56.1.11 Fail to Communicate
This option determines how long the on-board telecom module will attempt to gain a connection before the
COMM FAIL message is recorded in the event log.
When an alarm condition or event is to be transmitted to the monitoring station, the Telecom module snatches
the telephone line and dials the programmed telephone numbers. After a successful communication the LED
lights for three seconds, the module then releases the telephone line and reconnects any serially connected
equipment. This procedure is repeated for the second telephone number if the Receiver option has been
programmed as Dual.
NOTE: The Telecom module communicator snatches and holds the line until a successful attempt has been
made to the required telephone numbers or all the repeat attempts have been tried.
If the communication attempt is unsuccessful, the LED flashes rapidly for three seconds. The communicator
then waits for a short period before redialling the number (or the second telephone number if the Receiver
option has been programmed as Dual or Alternate ). When the Fail To Communicate option is left at the
default setting of 120 seconds, a communication Fail will be recognised if there has not been a successful
kiss-off, irrespective of the number of failed attempts. Bell Delay (parameter 51.2) is overridden when this
condition occurs.
The FAIL TO COMM parameter has 5 time values:
1 = 60 seconds; 2 = 120 seconds; 3 = 180 seconds; 4 = 240 seconds; 5 = 300 seconds.
NOTE: If the Receiver option is programmed as Dual then successful transmission must be made to both
telephone numbers.
56.1.12 Remote Access
This option defines when and how Remote Servicing will operate. The options are described as follows.
1 = Access Period
This option determines under what conditions the remote site can be accessed by the Remote operator. There
are four modes:
1 = Off
Remote Servicing access to the Galaxy panel is disabled
2 = All Unset
Access only when all the groups are unset. If groups are not enabled access is available at any time.
3 = Any Set
No access if any of the groups are set. The system must be fully unset, whether groups are enabled or not.
4 = Any Time (default)
Access available at any time
