2. Install and activate the SuperBus 2000 cellular backup module.
3. Verify or change the following CS phone panel option settings shown in Table 17.:.

4. Disconnect the phone line by unplugging the DB-8 cord from the RL 31X jack.
5. Initiate a phone test (8 + system master code + 2).
6. The phone test attempt should fail via the phone line within 5 minutes. The panel will emit a long low
tone (and speak "phone failure 1" if so equipped).
7. Wait for the phone test to succeed via the cell backup. The panel should emit a short high tone (and
speak "phone test okay" if so equipped).
8. Verify the CS report.
9. If success does not occur, verify that the signal strength (RSSI) shown on the cellular backup module is
acceptable and repeat the process.
