4.6.3 Configuring Events Reporting to Monitoring Stations

The PowerMaster 360 control panel is designed to report alarm, alerts, troubles and other events and messages to two
Monitoring Stations C.S.1 and C.S.2 via Cellular i.e. GPRS (IP) & SMS or Broadband IP communications channels. In
this section you configure and define all parameters and features required for the reporting of the event messages to
Monitoring Stations such as:
•
The events reported to each of the two Monitoring Stations C.S.1 and C.S.2 and corresponding backups.
•
The communication means (channel) used for the reporting and the backup means (channel) in case of failure.
•
The customer's (subscriber) account number(s) to be reported to each Monitoring Station.
•
The IP addresses, SMS numbers and reporting formats of the corresponding alarm receivers at the two Monitoring
Stations C.S.1 and C.S.2 and the number of reporting retry attempts in case of failure to report.
•
The communication Auto Tests and communication Fail reports.
•
The reporting of certain system function events such as "Confirmed Alarm", "Recent Close", Zone Restore" and
"System Not-Used".

You can force the SIM card to use only its "Home Network" and disable it from roaming
to other networks in case the Home Network cannot be found.
Options: roam disable; roam enable (default).
Define whether the control panel will stay continuously connected "enabled", via GPRS
communication, or disconnect "disabled" (default), after each report session.
Some GSM Service providers tend to disconnect the GSM connection if the user has not
initiated any outgoing telephone calls during the last 28 days. To prevent from
disconnecting the GSM connection, you can configure the system to generate a "keep
alive" GSM call every 28 days sending a test message either to the first SMS number
(if exists) or alternatively first private telephone number.
Options: Disable (default) or Every 28 days.
Select the IP protocol used to transfer data over the internet/GPRS.
Options: TCP (default); or UDP.
