Step 10: setting preferred networks (alarm receivers)

Menu choice 11.Alarm receivers
You will be offered the following menus when setting up the connections: First select the
connection that you want to set up: PSTN, GSM or ethernet.
telephone call
SMS
ARA
1 Here you can set the type of alarm report: speech or SMS, each network uses. After
pressing the F3 Options key you can indicate if you want to remove a network or put it
higher in the list to ensure that the network in question has preference. This is
particularly important when the alarm dialler has different telephone line options such as
analogue (PSTN) and GSM.
2 When there are a number of networks in the list, the sequence of the available
preferred networks can be changed by selecting the required network with the cursor
keys and changing its place in the list with the Up and Down keys (F2 and F3).
3 When there are more networks available than just those in the list, the option Add will
also appear in the list. This option will not appear if all the available networks are already
in the list.
How to deal with a number of line interfaces
Suppose that you have an Octalarm-IP that has a PSTN and a GSM line interface. When,
for example you have an SMS package but continue making expensive calls via GSM, you
would prefer that SMS messages were sent via the GSM module and the telephone calls
via the fixed line. Under these circumstances you should set the preferred network so
that SMS messages will be sent via GSM first of all, and that when this is unsuccessful, the
fixed line will be used as a backup. The settings should be reversed for voice messages;
so first PSTN and GSM as a backup.
