGHT=ON3600S

123456HOMELIGHT=ON50M #123456HOMELIGHT=ON3600

123456HOMELIGHT=ON000S #123456HOMELIGHT=OFF*

Bistable activation. Activated as programmed. Active for 3600 seconds. Active for 50 minutes. Activated as programmed, the invalid ON time parameter is ignored. Activated as programmed, the invalid ON time parameter is ignored. Deactivated.

To activate the output with an SMS using the programmed settings, remove the parameter TonU and leave the characters *.
(Example: #9876HOMELIGHT=ON**). If the monostable output is programmed incorrectly, the output will be activated for the Monostable Time On set in the Console.

Caller ID
The output is activated free of charge, since after it has recognised the caller, the device activates the output without answering the call.
Monostable outputs return to standby after the programmed Monostable Time On.
The Monostable Time On can be set from 1 second to 86400 seconds, with a 1 second resolution.

Options
The Options page differs depending on the user’s access level: normal user, installer, level 4 installer.
User Authentication
Installer Code Enabled: the normal user uses this option to enable the installer for programming the communicator.
The installer need only be enabled if the EN50136 option is enabled.
The installer is disabled automatically 12 hours after being enabled. Disabling the installer also automatically disables the level 4 installer.
User Code: enter the normal user code here (at most 6 digits), for use, among others, in remotely activating the outputs. Factory setting: 000000.
Installer Authentication
Installer Code: enter the installer code here (6 digits). Factory setting: 111111. Level 4 Installer Code Enabled: the installer can enable the level 4 installer code for communicator firmware updates
here.
This option is disabled if the EN50136 option is disabled.
EN50136: the installer can enable/disable the EN50136 option in this box.
To ensure conformity with EN 50136-2, the EN50136 option should NOT be disabled.
Level 4 Installer Authentication
Level 4 Installer Code: enter the level 4 installer code here (6 digits). This code gives access to firmware updates and Status page display. Factory setting: 222222.
Dialing Options
This section configures certain aspects of the phone numbers. Dial Prefix: the number entered in this box is placed before any number dialled by the communicator over the cellular
channel. Enter the prefix (1 to 8 digits) or leave the field empty, if unused. Digits to Remove: if the communicator is connected to a phone switchboard, the phone numbers (programmed in the
panel) must be preceded by the switchboard number (normally a single digit). Since the switchboard number is not necessary when calls are made to the GSM network, it must be removed from the number. Enter the number of digits that form the switchboard number (e.g. if switchboard number is 01, enter 2 in the Digits to Remove option, as 2 numbers form the switchboard number).
The phone number must have at least two digits more than the number entered in Digits to Remove, otherwise the engaged
tone is generated.
Example:
1. Set the Dial Prefix = 9999 and set Digits to Remove to 2 on the communicator. 2. Configure a voice call on the panel using the number 9999011234567890. 3. Activate the call on the panel.

GS4015/GS4005/3G4005/TL405LE

firealarmresources.com

4. The communicator will send the call to the number 1234567890.
If the Digits to Remove option is enabled and the panel calls a number which has CID/SIA Event Conversion enabled
(see Phonebook), the phone number in the phonebook must match the one programmed on the panel (including prefix), in order for the communicator to convert it.
Black List Enabled: if enabled, the communicator forwards to devices connected to terminals LI, the calls coming from telephone numbers with White List option is enabled ONLY (see “Phonebook” on page 46).
This option affect ONLY calls over the cellular channel; incoming calls to communicator’s terminals LE are ALWAYS
forwarded to terminals LI.
The Black List function COMBINED with Activate Output on Caller ID delays call refusal by a few seconds. The
confirmation ring tone associated with Activate Output on Caller ID delays call refusal by a few seconds. If the call is refused immediately, the output has not been activated.
Tones: select the country of Communicator installation; the selected country will set adequately a series of parameters for the proper working of the simulated telephone line.
Roaming Enabled: enables the communicator to connect to another mobile service provider when that of communicator’s SIM is not available.
Additional charges may apply.
Priorities
This options allows you to configure the communicator’s actions priority.
Dialer / LI Priority: defines the priority of the communicator actions (see Dialer Events Priority) and the LI (messages transmitted by devices connected to the LI terminals, such as a burglar alarm panel).

IP Receivers
This page sets the options relating to the communicator’s connection with compatible Sur-Gard System IP receivers.
Given possible delays in transmission on the cellular data network, depending on the activity of the network operator,
we recommend programming as high as possible the number of call attempts on the panel, and also setting a backup phone number which will send the alarms to a PSTN receiver.
The communicator does NOT support the shutdown command by Sur-Gard receivers.
Receiver Options
Receiver Channel Priority: select the channel, and the priority, the communicator uses to communicate with the receivers. Factory setting: Cellular Only.
Fibro Account # (Cellular): enter the account number for the Fibro protocol over the cellular channel: when transmitting events to IP receivers, the Contact ID and SIA are wrapped in the Fibro protocol and this requires its own account number to identify the account which is sending the events. Contact your central station for details. Factory setting
