ComISDN Installation Manual Regulatory Requirements
INS187 3
1. Regulatory Requirements
General
The Premier ComISDN digimodem must be installed by an electrically competent
person. Before attempting to install the digimodem, the installer must be aware of
the regulatory requirements detailed in this section.
The digimodem is suitable for connection to the following types of telephone line:
• Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
Approval
The Premier ComISDN digimodem is manufactured to meet all European Area
telecommunication network requirements. These devices have been approved for
use with Council Decision 97/346/EEC for pan-European single terminal connection
to the Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN). However due to differences
between the individual ISDNs provided in different countries, the approval does not
in itself give unconditional assurance of successful operation with every ISDN
network termination point.
In the event of problems, you should contact Technical Support at Texecom Ltd.
The Premier ComISDN digimodem has been approved for the following usage:
• Automatic Call Initialisation
• Automatic Dialling
• Modem
• Multiple Repeat Attempts
• Line Status Monitoring
Any other usage will invalidate any approval given to the devices and as a result the
devices will cease to comply with the standards against which the approval was
granted.

Operation
The digimodem can be used to report system events to a Central Monitoring Station
(using Fast Format, Contact ID or SIA Level II) or to upload/download control panel
information using the Wintex UDL software and a PC.
In order to use the digimodem for uploading and downloading control panel
information you will require a PC with Windows 95, 98 or NT a modem that supports
V.21, V.22 or V.22bis operation.
To obtain your copy of the Wintex UDL software, please complete and return the
Software Registration form enclosed with the Premier ComISDN.
Communicator Operation
When a reportable system event occurs, the digimodem will seize the telephone line
and dial the telephone number for the Alarm Receiving Centre, once the receiver
answers the call the following sequence of events will occur.
• The digimodem will send a handshake signal
• If the handshake signal is acknowledged, the digimodem will report the event
to the Alarm Receiving Centre using Fast Format, Contact ID or SIA Level II
!"
If the handshake signal is not acknowledged, the digimodem will shut
down and attempt to dial another telephone number.
• Once the event has been successfully reported to the receiver, the receiver will
send back an acknowledgement signal and the digimodem will shut down. The
digimodem will then return to its normal mode
Modem Operation
The digimodem will monitor the telephone line for an incoming ringing signal, once
the ringing signal is detected the following sequence of events will occur.
• The digimodem will pick up the telephone line and establish a connection with
the remote computer
• Once the connection is established, the remote computer can be used to
upload data from the control panel or download data from a PC
• Once the remote computer has finished uploading/downloading, it will tell the
digimodem to go hang up. The digimodem will then return to its normal mode

3. Installation
Plugging on the Digimodem
! To install the digimodem, proceed as follows:
1. Isolate ALL power from the control panel (AC Mains and Battery). Do not
continue if there is power still present on the control panel.
2. Installing the digimodem with power still present on the control panel will
seriously damage the digimodem and invalidate any warranty.
3. Fit the 4 pillars supplied with the digimodem into the base of the control
panel (the two short pillars are fitted closest to the control panel).
4. Ensure that the board is the correct way up (see picture below).
5. Locate the 8-pin plug on the digimodem into the digimodem socket on
the control panel and line up the mounting holes with the pillars in the
base.
6. Once all the holes line up, press down gently until the pillars snap into
the holes.
7. Connect the lead from COM1 on the ComISDN to COM1 on the control
panel.
