VISTA-128BPT/128BPT-SIA/250BPT INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
Integrating an AlarmNet Communicator
The control features Dynamic Signaling Delay and Dynamic Signaling Priority message reporting when an
AlarmNet Communicator is used. These options are accessed through data fields
Dynamic Signaling feature is designed to reduce the number of redundant reports sent to central station.
The feature is described as follows:
Dynamic Signaling Delay (Field
Select the time the panel waits for an acknowledgment from the first reporting path before it attempts to send a
report to the secondary reporting path. Delays can be selected from 0 to 225 seconds, in 15-second increments.
NOTE: Dynamic Signaling Delay is disabled when the primary reporting path is in a fault condition.
Dynamic Signaling Priority (Field
Select the initial reporting destination for reports, Primary Dialer (0) or Communicator (1).
The chart below provides an explanation of how the Dynamic Signaling feature functions.

is...
Primary Phone
Acknowledged before delay expires
No. ("0")
Not acknowledged before delay expires
Long Range
Acknowledged before delay expires
Radio ("1")
Not acknowledged before delay expires
Additional Communicator reporting options are defined by selecting the events for each subscriber ID in fields ∗58
and ∗59. The reporting events are:
• Alarms
Also, within an enabled category, the specific event must be enabled for primary dialer reporting.
NOTE: The Periodic Test Report does not follow Dynamic Signaling Priority. It is always sent to all enabled
communication paths.
Dual/Split Reporting Notes
• There are two subscriber IDs programmed into the
Communicator: Primary and Secondary. ∗51 Dual
Reporting must be enabled for events selected in
∗59 to report to the secondary subscriber ID of the
AlarmNet communicator.
• Dual reporting over the AlarmNet communicator
requires two subscriber ID's programmed into the
control for each partition (∗32 for Primary and ∗90
for Secondary).
• If a subscriber ID for a partition is not
programmed, the panel will not report events for
the partition; the events enabled in ∗58 and ∗59
for the corresponding subscriber ID in the
Communicator will not be transmitted.
• The Periodic Test report does not follow Dynamic
Signaling Priority. It is always sent to all enabled
communication paths.

Example (Dual Reporting Enabled in ∗51)
1. Event is recorded in the control's reporting buffer.
2. Control sends report to the primary and secondary
phone numbers.
3. Control sends the same message to the AlarmNet
Communicator.
4. Second event is sent and the process starts over.
The first event in the queue is transmitted to both the
primary and the secondary Communicator central
stations before transmitting the second event.
Split Reporting Note (1∗34)
If Split Reporting (1∗34) is selected for the control,
only events reporting to the Primary phone number
will report over the AlarmNet communicator.
