Preface

The FE3000 GSM Engine is very versatile in its operation. This versatility is achieved

with many programmable options, however in most cases this versatility is not required

and only a minimum of programming is required. All programming options are non-

volatile and are retained even if the FE3000 remains un-powered. There are a number of

models of the FE3000, all sharing the same basic programming. Some programming

commands are only relevant to some models.

Programming

The FE3000 can be programmed a number of ways:

• Automatically after defaulting on power-up.

• Via a PC connected directly to the FE3000 RS232 port.

• Via SMS messages sent from a GSM mobile phone.

• Via a remote data link (E.g. PSTN or GSM data call or GPRS).

• Via an IPServer using Multipath IP

Power-up Default.

The FE3000 can be defaulted in a number of ways. To put the FE3000 into default mode,

short the “INIT” pins whilst power is being applied to the unit. Once power is applied,

remove the short from the “INIT” pins. Only the POWER OK led should turn on,

indicating the FE3000 is in default mode. There are a number of defaults in the FE3000

that you can choose from. The LED illuminated indicates which default you want to

perform. The POWER OK LED illuminated indicates you want to default passwords

only. To select another default, the “INIT” pins are momentarily shorted again. Each time

the “INIT” pins are shorted, a different LED will turn on to indicate a different default

has been selected. Once the correct default has been selected, shorting the “OK” pins will

initiate the default. During the default, every 2nd LED will briefly illuminate, after which

the FE3000 will resume its normal operation.

The table below shows the allowable defaults for the different models:

Programming Automatically when defaulted.

When the FE3000 is defaulted on power-up (see above) in many instances no other

manual programming is required. If you are using the FE3000 in any of the

configurations below then no additional manual programming is required:



• Connected to a Concept panel via a serial interface.

• When using Multipath IP.

• When using as a basic GSM backup with no remote access.

When a panel is connected via the PABX interface, selected programming items are

programmed automatically from the first communication from the alarm panel to the

FE3000. The table below shows the items programmed automatically:

Parameter

Description

Client Code

(CC)

This is the 4-digit client code that identifies system alarms sent from the

FE3000 to the Central Station. If left at its default of “9999” then the first

valid client code from the panel will replace the “9999” setting.

Panel

Number

(PN)

This is the default primary telephone number that the FE3000 will use for

all dial-up communications. If left at its default of none, then the first

telephone number received from the panel will be used to program this

item.

(In addition the “TN” numbers should be left at their default of none.)

SMS Service

Center

Number (CN)

If left at its default of none, and the network is recognized by the FE3000

when the GSM registers, then no SMS service number needs to be

programmed.

Networks Recognized:

Optus (Australia)

Telstra (Australia)

Vodafone (Australia)

Vodafone (NZ)

If the network is not recognized, a Center Number must be programmed

using the “CN” command.

If additional functionality is required, some manual programming is required. The table

below shows some common additional features and the programming that is required.

Additional Programming using SMS Commands

Owner Remote

Access Use the “CP1=<password>” command to setup password 1,

AND/OR program the Owner SMS number using the

“SN1=<number>” command.

Installer Remote

Access

Use the “CP2=<password>” command to set password 2,

AND/OR program the installer SMS number using the

“SN2=<number>” command.



SMS alarms sent

to Owner Use the “SN1=” command to program the desired SMS number.

Use the “PA=12”, and/or “INxx=12” to set what type of alarms

will be sent the Central Station and to the Owner using SMS.

(To only send via SMS, use “PA=2”, “INxx=2”.



Programming via a PC

A PC running a communications program such as Microsoft “HyperTerminal” can be

used to program the FE3000, either on-site using an FE3000 Computer cable plugged

into the FE3000 RS232 port, or via a dial-up modem. The operator sends commands to

the FE3000 to program the unit and request information. The command syntax is

described in the following section.

Programming on-site with an FE3000 Computer cable

Connect the serial port of the PC running a communications program such as

“HyperTerminal” to the FE3000 RS232 port using the FE3000 Computer Cable. The PC

communications settings should be 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. Push

the Enter key and verify the prompt “OK” appears. Now enter desired commands,

finishing by pushing the Enter key.

The FE3000 will process the command line and return with a reply if required. When the

prompt “OK” appears, another command line can be entered.

No password is required when programming the FE3000 using the RS232 port. The

operator is always recognized as the installer.

Programming off-site with a dial-up connection.

You will need PC running a communications program such as “HyperTerminal”. If you

are ringing the FE3000 PSTN connection, the communications settings should be 2400 or

1200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

If you are ringing the FE3000 GSM number, the communications settings should be 9600

baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. (Note that you will need to ring the GSM Data

number - not the GSM voice number. This can be supplied by the telco provider).

By default the FE3000 will answer an incoming PSTN call after 15 rings. (This can be

altered with the “RA” command). Fax bypass logic can also be used to access the

FE3000 if required – See section on fax bypass. The FE3000 will answer an incoming

data call via GSM after 3 rings, although you will need to allow this first by manually

setting the “SS3=3” option.

A password is required when programming the FE3000 using its PSTN or GSM

connection. You have 60 seconds to enter your password using the

“LG=<password>” command. Your access to commands will depend on the user.

(If the installer, the installer password needs to have been setup prior with the “CP02=” command. Once connected, operation proceeds the same as a programming cable

connection.



To hang-up from a dial-up connection, push the ESC key when the “OK” prompt is

displayed. The FE3000 will respond with the prompt “Bye?”. Push the ESC key again to

exit, or any other key to abort hang-up and resume programming.

If the FE3000 requires to use the PSTN line or GSM connection for sending alarms, then

the FE3000 will output the prompts “Bye?, Bye!” and will then hang-up after 5 seconds.

Programming via SMS messages

The FE3000 can also be programmed remotely by sending SMS messages to the FE3000

from any GSM Mobile phone. If the unit has just been defaulted (Using the “INIT” and

“OK” pins on power up), you have 30 minutes in which to send SMS commands with

installer permissions. After the 30 minutes has expired, then you must log-on with a

password using the “LG=” command, prior to using any other commands.

(Alternatively, you can program the installer SMS number into the FE3000 using the

“SN2=” command. This allows the FE3000 to recognize the installer without entering a

password by recognizing the GSM mobile phone used to send the command.)

SMS commands are sent to the FE3000 GSM phone number of the FE3000 you wish to

program. The SIM card sets the GSM phone number. The FE3000 will reply back with

an SMS message under certain circumstances.

The command syntax for programming via SMS is the same as that for PC operation

above. This means only one programming technique needs to be remembered.

On Site Firmware Updates.

The FE3000 on-board firmware can be updated on site by the installer with the aid of a

PC connected to the FE3000 Serial Port. This can be done to add new functionality to the

FE3000 or correct small problems. The sequence of events to update the FE3000 is as

follows:

• Power-down the FE3000.

• Download the required firmware version and update utility from the web site.

• Connect the PC to the FE3000 and start the Update Utility, “FE3K.exe”.

• The update utility will prompt the user to power-up the FE3000 whilst shorting

the “OK” pins, which will put the FE3000 into “firmware update mode”. All 8

lamps will illuminate.

• The utility will prompt for the file name (downloaded from the Web) and begin

the download.

Remote Firmware Changes.



The FE3000 on-board firmware can be also be altered remotely via a PSTN data call or

GSM data call. Although a full update is not allowed, small changes can be made to fix

problems if required. The same update utility as above is used for this purpose.

Command Syntax.

FE3000 programming is a command/reply style. You type in a command to program a

certain item, the FE3000 then processes the command, programming the desired item.

You can also send commands to request the FE3000 to reply back with requested

information.

A programming command always starts with a two-letter abbreviation, which determines

what programming feature you wish to alter. For example “SN” is used to program SMS

numbers to be used to send SMS alarm messages and can also be used to identify a user.

Following the two letter command is an “=” character, followed by the actual value you

wish to program. For example “SN=61456765234” programs the master user SMS

number.

(The “:”character may be used in place of the “=” character if you wish).

Many commands allow more than 1 item to be programmed. To select which item to

program, the item number is inserted before the “=” character. For example, there are

actually 32 SMS numbers that can be programmed. SN1 is the owner SMS number, SN2

is the installer SMS number and SN3 to SN32 are for general users. To program the

owner SMS number you could have used: “SN1=61456765234”. To program the

installer SMS number you could use “SN2=61404967142”

If the item number is omitted before the “=” character, then it is assumed item 1 is intended.

For commands with more than 1 item, you can program more than one consecutive item

in the same command if each item is separated by a “,” character. The item number

before the “=” determines the 1st item that will be programmed For example:

“SN1=61456765234,61404967142” programs both the 1st (owner) and 2nd

(installer) SMS numbers.

(The “/”, “.” or a space character may be used instead of the “,” character if you wish except for the CP, LG, RG, LC or ZT commands)

More than one command can be entered at once. The commands must be separated by

two “,” characters. For example:



“SN2=61404967142,,ZT12=Cabinet” programs the installer SMS number and

programs the zone text for zone 12 to be “Cabinet”.

You can fit as many commands in one line as you wish, as long as the total number of

characters in the line does not exceed 90 characters.

You can request the FE3000 to reply with the current programming of any programming

feature by sending the two-letter abbreviation of the command followed by a “?”

character. For example sending “SN1?” will cause the FE3000 to reply back showing the current programming of SMS numbers, starting at item1:

“SN1=61456765234,61404967142,X,X”

As many items that can be displayed will be returned in one reply. In this instance 4 items

are returned. (Note that SN3 and SN4 contain no number in this example)

If you sent “SN31?” then you request the FE3000 to send back the current programming of as many items will fit, beginning at item 31. Because the SN command

has 32 items, the FE3000 will reply with: “SN30=X,X”

You can request the programming of multiple programming features to be returned in one

reply. For example: “SN2=61404967142,,ZT12=Cabinet,,SN2?,,ZT12? will program the 2

nd SMS number, the 12

th zone with zone text and request the programming

of the SMS number and zone text to be returned in one reply:

“SN2=61404967142,X,X,X,,ZT12=Cabinet

Note that an “X” is displayed for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th SMS numbers, indicating they are

currently not programmed.

Note that if two many “?” style commands are included such that the reply will exceed

120 characters, then the reply will be truncated with a “Won’t fit” or an “Overflow”

error message.



Programming Errors

If you make an error in sending a command, the FE3000 will reply with an error

message. Listed below are the possible error messages:

Error Meaning

Command? The 2 letter command entered is not recognized.

No ?/= Command was not followed by a “?”, “=” or an “:”

Illegal Operation is not allowed for this user.

Too Big Item number specified is too big for this command

Syntax? Error in data for this command

Password? Unrecognized password

Separator? Illegal character when expect a space a comma, “/” or “.”

Overflow Reply size has exceeded maximum.

No Display Display of this item is not allowed

Won't fit Reply will not fit within 120 characters.

Locked Installer is locked out by Master using the “LK” command

Blocked Installer is locked out by IPfast server. Contact Monitoring Company

NOTE THAT IF USING SMS, NO REPLY WILL BE MADE UNLESS THE USER

IS LOGGED ON.



Security Considerations

Because the FE3000 can be accessed remotely via GSM mobile phones using SMS or via

a PSTN data call, care needs to be taken to ensure that no un-authorized programming

changes or other operations are carried out. The FE3000 uses a combination of password

(up to 8 characters) and mobile phone number recognition to implement security.

There are 32 possible users of the FE3000 system:

• User 1 is the owner of the system.

• User 2 is the installer responsible for programming and maintenance

• User 3 is reserved for the monitoring company.

• Users 4 to 32 are general users.

