GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide
If the communication attempt is unsuccessful, the LED flashes rapidly for three seconds. The communicator then
waits for a short period before redialing the number (or the second telephone number if the Receiver option has
been programmed as Dual or Alternate). When the Fail To Communicate option is left at the default setting
of 120 seconds, a communication Fail will be recognized if there has not been a successful kiss-off, irrespective of
the number of failed attempts. Bell Delay (parameter 51.2) is overridden when this condition occurs.
The FAIL TO COMM parameter has 5 time values:
1 = 60 seconds; 2 = 120 seconds; 3 = 180 seconds; 4 = 240 seconds; 5 = 600 seconds.
NOTE: If the Receiver option is programmed as Dual then successful transmission must be made to both
telephone numbers.
For UL installations, set Fail to Communicate option to 5 (600 seconds).
When the Faill to Communicate option is set to 5 (600 seconds), a COMM FAIL message will be
recorded in the event log after 7 unsuccessful dial attempts.
56.1.12 Remote Access
This option defines when and how Remote Servicing will operate. The options are described as follows.
1 = Access Period
This option determines under what conditions the remote site can be accessed by the Remote operator.
There are four modes:
1 = Off
Remote Servicing access to the GX-Series panel is disabled
2 = All Unset
Access only when all the groups are unset. If groups are not enabled access is available at any time.
3 = Any Set
No access if any of the groups are set. The system must be fully unset, whether groups are enabled
or not.
4 = Any Time (default)
Access available at any time
2 = Mode
1 = Direct Access
This permits access at anytime. Once access is authorized, uploading, downloading and remote
servicing can begin.
2 = Manager Authorize
There are two methods that an authorized user can use to enable access to the GX-Series via Remote
Servicing:
•
Timed Access: Remote Servicing must access the GX-Series within 40 minutes of this
option being enabled by the manager. Once connected, there is no time limit on the access
period. On terminating the connection, Remote Servicing can reaccess the system within a
15 minute period of the termination.
•
Call Back: the manager instructs the GX-Series to initiate a connection to a PC (with
Remote Servicing software loaded) by dialing one of the numbers programmed in the Call
Back option.
3 = Call Back
Up to five telephone numbers can be programmed into this option. Remote Servicing requests the
GX-Series to call back to one of the numbers.
NOTES:1. If Manager Authorize is selected as the Remote Access Mode, then the telecoms module can only
make outgoing calls - it is disabled from answering all incoming calls. This allows another telephone,
fax or answering machine to be connected to the line without interference from the telecom module
when calling into the premises.
2. If Call Back is selected, then access to the GX-Series is denied unless the call back option in Remote
Servicing is used to initiate the connection.
