Important Cellular Service Information
To avoid monthly overages, Bosch offers service plans that align with the common
applications for cellular connectivity on alarm panels.
WARNING: This parameter is critical for optimized communication.
Refer to Configuring for Cellular Service, page 280 for important information regarding how to
set up your control panel to ensure proper cellular communication with the central station

parameters
With the exception of the Custom selection, the Receiver Supervision Time parameter
automatically sets the Poll Rate, ACK Wait Time, and Retry Count parameters. These
parameters can only be edited when the Receiver Supervision Time parameter is set to
Custom.
The first time Custom is selected, the default value for the Poll Rate, ACK Wait and Retry
Count parameters is zero. Once these parameters are changed from the default, RPS retains
the values even if the Receiver Supervision Time parameter is changed from the Custom
selection. Each time Custom is reselected the Poll Rate, ACK Wait and Retry Count
parameters are reset to the saved values.
When the Receiver Supervision Time is set to Custom, use this parameter to set the interval
(in seconds) in which each SDI2 destination sends a heartbeat poll to the central station
receiver for supervision purposes. This ensures the integrity of the connection at all times.
The value entered in ACK Wait Time (Destinations 1 to 4) is the length of time the control
panel waits for an acknowledgment of a heartbeat poll. If the acknowledgment is not received,
the control panel checks to determine if the destination's retry count entry is greater than
zero. If so, the control panel retries the number of times entered in Retry Count (Destinations
1 to 4) to send the heartbeat poll before declaring the path failed and generating a COMM
FAIL SDI2 ## event. (Refer to the table below for the correct ## value.)
