Program Change 

        If enabled, the control panel will report to the central station when the panel receives a download from the Quickloader 

(change of program), or exits a keypad dealer program mode.  Select option by enabling the "Program Change" (located in 
the 

System Assignment 

screen, 

System Reporting/Outputs 

tab).  Required in Fire reporting accounts. 

 

Receiver Format 

        The communicator can be programmed to transmit to any standard central-station receiver.  A receiver format must be en-

tered for each telephone number used, but a different format may be assigned to each. 

        Only SIA and Point ID are supported, pulse formats are not allowed.  Use ADV. Code selection and use "

RECEIVER FOR-

MATS

" chart to determine transmitted signal format to be sent.  

Note: 

 The NetLink NL-CSRCV Central Station Receiver Ap-

plication receives encrypted alarm data sent from the NL-MOD device through a TCP/IP network.  PCD-Windows Quickloader 
must be used to enter this receiver information. 

        Refer to 

Backup Report on Telco 2 

and 

Report Telco 3 

to determine whether or not Telephones 2 and/or 3 will be pro-

grammed.  Call the central station for each telephone number used to confirm the type of receiver in use.  Select the receiver 
format entry for each telephone number from the following table.
