[6] Remote firmware update
Default (ON)
ON: The Communicator module firmware can be remotely upgraded using the Ethernet path.
OFF:The Communicator module firmware can not be remotely upgraded. Local firmware update is still possible.
[7] Alternate Test Transmissions Default (OFF);
ON: When the periodic test transmission interval occurs, the test transmission will alternate between the primary and secondary
receivers with each test transmission interval.
OFF;When the periodic test transmission interval occurs, the test transmission will be sent to the programmed receivers, based on
the settings of the periodic test transmission reporting codes.
[006] System Toggle Options 2
[1] Ethernet 1 Receiver Enabled Default (ON)
ON: Ethernet Receiver 1 is enabled. OFF: Ethernet Receiver 1 is disabled.
[2] Ethernet 2 Receiver Enabled Default (ON)
ON: Ethernet Receiver 2 is enabled. OFF: Ethernet Receiver 2 is disabled.
[007] DNS Server IP 1
Default [000.000.000.000];
Programming this Section is not permitted on a UL/ULC listed system.
Enter the IP address for DNS Server 1. Format is 4 fields, each field is 3 digit decimal, Valid Range: 000 -255.
NOTE: If no value is programmed and DHCP is used, the DHCP Server will configure the address. If an address is programmed
and DHCP is used, the address that you program will be used instead of the DHCP address.
[008] DNS Server IP 2
Programming this Section is not permitted on a UL/ULC listed system.
Default [000.000.000.000];
Enter the IP address for DNS Server 2. Format is 4 fields, each field is 3 digit decimal, Valid Range: 000 -255.
NOTE: If no address is programmed and DHCP is used, the DHCP Server will configure this value. If an address is programmed
and DHCP is used, the address that you program will be used instead of the DHCP address.

Programming Options

[011] Installer Code
Default (CAFE);
Program your installer code for this Communicator module. The installer code is required when programming the Communicator module,
using DLS IV locally, or remotely. Valid Range: 0000 - FFFF.
[012] DLS Incoming Port
Default (0BF6/3062);
The DLS Incoming Local Port (listening port) is the port DLS IV will use when connecting to the Communicator. If a router or gateway is
used, it must be programmed with a TCP port forward for this port to the Communicator module IP address. Valid Range: 0000 - FFFF.
[013] DLS Outgoing Port
Default (0BFA/3066);
The DLS Outgoing Port is used for outgoing session to DLS IV after a request has been sent to the Communicator. You can use this Sec-
tion to set the value of the local outgoing port. The value must be changed if the Communicator is located behind a firewall and must be
assigned a particular port number, as determined by your network administrator. In most cases, changing the default value or configuring
your firewall with this port is not required. Valid Range 0000 - FFFF.
[021] Account Code
Default (FFFFFF);
The account code is included when transmitting any events generated by the Communicator. (e.g., Panel Absent Trouble). It is recom-
mended that the account code be the same as the Control Panel account number. Valid Range000001 - FFFFFE. If 4 digit account codes
are needed the 2 lowest digits shall be programmed as FF;( e.g., Account 1234 = 1234FF). Programming this Section as all 0 or all F will
cause a Module Configuration Trouble (yellow LED = 12 flashes).
NOTE: With the ALEXOR v1.1, the account code will automatically synchronize with the alarm panel account number regardless of
the value programmed in this Section.
[022] Communications Format
Default (04);
Program 03 for Contact ID. Program 04 for SIA. If connected with the ALEXOR v1.1 panel, the Communicator will synchronize with the
panel and use the same communication format as the panel regardless of the value set in this Section.
The module can be configured to send internal events in SIA or Contact ID format. The SIA communication format follows the level 2
specifications of the SIA Digital Communication Standard - October 1997. This format will send the account code along with its data
transmission. The transmission will look similar to the following at the receiver:
Nri0 ET001 Where: N = New Event; ri0 = Partition/Area identifier; ET = Panel Absent Trouble; 001 = Zone 001.

[023] Panel Absent Trouble
Default (FF);
Program 00 to disable or FF to enable. Will occur when communications with the Control Panel have been lost for more than 60 seconds.
[024] Panel Absent Trouble Restore
Default (FF);
Program 00 to disable this event or FF to enable. This event will occur when communications with the Control Panel have resumed.

System Test Options

Test Transmissions to Primary Receiver, with Backup to Secondary Receiver:
Set Section [026] to [FF] and Section [027 to [00].
• If the test transmission fails to the primary receiver it will backup to the secondary receiver.
• If the test transmission fails to the secondary receiver an FTC trouble will be generated.
Test Transmission Unique to Primary and Secondary Receivers:
Set Section [026] to [FF] and Section [027 to [FF].
• The module will send periodic test transmissions to each receiver independently, with no backup.
• If the test transmission fails to any receiver an FTC trouble will be generated.
