Setting a Panel to Automatically Dial-In
and Transmit Messages to VEREX
Director
Panels with their own dedicated external
modem (or IP interface--if
 V3.3 Director) can
be set to automatically dial-in and transmit
messages to the VEREX Director system.
(In other configurations, the messages are transmitted
when a connection is made with the specific
panel/account—either manually by an operator, or
through a scheduled/repeating communications session
that was set up previously.)
First, check that the "Panel Groups" for each
applicable panel contain no other panels (one
panel per 'Panel Group').
For details, refer to "Panel Groups and Connection
Settings".
