Step 11: Setting preferred networks (alarm receivers)

11.Alarm Receivers
You will be offered the following menus when setting up the connections: First select the
connection that you want to set up: PSTN, GSM or ethernet.
telephone call
sms
pager messages
ARA
1 Here you can set the type of alarm report: speech, sms or pager , each network uses. After
pressing the F3 Options key you can indicate if you want to remove a network or put it higher
in the list to ensure that the network in question has preference. This is particularly important
when the alarm dialer has different telephone line options such as analogue (PSTN) and
GSM.
2 When there are a number of networks in the list, the sequence of the available preferred
networks can be changed by selecting the required network with the cursor keys and changing
its place in the list with the Up and Down keys (F2 and F3).
3 When there are more networks available than just those in the list, the option Add will also
appear in the list. This option will not appear if all the available networks are already in the list.
How to deal with a number of line interfaces
Suppose that you have an Octalarm-IP that has a PSTN and a GSM line interface. When, for
example you have an SMS package but continue making expensive calls via GSM, you would
prefer that SMS messages were sent via the GSM module and the telephone calls via the
fixed line. Under these circumstances you should set the preferred network so that SMS
messages will be sent via GSM first of all, and that when this is unsuccessful, the fixed line will
be used as a backup. The settings should be reversed for voice messages; so first PSTN and
GSM as a backup.

Storing settings

If the Octalarm-IP is connected to the ACC via the internet all the settings that have been
made will have been recorded in the ACC.
