Remote Mgt. Settings 
The System Communication screen 
This screen provides access to monitoring, 
numeric paging, and communications settings 
for a specific panel.

Wizards to set up a new system, and initiate 
communications with panels. (Look in the T
ools 
menu).

in the 'tree', and locate and double-click the desired 
account. 
MyTools Bar: System Communication 
In the Tree

Tip: The Grid / Form toolbar-button allows selecting 
your preferred view-mode (forms view is recommended 
here). 
Things You Can Do 
View or change settings as desired for the 
specific panel (see the selection-descriptions). 
Setting a Panel to Automatically Dial-In 
and Transmit Messages to Guardall 
Director 
Panels with their own dedicated external 
modem (or IP interface--if  V3.3 Director) can 
be set to automatically dial-in and transmit 
messages to the Guardall Director system. 
(In other configurations, the messages are transmitted 
when a connection is made with the specific 
panel/account—either manually by an operator, or 
through a scheduled/repeating communications session 
that was set up previously.) 
First, check that the "Panel Groups" for each 
applicable panel contain no other panels (one 
panel per 'Panel Group').
