29. Zone Mode
When the GSM is programmed for zone mode, there are six input zones available.
The first zone input (TB1, pin 5) can detect a pulsed signal (reported as zone 1) or a steady signal (reported as zone 2).
When using zone trigger mode, messages are sent in ADEMCO high-speed format.

30. Zone Mode Programming Options
Trip Inputs 1or2 w/Bell out (N)
Enable this option when wiring zone 1/2 input (terminal 5) to control panel positive bell output.
This will help prevent false alarms caused by supervision voltage on the bell circuit.
This will also prevent the radio from causing bell circuit faults on the control panel.
Note: Enabling this feature will raise the trip voltage on zones 1, 2, and 3 from 2VDC to 5VDC.
This option should not be enabled with negative trigger inputs on zones 1, 2, or 3.

31. Zone Mode Programming Options
Zn1 Trigger Type
(V+)
This selects the triggering method for this zone input.
Options are: (V+), (V-), or (EOLR)
If zone is set for (V+), the zone will report an alarm when voltage input is 2VDC-14VDC.
Trigger levels above 14VDC may damage the unit and trigger levels below 2VDC may not trigger the zone.
Remember: Enabling “Trip Inputs w/Bell out” increases minimum
trigger requirement for zones 1, 2, and 3 to 5VDC.

32. Zone Mode Programming Options
Zn1 Trigger Type
(V+)
This selects the triggering method for this zone input.
Options are: (V+), (V-), or (EOLR)
If the zone is set to (V-), the negative triggering voltage must be less than 1.0VDC.
If the zone is set to (EOLR), the zone will report an alarm when the EOLR is removed from the zone.
Recommended EOLR is 2K ohms.

33. Zone Mode Programming Options
Restore Zn1 Y/N
(Y)
This enables the zone to report when it is restored.
Delay Zn1 (secs)
(00)
This option defines any delay in reporting for this zone input (from 0 to 15 seconds).
Rpt Zn1 ONLY if
Armed (N)
This option will disable this zone from reporting unless the conditional zone is triggered. (The conditional zone is zone 7 when radio is in zone mode.)

34. Zone Mode Programming Options
Invert Zn Y/N
(N)
This option inverts the alarm and normal states of the zone trigger.
This option is enabled only when radio is connected to a Lynx, LynxR, or LynxR-EN. This enables a silent panic alarm to be sent when a single pulse is detected on zone 1.
Lynx Panic Y/N
(N)

35. 7845I-GSM Programming Options
Basically the same as the previously discussed “GSM flt time.” In the event there is loss of contact with the network over the Ethernet connection, enter the time delay before the 7845i-GSM notifies the Central Station of the problem.
IP failure will always be reported as “Primary Communication Path Failure”
IP Flt Time
(60 mins)
Programming options are: “Neither Fault” or “Both IP and GSM Faults.”
If “Both IP and GSM Faults” is selected, the device will notify the control panel (via ECP bus or GSM fault relay) if both communication paths fail.
Notify Panel Of
(Neither Fault)_

36. 7845I-GSM Programming Options
If enabled, all messages (including AlarmNet network supervisory messages) are sent over GSM network in the event of an internet failure.
If disabled, all messages (except AlarmNet network supervisory messages) are sent over GSM network in the event of an internet failure.
GSM Rollover Y/N
(Y)_
If enabled, the 7845i-GSM sends a supervision ping over the GSM network once a day to verify backup communication path.
A “secondary communication path loss” message is generated if the message is not successfully delivered.
GSM 24Hr Tst Y/N
(N)_

37. 7845I-GSM Programming Options
Use DHCP Y/N
(Y)_
DHCP dynamically allocates the IP addresses (recommended). If you select “No,” then you must program the following fixed (static) IP addresses:
NIC IP Address: _
Gateway IP Addr: _
Subnet Mask: _
DNS Server IP Addr: _

38. 7845I-GSM Programming Options
Enable Pwr Save
(Y)_
For 24 UL battery backup requirement, this feature must be enabled, or the unit must be powered by an appropriate UL listed UPS.
What does it do?
If the feature is enabled, the communicator’s NIC card will power down and will power up every 20 seconds to send a test ping (to test internet path) then power down again. The NIC will also power up anytime the unit needs to transmit information over the internet. If connectivity problems occur with certain routers or switches, disable this option.

The PIN is only transferred to the 7845GSM device on the first data transfer attempt.
If your device fails to register, take the following steps using AlarmNet Direct.
Delete the account from “Show Programmed Devices”.
Add the account back using “Replace C” or “Replace Other Device”.
From the “Show Programmed Devices” page, execute the SEND DATA command and get confirmation of the data transfer by refreshing the page.
After current date and time are showing in the “Transferred” column, execute the “Register” command.
Following these steps will ensure the PIN is transferred to the device. Remember, If the device fails to register the first time, the PIN will be reset to FFFF and will not be accepted by the AlarmNet servers.

49. Programmerless Registration
Selecting “Done” sets programming to default values, which is ECP Mode, Device Address 03.
If the installation requires you to change any programming option from the default value, select “Advanced Programming”.
