190  Guardall Director V4.74 User's Guide  21-0381E v4.7.4 
'UL', 'Long', or 'Fx Standard'). 
(In Canada, select ULC or FX Standard.) 
If you need more information, look for "S001:00" in the 
Commissioning Guide or Advanced Programming 
Guide for your system. 
- Prioritized Reporting (V4.4): Allows 
transmitting alarms in a prioritized manner 
(instead of all events in the order they occur). 
- Alarm Report Mode: The operation of a 
Bell-103 connection to a central monitoring 
facility (built-in 300 baud modem/dialler): 
+ None: Bell 103 reporting disabled; 
+ Primary/Dual: Built-in modem/dialler enabled for 
transmitting alarms to a central monitoring facility 
(simultaneous with HSC/SIP, if applicable); 
+ Backup: Bell 103 used only as backup if HSC (or 
IP) failure. 
(IP Connection--if  V3.3 panel and software)
: IP 
connections (SIP reporting) are documented separately. 
More
: Refer to the installation guide provided with the 
IP interface (may also be in PDF format on your 
Director CD). 
(HSC
): An HSC connection requires a high-security 
communications module, and Mark-7 / DVACS service 
(Canada). HSC modules require some set-up locally 
through an LCD keypad (for details, refer to the 
commissioning or hardware guide for your system). 
 SIA / CID Test  
- Frequency (and Time/Day Settings): The 
length of time between (and time of 
occurrence for) automated trials on the 
reporting channels (HSC and/or dialler--as per 
the "Report Mode" above). 
This allows 'staggering' the communications test times 
for multiple panels. With "Automatic", the time will be 
random from 1:00 - 4:00 AM. 
UL Listed Systems
: This must occur at least daily. 
- Backup Frequency: Future use. 
 SIP / HSC  (Central Monitoring 
Facility) 
- SIP Mode and SIP Account (V4.4): These 
settings pertain to reporting to a central 
monitoring facility through an IP (LAN/WAN) 
connection or an HSC module (Canada). 
SIP Account (IP only): This is obtained from your 
central station rep. 
SIP / HSC-IP reporting
: IP-based reporting can be 
through a standard IP connection, or via HSC-IP for 
secure communications. The use of HSC-IP protocol 
is determined by the panel firmware, IP module 
type/firmware, and the IP module setup. 
More: "IP Connectivity" 
A Bell 103
 (300 baud) connection can be used as 
backup if desired (see "Mode" under SIA/CID ; 
previous/above). With SIP reporting, an HSC/printer 
module can be used only for printer functions. 
SIP Reporting and Auto-Dial-Out to Guardall Director
: 
With SIP reporting to a central monitoring facility, the 
"Reporting Mode" (see previous/above) is supported 
only through an "IP" connection. With a modem 
connection to a Director PC, alarms / events will be 
transmitted each time a connection is initiated through 
this software. 
- SIP baud rate: The communications speed 
for reporting to a central monitoring facility via 
IP (SIP reporting). 
- Full report by area: Reporting will be limited 
to "Alarms Only" for areas set for this. 
Otherwise, the "Reporting" setting for each 
area will be ignored, and reporting will include 
"All Events" for all areas. 
Messages to be reported for each area: Refer to 
"Central Station", "Reporting" under “Areas and 
Related Settings", Intrusion . 
- HSC timeout: The duration for an 
unsuccessful communication attempt through 
a high-security module (Canada) before it will 
be considered an HSC comms failure. 
- HSC SIP Autoset: Future Use. 
 Paging  (Signal a Numeric Pager) 
UK/ACPO
: This feature is not supported with 
UK/ACPO operation. 
- Paging Mode: Future Use. This allows 
enabling or disabling numeric paging, and 
selecting the format/protocol to be used. 
None: Numeric paging disabled. 
Numeric semadigit w/handshake
: North America with 
handshaking. 
Blind SemaDigit
: North America without handshaking. 
SemaPhone
: Common for Europe. 
- Pager Phone Number: This is the phone 
number of the (numeric) pager to be notified 
when any of the paging outputs are triggered.
