ARC Reporting

Note: The i-on30EXD and i-on50EXD both have a built-in digital communicator. Plugging
in a communications module disables the built-in communicator. The ARC Reporting
option then applies to the plug-in module (NOT the built-in module).
To program how the control unit will communicate with an ARC select
Communications - ARC Reporting.
Call Mode
To choose the call mode for communicating with an ARC select: Communications – ARC
Reporting – Call Mode. The call modes available are:
Disabled.
The control unit disables all ARC communications.
Note: If you have fitted an 8750 module to the control unit then the module will continue to
send Poll calls to the ARC even if you set call mode to disabled. (The ARC will not
receive alarm or test calls.) If you also disconnect the Ethernet cable from the 8750
module the control unit will not raise a Line Fail or Poll Fail alert, because you have
set the call mode to disabled.
Single.
The control unit reports to the first telephone number in the Phone Book, using a
single account number (see "Account Numbers" on page 107).
Operation: The control unit dials the number and attempts to connect with the ARC. If
the call fails, the control unit ends the call and then re-attempts to connect up to a
maximum of 15 times.
Alternate.
The control unit reports to one of the two telephone numbers in the Phone Book.
Operation: The control unit dials the first telephone number and attempts to connect
to the ARC. If it fails, it will then close down and dial the second telephone number
and attempt to connect to the ARC. If received and acknowledged on this attempt,
the alarm transmission is complete. If the control unit fails to connect to the second
telephone number, it will close down again and re-attempt to connect to the first
telephone number. The control unit will continue to shuttle between the two numbers
up to 15 times.
Phone Book
This option does NOT appear if a GPRS or Ethernet module is fitted. Use this menu to
store two telephone numbers that the control unit uses to report alarms to the ARC. The
control unit accepts one telephone number if you choose Single in the Call Mode menu, or
two telephone numbers if you select Alternate in the Call Mode menu.
The control unit can store telephone numbers up to 31 digits long.
Use the  and  keys to move the cursor backwards and forwards through the number if
you wish to edit it.

Press to delete the digit to left of the cursor.
Press * to add a 2 second pause, if required. The display shows this as a comma.
