COMMUNICATION
  Communication
Congure the communication options for the panel. The information you program 
varies with the Communication Type you select.
3.2 
COMM TYPE:    DD
  Communication Type
Species the communication method the panel uses to report system events to DMP 
SCS-1/SCS-1R Receivers or non-DMP receivers. Press any Select key.
NONE - For local systems. Selecting NONE ends communication programming. When 
COMM TYPE = NONE and there is an unrestored System Trouble, then the keypad will 
sound daily at 10:00 AM.
NONE  DD  MPX  M2E 
  DD - Digital Dialer communication to a DMP SCS-1 or SCS-1R Receiver.
MPX - Multiplex communication to a DMP SCS-1 Receiver.
M2E - Modem IIe communication to non-DMP receivers. This format sends the 
report codes of the Radionics Modem IIe communication format to the receiver(s) 
programmed in Receiver 1 and 2 programming. Once the receiver has been 
contacted, the panel waits approximately 45 seconds for the Modem IIe handshake 
before hanging up and making another attempt.
Note: Do not use the M2E communication option if the system has over 255 zones 
and/or over 254 users. When using Modem IIe to communicate between a Radionics 
D6500 receiver and the XR200-485 panel, zone numbers 256 to 299 and user numbers 
255 to 999 CANNOT be received by the D6500. Zone numbers greater than 255 will 
be reported as 255. User numbers greater than 254 will be reported as 000.
CID  HST
 CID - This option allows the panel to communicate to non-DMP receivers using 
the Ademco Contact ID format. When selected, the panel sends all of its alarm, 
trouble, and supervisory reports to the receiver(s) programmed in Receiver 1 and 2 
Programming. The panel sends reports to the receiver using either CID or standard 
DMP SDLC based on each receiver’s ability to process the CID format. The panel 
determines whether the receiver can process the CID format by the acknowledgment 
tones the receiver transmits when rst contacted. If the receiver can process the 
CID format, only those event reports for which there are CID denitions will be sent 
by the panel. This restriction prevents the panel from dialing the receiver for a 
report it cannot send.
HST (Host) - Asynchronous communication using the 462N Network Interface Card. 
The DMP Host/Output reporting format is transmitted over an asynchronous data 
network to the SCS-1 or SCS-1R Receiver. If you need to send a duplicate signal to 
the central station and you have selected HST, use Receiver 2 programming to send 
the duplicate signal. 
Note: When HST is selected, 2ND LINE programming allows you to select D2 for two 
line supervision when using a Model 893 or 893A Dual Phone Line Module. 
There are extra options available if you selected HST for the communication type. 
These options are explained in sections 3.2.1 through 3.2.5. 
3.2.1 
RETRY TIME: -
  Retry Time
After selecting HST, the keypad displays retry time: -. Enter the number of seconds 
(3 to 15 seconds) the panel should wait before retrying to send a message to the 
receiver if an acknowledgment was not received. The panel retries as many times as 
possible for a period of one minute before sending a network trouble message. For 
example, if retry time is set to 15, the panel retries four times. The default Retry 
Time is 5 seconds.
