Program a Receiver

The options available in programming depend on the receiver model and whether communication has been established with the receiver. The following topics cover receiver programming options in each window.

Receiver System Options

1. Go to Program > Receiver Sys Options.

2. To retrieve existing programming from the receiver, select Retrieve.

3. In Company Name, enter your company name.

4. In Receiver Number, enter the receiver number. Range 0-9. Default is 1.

5. If necessary, enter the receiver key in Receiver Key. Receiver keys are eight-character alphanumeric codes that are requested when using remote programming.

6. If a service code is required, enter it in Service Code. A service code is a 5-digit service authorization code used to authenticate service personnel before allowing access to panel programming or performing any user operations. Range for the 5-digit code is 00000-65535. Entering 00000 for the Service Code disables this feature and access to panel programming is always granted. Default is 00000.

7. To set the receiver time zone, enter the appropriate value from Hours From GMT. Default is 6.

8. To enable monitoring of DD line cards for failed communication with panels, select Dialer Line Monitor. Default is disabled.

9. To send the system options to the receiver, select Send.

10. Select OK.

Print Operation

This section assigns the activity log and printer programming for the SCS-1R. Connect the printer to the Activity Log port on the back of the SCS-1R Receiver.

1. Go to Program > Print Operation.

2. To retrieve existing programming from the receiver, select Retrieve.

3. In Print, select one of the following options:

   • Never: Suppresses all printing o

   • Always: Default. Prints all messages from the receiver.

   • Primary Fail: Prints only when communication to the primary host fails.

4. In Port Type, select the printer communication type.

5. To send the system options to the receiver, select Send.

6. Select OK.

Receiver Line Cards

1. Go to Program > Receiver Line Cards.

2. To retrieve existing programming from the receiver, select Retrieve.

3. To add a new line card, select New.

4. In Card Number, enter the card number. Range is 1-8.

   • Note: Lines 6-8 can only be used with SCS-104 Line Cards using SCS-150 Version 101 and updated SCS-RACK hardware.

5. In Card Model, select one of the following options:

   • None

   • SCS-104

   • SCS-101 o

   • SCS-100

6. To allow the receiver to update the panel's clock, select Send Time to Panels.

7. For SCS-104 cards, select options as needed. Refer to "SCS-104 Option Reference" in this topic.

8. To send the system options to the receiver, select Send.

9. Select OK.

SCS-104 Option Reference

SCS-104 Dialer

• Dialer Line Enable: Enable Dialer Lines 1-4 on each card number.

• Send ANI/DNIS Information: ANI sends the phone number that the panel is using to call. DNIS sends information about the phone number the panel dialed.

• Send Caller ID Information: Sends information to host automation.

• Echo Cancel Disable: If echo cancellation is interfering with alarm signals, select this option.

SCS-104 Network

• Net Line Enable: Enable network for the selected line card.

• Local IP Address: Enter the local receiver IP address. This address must be unique and cannot be duplicated. The default value is 192.168.000.250.

• Local Port: Enter the local port number. Valid range is 1 to 65,535. The default value is 2001.

• Gateway IP Address: Enter the Gateway IP Address to exit your local network. The default value is 000.000.000.000.

• Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask assigned to the receiver. The default value is 255.255.255.000. o Passphrase: To communicate using encryption, the panel, SCS-104, and receiver must have a matching passphrase programmed. If a passphrase is not entered, the receiver communicates with panels, but the data is not encrypted. Caution: Do not lose the passphrase. A lost or forgotten passphrase requires that every panel reporting in to the SCS-104 at the receiver be individually reprogrammed with a new passphrase.

• S16 and S17 Always: When selected, S16 Panel Not Responding messages are always sent to the automation computer for each supervised account that has stopped sending check-in messages without regard to the number of accounts generating S16 messages. S17 Panel Response Restored messages are sent to the automation computer each time a supervised account checks in for the first time after installation. This also occurs at an account’s first check-in after the receiver or SCS-104 is powered-up.

• Ack Substituted Message: When selected, the SCS-104 replies with an acknowledgment to messages sent by substituted panels. The SCS-104 generates only one S58 Alarm Panel Substitution message to the host automation computer and receiver printer for each substituted panel. Subsequent messages from substituted panels do not generate additional S58 messages.

Note: Do not select this option when compliance regulations require that panel substitution messages be manually acknowledged.

SCS-104 Check-in Table

The optional SCS-CTM Check-in Table Manager software is used to backup the records of supervised network accounts on up to 32 different SCS-104 line cards. Use SCS-CTM to repopulate the list of supervised network accounts when one SCS-104 or SCS-101 line card is replaced by another SCS-104 or SCS-101. The list of supervised network accounts used by an SCS-104 or SCS-101 on a primary receiver can be mirrored by the SCSCTM for use by an SCS-104 or SCS-101 card on a second receiver.

Note: The list of supervised network accounts on an SCS-104 line card is automatically populated when each panel sends its supervisory check-in message to the line card.

• Check-in Table IP Address: Enter the IP address for the computer where SCS-CTM is installed. Default is 000.000.000.000.

• Check-in Table Port: Enter the IP port used to communicate messages to SCS-CTM. Valid range is 1 to 65,535. Default is 2005.

• Check-in Table ID: Enter the table ID number to be used to identify the check-in table. Range is 1-255. Default is 1.

Receiver Host Programming

10. In Test Interval (Minutes), enter the number of minutes between message tests. Range is 1-60. Default is 1 minute.

11. In Acknowledge Timeout, enter the number of seconds that a receiver should wait for an acknowledgment before re-sending the message. Range is 1-15. Default is 3 seconds.

12. In Retries to Failure, enter the number of retries allowed without acknowledgment before entering a failed state. Retry number includes the initial message sent to the host. Range 1-15. Default is 3.

13. In Line Number Length, enter the number of digits used to report the receiver signal line number. Range is 0-2. Default is 0.

14. To send the system options to the receiver, select Send.
