About Serial Reporting
In addition to the numeric paging that is
supported through the main panels, the serial
reporting feature allows selected alarm/event
messages to be transmitted to an
alphanumeric pager.
This is done through a serial paging interface
that includes software for configuring its
communication parameters, and pager phone
number, etc.
Events to be Transmitted: Only events that have been
selected for serial reporting will be transmitted in this
way.

Communication Requirement: As this is a feature of
this software, only messages that have been received
by the software will be available to be transmitted. This
can be via settings for "Panel Communications to

printer or a computer running a terminal program such
as HyperTerminal (both presently untested).
