5.5 Setting up a communicator
The CSx75 supports different modes of reporting events to multiple central stations.
There are six phone numbers - each phone number has it own account code, protocol
and events. The configured prefix is common to all six phone numbers. If a four-second
delay is specified in the prefix, the panel does not look for a dial tone, but performs blind-
dialling. The following scenarios are examples of how to set different modes of reporting.
5.5.1 Reporting to one phone number
The control panel reports events to one central station only. You specify settings for
phone number 1. Events for phone number 1 are enabled by default.

5.5.2 Backup reporting
Backup reporting configures the control panel to report to two or more central stations.
The first phone number belongs to the main central station and all other phone numbers
belong to the backup central stations. Events are reported to the first number but, if the
panel cannot reach this number, it dials the backup number(s). The control panel makes
two calls to each number in sequence. It performs the sequence for the number of times
specified in ARC Dial Attempts or until it receives a kiss off. The same account code is
used to report to all numbers. Events for phone number 1 are enabled by default and
events for phone numbers 2 - 6 are disabled by default. If phone number 1 and phone
number 2 are programmed, the default sequence is 1,1 2,2 1,1,2,2 for a total of eight
calls to each number.