Each user has an optional password (CP1 to CP32) and an optional SMS number (SN1 to

SN32). The FE3000 will action user commands if:

• An SMS is sent from a GSM mobile phone, whose number has been programmed

into the FE3000 for that user. (Can be disabled if SS4=1)

OR

• The user uses the “LG=password” command to logon to the FE3000. The

installer (User 1) will remain logged on for 30 minutes, all other users for 5

minutes, or until another “LG=” command is received.

OR

• The “INIT” pins have been shorted during power-up to initiate a power-up

default. This allows SMS access as the installer (User 2) for 30 minutes. (Doesn’t

allow PSTN or GSM dialup access)

OR

• Access is made via a programming lead to the RS232 port on the FE3000. All

commands entered are treated as from the installer (User 2). This can be done at

any time with no timeout.

Note that for dial-up access, the “LG=password” must be used. The user remains

logged on for that call, or until another “LG=” command.

Note that the owner can prevent installer access by using the “LK” command and the

“UL” command.



Panel Download Security/Phone Bypass

Because external phones/fax machines are wired to the FE3000 PSTN mode3 socket, this

means the alarm panel does not make the decision to disconnect external phones, rather

this is decided by the FE3000.

If ring-up access is required to the alarm panel, then all panel fax bypass logic should be

disabled and the number of rings to answer the phone in the alarm panel should be set as

low as possible. Make sure the FE3000 rings to answer (“RA=15” is the default) is set at

least 1 higher than the panel rings to answer. (A ring in the FE3000 is defined as a “ring-

ring” cadence followed by a one second of no ring).

In normal operation, all incoming calls are passed to any external phones/faxes and

not to the alarm panel. The alarm panel can only answer a call if a phone bypass

procedure is evoked. A bypass procedure will also disconnect the external phones.

GSM Bypass

Phone bypass can be activated by ringing the GSM phone number, and operates as

follows:

1. Ring the GSM number for one or two rings only, then hang up. This will not cost

a call. Make sure no GSM number diversion is present.

2. The external phones will immediately be disabled for a maximum of 90 seconds,

preventing both incoming and outgoing calls using the external phones.

3. If a PSTN call is received within 45 seconds of the external phones being

disabled, then after one ring, all subsequent rings will be passed to the alarm

panel.

4. The alarm panel must now answer the call before the FE3000 answers the call

after 15 rings (Set by “RA” command, default 15 rings)

5. If a PSTN call is received between 45 and 90 seconds of the external phones

being disabled, then FE3000 will answer the call immediately as long as the “RA”

setting is not zero.

At the end of the call, or if the call goes un-answered, phone bypass is cancelled and will

need to be initiated again.

GSM bypass can be disabled by setting “SS3=1”



PSTN Bypass

Phone bypass can also be activated via PSTN calls only. This must be enabled by setting

the “SS2=1” option. Operation is as follows:

1. If a PSTN call is received within 90 seconds of a previous PSTN call being made

where either ringing stopped after 1 or 2 rings OR the call was answered in 1 or 2

rings, then, the external phone(s) will be disabled and subsequent rings will be

passed to the alarm panel.

2. The alarm panel must now answer the call before the FE3000 answers the call

after 15 rings (Set by “RA” command, default 15 rings)

3. If a PSTN call is received between 90 and 135 seconds of a previous PSTN call

being made where either ringing stopped after 1 or 2 rings OR the call was

answered in 1 or 2 rings, then the external phone(s) will be disabled, then FE3000

will answer the call immediately as long as the “RA” setting is not zero.

At the end of the call, or if the call goes un-answered, phone bypass is cancelled and will

need to be initiated again.

If PSTN bypass is used, any automatic answering machine or fax must allow at least one

“ring-ring” then a 1 second pause before answering. If this cannot be done then GSM

bypass must be used.

If the SS2=2 option is set, then an incoming call will never be routed to the alarm panel.

This prevents panel access under all circumstances.

Panel Callback

If alarm panel call back is required then ensure the following:

• The FE3000 line access digit has been programmed into the alarm panel at the

start of the callback number, followed by a 1 second pause (Set SS2=3 for a

pause). The default line access digit is “2” (“LA=2”)

• Do not program the “PSTN linked” input to report via any route that uses PSTN.

The default is no report (“IN17=X”)

NOTE: * means this command cannot be executed remotely

NOTE: Some commands have been updated over time and hence commands may have been updated since they were initially implemented

(an example is the SS commands)



A1 Destination 1 programming.




This command allows an optional address to be assigned to each of the 4 destinations. At

present this command is not used.

AA Auto-Arm Time (for Alarm Panel Mode) Default: X

This command allows the Auto-Arm time for the Alarm Panel Mode to be optionally

configured. If this command is not clear, the Alarm Panel mode is enabled and the Alarm

Panel is disarmed (OFF), when the configured time occurs the Alarm Panel will be armed

(turned ON). This command allows 15 minute increments to be set, for example the

following Auto-Arm times are valid:

AA=20:00

AA=21:15

AA=22:30

AA=23:45

To disable the Auto-Arm functionality, clear this command using the syntax “AA=X”.

AD ISP Account Details Default: Blank

This command allows the account details for ISPs (Internet Service Providers) to be

entered. Your ISP normally supplies these details. For each ISP an account name (up to

16 characters) and a password (up to 16 characters) can be entered as follows:

Two ISP accounts can be handled, one for ISPs connected via a PSTN dialup connection,

and one for ISPs connected via the primary GSM/GPRS connection

Field Description

AD1 Account name for PSTN ISP

AD2 Password for PSTN ISP

AD3 Account name for primary GSM/GPRS ISP

AD4 Password for primary GSM/GPRS ISP

For example, AD=fratech,Jupiter231 sets the PSTN ISP account name to “fratech” and

the password as “Jupiter231”

AE Secondary GPRS ISP Account Details Default: Blank

This command allows the account details for the secondary GSM/GPRS ISP to be

entered. It is the same as the above AD command.

Field Description



AE1 Account name for secondary GSM/GPRS ISP

AE2 Password for secondary GSM/GPRS ISP

AG Access Contact ID Group Default: X

This command allows a Contact ID group (area) to be selected that will be used by the

FE3000 to interpret open/close reports. Only if the Access Contact ID group matches the

received access group from the panel will the FE3000 recognize an open/close report and

update its own on/off status for the panel. The syntax is “AG=gg” where gg is the desired group. If the Access Contact ID group is set to “X”, then any open/close report,

no matter what the group (area) is will be recognized. The FE3000 uses the panel on/off

status to determine test times (see pt command).

AP Primary Access Point Name Default: Blank

This command allows the APN (Access Point Name) to be defined for primary GPRS

connections. If this option is left blank, the FE3000 will use a fixed name stored

internally as long as the network is recognized. If the AP is left blank and the network is

not recognized, then no GPRS connection can occur. The syntax is “AP=name”, where name is up to 32 chars.

E.g. AP=vfinternet.au is the public APN for Vodafone Australia.

AQ Secondary Access Point Name Default: Blank

This command allows the APN (Access Point Name) to be defined for secondary GPRS

connections. It is the same as the above AP command.

This command allows the baud rate to be altered when programming via the RS232 port.

The syntax is “BA=n”, where n determines the baud rate according to the table below:

N Baud Rate

1 600 baud

2 1200 baud

3 2400 baud

4 4800 baud

5 9600 baud

6 19200 baud

Note: the default is 9600 Baud (BA = 5)

BA Baud Rate Default: 5



BT Battery Test Time Default: 10

This command sets the time in minutes that a battery test will last when triggered at

9.00AM on the first Monday of every month by the FE3000. If the battery test time is set

to 0 minutes, then battery testing is disabled. For example BT=30 will cause the battery to be tested for 30 minutes, once every month.

(Note that whenever the BT command is sent, a battery test will immediately be

initiated.)



CA Clock Adjust Default: 87

This command allows the accuracy of the FE3000 Real Time Clock to be adjusted. The

default value is “CA=87”. Increasing this value by 1 will cause the clock to run faster by about 1sec/week. Decreasing this value by 1 will cause the clock to run slower by

about 1sec/week.

