Reporting

The NetworX system supports different modes of reporting events to multiple central stations. There
are three phone numbers - each phone number has it own account code, protocol and events. The
configured prefix is common to all three phone numbers. If a four-second delay is specified in the
prefix, the panel does not look for a dial tone, but performs blind-dialling. The following scenarios
are examples of how to set different modes of reporting.

Reporting to one phone number

The control panel reports events to one central station only. You specify settings for phone number 1.
Events for phone number 1 are enabled by default.
Note: The characters B, C, D, E, F can be used in control panel account codes. The letter 'A' cannot be used as part
of the code as it is a termination digit.

Backup reporting

Backup reporting configures the control panel to report to two or more central stations. The first
phone number belongs to the main central station and all other phone numbers belong to the backup
central stations. Events are reported to the first number but, if the panel cannot reach this number, it
dials the backup number(s). The control panel makes two calls to each number in sequence. It
performs the sequence for the number of times specified in Dial Attempts or until it receives a kiss
off. The same account code is used to report to all numbers. Events for phone number 1 are enabled
