Panel Mode Information 
- Panel Operating Mode: This sets the 
basic operating parameters and/or default settings 
for the panel (allowing one firmware build to be used 
world-wide). 
UK/ACPO
 (DD243): With UK/ACPO operation, the 
modem/dialler may not be available (i.e., older style 
main board with built-in bell 103 modem). 
Additional Regions
: These selections typically apply 
suitable default settings for the specific region. 
Changing the Operating Mode
: With Director v4.4, 
the panel operating mode is set initially through the 
new account wizard. At that time, some default 
items/values are set up automatically. If you need to 
change the panel operating mode, and wish to obtain 
suitable default values, it is best to set up a new 
account and delete the old one. 
- Language Set: Future Use. This determines 
the languages to be supported at LCD keypads. 
(The languages will be listed on-screen.) 
Feature Set Information 
- Panel Version: Set this to match the actual 
panel (firmware) revision level for panels 
associated with this account (all panels for each 
account must be at the same firmware revision 
level). 
Notes: With Guardall Director v4.4, panel firmware 
versions to be supported within an account is set 
through the new account wizard. If the panel version 
is set incorrectly, you will be unable to communicate 
with the panel(s). Panel firmware information can be 
found on the system (general) configuration screen 
after the 1
st
 communication attempt. 
Related Topics:  "System Settings for each Panel" 
(in a following section).  "Panel Communications and 
Updates" (in a previous section). 
Note: Some features may be supported only after 
upgrading to the latest firmware revision (typically to 
match the software revision). 
- Feature Set: (formerly "Memory Model") The 
memory configuration to use with all panels 
associated with this site/account. This 
determines the system capacities for this 
account (see "Columns...", to follow). 
Suites, Elevators: Support for suite-security keypads 
and/or elevator controllers requires a 'feature set' 
selection of 5
 or higher (via Enterprise software 
licensing). 
Bell 103 Connections
: For panels that will connect 
through their built-in dialler (Bell 103 300 baud 
modem), the feature-set must be 1-3 (single panel 
system, up to 300 users). This also requires a USR 
Sportster 56K modem at the PC (for compatibility with 
the initialization string). 
-(Columns of items): This shows the system 
capacities associated with your selected 
"Feature Set".
