Programming The Control Panel - DSC GSM 1000 Installation Manual

4.3 Programming the Control Panel

IMPORTANT NOTE
When a control panel is programmed for GSM 1000 operation, the PGM1 output is dedicated to the
GSM 1000 Communicator and cannot be used for other functions.
The GSM 1000 utilizes and relies on the features and functionality in DSC control panels which are
present for the Links1000 Communicator. Therefore, any reference in the control panel's installa-
tion manual to Links1000 programming also applies to the GSM 1000.
4.3.1 Telephone Number Preamble
The GSM 1000 receives the telephone number to dial from the alarm control panel telephone number memory
location. The 'data' is sent via the PGM connection. The 'Preamble' programming section of the alarm control
allows for flexible dialing strings. This helps the installer use the most effective cellular plan available.
The 'Preamble' allows the installer to add a prefix or a country and area code to the telephone number should
the cellular network need additional dialing digits. In some areas, dialing the central monitoring station may
only require seven digits when using land line, while the cellular network may require country code + area code
+ a common specified phone number accessing the network. Still other areas may require what is known as
'0 plus' dialing. That is, the cellular network requires a '0' be added to the local telephone number.
If there is some doubt whether a 'Preamble' is needed, simply dial the central station from the premises land
line, then, dial the number using the installed GSM 1000. If both calls connect, do not add a 'Preamble'.
To add a 'Preamble' simply enter the additional digits required in the location provided (see Control Panel
Programming section). The 'Preamble supports up to 4 digits and they will always be dialed in front of the
telephone number in the control panel memory. Factory default of 'Preamble' location is FFFF. Program all
unused digits as "F".

when using the GSM 1000:
