10. Communications
This section explains how to determine the way the Control System communicates via the GPRS, GSM, Ethernet and
PSTN modules to the Central Station and to the user.

10.1. System Reporting

The Control System supports six report accounts for central station and user reporting. Each account has its own
telephone number and communications options.
The first account is always primary, every other account (that is not a voice report) may be chosen as primary or
backup. Each primary account may have one, several, or no backup accounts at all. The order of calling is the
following:
1. First, the Control System calls all the primary accounts, in ascending order. In case a primary account
report fails, the Control System calls the backup accounts.
2. After that, the system calls the Voice Report accounts – see p. 67, 10.3 Vocal Message Dialer.
Note: If account is set as Backup after Voice Report account, reports to this account will be discarded. It is
Installer responsibility to program primary and backup accounts in proper order. To ensure proper
functionality, Installer will not be able to set Account 1 as Voice Report or Backup.
