Galaxy Vector Controller GCM2, GCM3

3 - 20 Operation

Issue 4 January 2008

When attempting to dial-out, the controller first attempts to dial
the primary phone number. It makes up to three attempts, at 1-
minute intervals, to connect to the primary phone number. If
unsuccessful, the controller makes up to three attempts, at 1-
minute intervals, to connect to the alternate phone number. If
still unsuccessful, the controller waits for 15 minutes and then
repeats this cycle. The controller attempts the cycle 6 times
before giving up completely. If the controller successfully
contacts either the primary or alternate phone number it sends
the alarm report and then disconnects.

Whether or not the controller successfully connects with the
primary or alternate phone number, it makes a new attempt to
dial-out when a new alarm occurs or all active alarms clear.

The alarm report includes the site ID followed by all active
alarms in the system or the message NO ALARMS if no alarms
are active in the system.
