For details, refer to "Panel Groups and
Connection Settings".
-------------------------
Then, access "Configuration
System Communication" for the
specific panel as described
previously.
Now, refer to the descriptions under
" Configuration ", being sure to
select the following items:
 Applicable communications device
under "Callback to Director" ();
 "Director Phone Number" or
"Interface IP..." settings, as
applicable, and;
 Your desired "Reporting Mode".
IP Connections: Secure and regular IP
connections are also supported. More: "IP
Connectivity"
Pick-List (bottom of the form)
-Panel: If the tree is not set to show items on a
panel-by-panel basis, you will be able to
select a panel here (for systems that have
more than one).
A "Panel Group" reference may also be shown here,
or
you can set the 'tree' to list configuration topics
separately for each panel. For more information, refer
to "Other Desktop Choices".
 Configuration  (PC/Panel ID, Host
Reporting)
Note: Some of the following settings will be hidden
depending on the "PC Connection Type" selected for
the 'panel group' associated with this panel. For
details, refer to "Panels, Panel Groups, and Related
Settings".
- Serial Number (also known as "Host Address"):
Enter the serial number of the specific panel
(this allows the software to identify each
panel).
Tip: The serial number is typically hand-written (5
digits) on a small sticker on the circuit board.
- Panel Code (also known as Account UID): This is a
reference number to identify the panel, site, or
account.
For a new panel, this can be any non-zero number,
and can be the same for all panels per site or per
account if desired. For settings to be uploaded from
an existing panel (i.e., a "Get from Panel" communica-
tions session), the panel itself must have a non-zero
"Panel Code" set up by an authorized service person,
and that number must also be entered here.
Note: In the unlikely event of two panels having the
same serial number, the "Panel Code" numbers would
have to be unique
.
Paging Feature
: The Panel Code number is used with
the numeric paging feature (see "Paging ", to
follow/below). For the paging feature to be used in a
multi-panel account, Panel Code numbers must be
unique
, or sequential / offset output-numbers must be
set up.
To set up sequential output numbers for a multi-panel
account, refer to the "Display Offsets" values under
"System Panels and Displayed Item-Numbers".
- Third Party Password: This is a security
‘key’ used by the software to block an
unauthorized connection to the panel (e.g.,
another PC running the Guardall Director
software).
For a new panel, this can be set as desired. To
upload data from an existing panel, this setting must
match the one stored at the panel.
Panel Communications to Director
These items pertain to panel-initiated communications
to the Director PC.
- Callback to Director: This sets whether or not
panel-initiated communications will be available,
and the type of device that the panel will be
using to make the connection.
Note: This is supported when each panel has its own
dedicated (external) modem--via 8 wire serial
connection (or IP-interface--if  V3.3 Director
software). Alarms and events will be transmitted as
