Set operation parameters
System settings window
General
Write an appropriate Object number (4 symbols hexadecimal number).
Use security panel account ID - Account ID is set in control panel, if enabled it will be transmitted to a G16T.
Wait acknowledgement from ARC - after a successful reception of a message at the ARC, the communicator
sends a kissoff signal to the control panel. If the control panel does not receive the kissoff tone in time, it
retransmits the message.
Test period: periodic test messages will be sent according to a time interval set in this section.
Select Panel type - option INTERFACE DTMF means that the communicator is applied to receive information
coded in Contact ID format from the telephone communicator of the control panel in DTMF tones.
Enable and write in Dial tone frequency to indicate if communication is working and if it is ready to initiate the call.
Choose an input operation type (NO, NC) from list IN1.
Choose an output operation type from list OUT1-OUT2.
Specify time synchronization (Communicator will use time according to selected server) and output/input
parameters.
Access
The communicator G16T have two access levels for configuring the communicator:
Administrator code - allows full access to the configuration.
Installer code - allows limited access for installer to the configuration.
ARC reporting window→ ARC reporting tab
Note: Administrator and Installer codes must be six symbols in length, and contain digits or Latin characters only.
