Split reporting: *49

This filed may send alarms to the primary number, but test reports to the secondary number. If you don’t have a secondary phone number, or your secondary account number is not correct, you will get alarms, but not test.

In general, you probably want *49 = 0.

Verify that the panel is able to send other signals.

Activate an alarm (or other signal) to verify that basic communication setup is correct.

Try to send a manual test report.

At the keypad, key the installer code + 5 +1.

SYSTEM MUST BE READY with no bypassed zones (communicator can not be active)

If the test is successful, Keypad will display "Phone Okay" or "Cd" on Fixed English Keypads.

If this test fails the keypad will display "Comm Failure" or FC on fixed-English keypads.

To exit this mode hit Installers code + off.
