[390]-[393] LINKS PREAMBLES
Downloading can be performed through the LINKS1000 cellular
communicator if the telephone line is disconnected. If using the
LINKS1000 with Call Back, you need to program the LINKS1000
Preamble with the downloading telephone number in order for
the panel to call the computer correctly.
LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator
The LINKS1000 cellular communicator can be used three differ-
ent ways: as the sole communicator for the panel, as a back up
for either or both telephone numbers, or as a redundant back up
to the land line communicator (the panel will call both the land
line and via the LINKS1000). A LINKS1000 Preamble is pro-
grammable for each telephone number in the event that the
land line number is local but the LINKS1000 is required to dial an
exchange. When programming a LINKS1000 Preamble, all
unused digits must be programmed with a hex decimal "F".
Sole Communicator
The panel can be programmed to report only using the
LINKS1000 cellular communicator when an event occurs. To pro-
gram this select only the LINKS1000 for the Communicator Call
Direction Options for the event. In addition the Call LINKS1000
as well as Land Line option must also be enabled. When the
selected event occurs the panel will only attempt to call central
station using the LINKS1000.
NOTE: If a LINKS1000-only event fails to communicate, the LINKS1000
must successfully communicate a LINKS1000-only event in order for the
FTC trouble to clear.
Backup Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using the LINKS1000 cellu-
lar communicator if the panel is having difficulty communicating
an event using the land line. To program this select the tele-
phone number and LINKS1000 options for the Communicator
Call Direction Options for the event. The LINKS1000 is Backup of
Land Lines option must also be selected.
When used as a backup communicator the panel will attempt to
call the central station in the following manner:
• the panel will try to call using land lines - if unsuccessful the
panel will try to call using the LINKS1000
• if unsuccessful the panel will try to call using the land lines
• if unsuccessful the panel will try to call using the LINKS1000

[382] - THIRD COMMUNICATOR OPTION CODES
On/Off Description
ON Communications Cancelled Message Enabled. The "Communications Cancelled"
(LCD5500Z) or "CC" (LCD5501Z) message will be displayed if alarms are acknowledged
during the Transmission Delay time. This message will be displayed for 5 seconds on all
keypads on the partition. The acknowledgment can be from an access code, disarm func-
tion key, or a keyswitch zone.
OFF Communications Cancelled Message Disabled. The "Communications Cancelled"
message will not be displayed. This option is defaulted OFF.
ON Call Waiting Cancel Enabled. The Call Waiting dialing string programmed in Section
[304] will be dialed before the first attempt of each phone number. All subsequent dialing
attempts to the same phone number will not use the Call Waiting Cancel dialing string.
OFF Call Waiting Cancel Disabled. The Call Waiting dialing string will not be dialed. This
option is defaulted OFF.
ON For Future Use
This process will continue until the panel has successfully com-
municated with the central station or the Maximum Dialing
Attempts has been reached.
Redundant Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using the land line and the
LINKS1000 cellular communicator when an event occurs. To pro-
gram this select both the telephone number and the LINKS1000
options for the Communicator Call Direction Options for the
event. In addition the Call LINKS1000 as well as Land Line
option must be selected. The panel will call the LINKS1000 and
then call the land line when reporting the selected event.
LINKS1000 Special Preamble
In some areas of North America, dialing #DAT or *DATA reduces
the cellular billing increment. The LINKS1000 Special Preamble
(section [393]), allows the use of [*] and [#] characters for the
programming of #DAT and *DATA. The LINKS1000 Special Pre-
amble is sent BEFORE the Preamble programmed in Sections
[390] to [392]. Example: [Special Preamble][Regular Pream-
ble][Telephone Number]
NOTE: If this Special Preamble is programmed, it will be inserted before
the Regular Preamble of ALL telephone numbers. Hex digits D and E are
not supported for Preamble programming. If Busy Tone Detection is
enabled, the LINKS1000 must be tested to ensure full operation.
Refer to the LINKS1000 Installation Manual for more information
and connection diagrams.

This 4-digit number can be used with long distance telephone
numbers that are dialed through the LINKS Module. These codes
are used for programming area codes in cases where a land line
telephone number may be a local call, while the cellular telephone
number dialed by the LINKS module is a long distance call.
[393] - LINKS Special Function Preamble
This special preamble is inserted before all other preambles. It is
used for dialing such cellular numbers as #DAT and *DATA for
reduced billing increments.