E.g. If the clock is 10 seconds/week slow and “CA=87”, then speed up the clock by

increasing CA by 10, i.e. “CA=97”.

CC Client Code Default: 9999

This command allows the FE3000 client code to be programmed that will be used to

report alarms on any of the 48 FE3000 system inputs. The syntax is “CC=xxxx”, where xxxx are the desired client code digits. Note that if the client code is left at its

default, “9999”, then it will be replaced by the first valid client code received from the

panel. All panel alarms will use whatever client code the panel has chosen for that report,

unless “SS1=2” has been set in which case the “CC” value is used always.

CN Service Center number Default: X

To use the SMS feature of any GSM network, the service center number needs to be

programmed. This number is programmed like a normal phone number. Each network

has its own number. The number may be left blank if the FE3000 recognizes the network.

If the network is not recognized, then the number must be programmed in international

format; that is the number must start with the country code. For example

“CN=61418706700” sets the service center number for Telstra Australia. (Note that

the preceding “+” for international format is not entered)

CP Change Password Default: N/A

This command is used to change passwords. There are 32 passwords, Password 1 for the

owner, password 2 for the installer and password 3 & 4 are for the monitoring company.

Passwords 5 to 32 are for general users. General users may not alter passwords. The

owner may not alter password 2, 3 or 4. The installer may not alter password 3 or 4. The

monitoring company can alter any password. Between 1 and 8 characters may be used for

a password. The password for User nn can be altered by entering “CPnn=new

password”. A password can be cleared by entering “CPnn=” with no password. For

example, for the installer to change their password to “blah” then enter “CP2=blah”

Note: The owner can also lock out the installer using the LK command. lk

Legal characters are letters and numbers, but not a comma character. Passwords are

case sensitive.



CT Communications Type Default: N/A

Note: Omnilink only.

This command allows the accuracy of the voltage measurement for Voltage In, Zone1

and Zone2 to be adjusted. The default value is “CV=0,0”. This should only be altered on advice from the manufacturer.

CV Calibrate Voltage Default: 0,0

Note: FE3000 Serial only.

This command allows the accuracy of the voltage measurement for Voltage In, Zone1

and Zone2 to be adjusted. The default value is “CV=0,0”. This should only be altered on advice from the manufacturer.

D1 Destination 1 Default: See Power-up default




Destinations are where alarms are to be sent. The FE3000 allows up to 4 separate

destinations to be programmed. An example of a destination may be “Joe Bloggs Central

Station”. Another destination may be “Franks Mobile Phone”.

Each alarm event in the FE3000 can select which of the 4 destinations it is going to be

sent to.

A destination is reached by using a route. An example of a route may be a PSTN Contact

ID phone call. Another route type may be a GSM Contact ID phone call. The FE3000

provides up to 16 routes that can be used when programming destinations. They are

labeled ”A” thru to “P”. These default routes are shown in the table below:

Route Description

A PSTN Contact ID to TN1 (If “TN1” is not programmed, use “PN”)

B PSTN Contact ID to TN2 (If “TN2” is not programmed, use “PN”)

C GSM Contact ID to TN3 (If “TN3” is not programmed, use “PN”)

D GSM Contact ID to TN4 (If “TN4” is not programmed, use “PN”)

E GSM SMS text to SN1

F GSM SMS text to a list of numbers defined by SN32

G GPRS Ipfast to IP1 using AP1, AD3, AD4

H PSTN Ipfast direct to IP1 using TN1

I PSTN IRfast to TN1

J GSM Irdtmf to TN3

K PSTN Ipfast to IP1 via an ISP using AD1, AD2, TN5

L PSTN CIDplus to TN1

M Not programmed

N Not programmed



O Not programmed

P Not programmed

Each destination can choose up to 4 routes to try to reach that destination

For example “D1=A,C,X,X” sets up what routes will be tried whenever an input is sent to destination 1. The 1st route to try will be a PSTN Contact ID call to the telephone

number programmed via the “TN1=” command. If this fails then the 2nd route tried will

be a GSM Contact ID call to the telephone number programmed via the “TN3=” command. If this also fails, then because no more routes are programmed, the FE3000

will loop and try the PSTN route again. These two routes will be tried until maximum

attempts are reached or a time limit expires.

