Communicator - Dialing

If the Communicator Disable option is selected the panel will not attempt to call central station. If enabled the
panel will attempt to call central station when an event occurs that has a valid reporting code programmed
(See Section 5.7 "Communicator - Reporting Code"). You must also program a valid telephone number.
Communicator Call Direction Options are used to select which phone number the panel will dial when
an event occurs.
If DTMF Dialing is enabled the panel will dial using DTMF (touch tone). If Switch to Pulse Dial is enabled
the panel will switch to pulse dialing on the 5th attempt to call the central station. If disabled the panel will
always dial DTMF.
If DTMF Dialing is disabled the panel will always pulse dial.
The Post Dial Wait for Handshake determines the amount of time the panel will wait for a valid
handshake from the receiver. If the panel does not hear the handshake it will consider the call a failed
attempt, hang up and try again.
The Maximum Dialing Attempts determines the maximum number of attempts the panel will make to send a
signal to the central station before indicating a Failure to Communicate (FTC) trouble condition. The 3rd Phone
Number can be used to back up the 1st in this situation (See Section 5.4 "Communicator - Phone Numbers").