Example 2: “D4=A,B,C,D”

All inputs that have been flagged to send to destination 4 will work as follows:

The first 2 routes to try will be two PSTN Contact ID calls, one to TN1 and the next to

TN2. If these calls fail then two GSM Contact ID calls will be tried, one to TN3 and the

last to TN4. If all these fail then the FE3000 will loop and try the PSTN route again.

Example 3: “D2=E,X,X,X”

All inputs that have been flagged to send to destination 2 will work as follows:

An attempt will be made to send the event via an SMS text message to the number

programmed via the “SN1=” command. . If this fails then because no more routes are

programmed, the FE3000 will continually try to send the SMS until maximum attempts

are reached or a time limit expires.

DC? Display Counts Default: N/A

This command is used to display various total counters that are maintained by the

FE3000. The maximum count allowed is 16383 at which time the count will start again at

0. The count values are remembered even when the FE3000 is de-powered. All the counts

are cleared whenever a power up initialization is performed. The counters are:

DC1 This count displays the number of PSTN phone calls made by the FE3000. It

does not include attempts where there was a pre-dial error such as no line or no

phone number programmed.

DC2 This count displays the number of GSM CID phone calls made by the FE3000.

It does not include attempts where GSM network rejected the call attempt.

DC3 This count displays the number of SMS messages sent by the FE3000 for any

purpose. It does not include attempts where GSM network rejected the SMS

attempt.

DC4 This count displays the number of SMS messages received by the FE3000 for

any purpose, whether the message was processed or not.



DH? Display History Default: N/A

VR? Display Review Default: N/A

The FE3000 maintains a running review log of changes and decisions being made in the

FE3000. This review log is useful for debugging problems and understanding how the

FE3000 operates. The review log is erased when the FE3000 is powered down. The

review log can be accessed using the “VR?” command. This will cause the log to

output time and date stamped information in real-time as it occurs. The FE3000 will

remain in this mode until the ESC key is pressed. See below for output details.

The FE3000 also keeps a history log. The history log will remember the last 128 events

that were logged even if the FE3000 is powered-down. The history log can be accessed

by the “DH?” command. This will cause the FE3000 to output the last 128 history log

items, starting at the most recent event. The listing will pause every 20 lines. When

paused, pressing the ESC key will terminate the command; pressing any other key will

continue the listing. The time/date stamp is accurate to the nearest 4 seconds. See page 51

for more details, log)

DI? Display inputs states Default: N/A

This command can be used to display the current state of any of the 48 FE3000 system

inputs. The syntax of the command is “DIn?” where n the number of the input you wish

to display. The reply will comprise an input description, the current state of the input and

the current programming. For example sending “DI5?” may cause the FE3000 to

respond with “DI5=BattTest is sealed (1)” This indicates that input 5 is the battery test input and it is currently sealed. It is currently programmed to send information to

destination 1. If the input was un-sealed it would display “Alarm”. If the input was

considered in the tamper condition it would show “Tamper”. See page 56 for system

input details. inputs )

DK? Display Options CRC Default: N/A

This command can be used to check whether the FE3000 options have been altered.

When entered, the DK command re-calculates the CRC for all the FE3000 options The

syntax is “DK?”. The FE3000 will reply with “DK= kkkk” where kkkk is the CRC for the current options programming. Once options have been setup, a note can be made of

the CRC. If the DK? Command returns a different CRC value, you know the options

have been altered.

DM Default Memory Default: N/A

DANGER – THIS WILL ERASE ALL OPTIONS



This command is used to default the options memory. The syntax is “DM=n” where n is the default number desired. The default number represents which particular default is

desired. See the section on “Defaulting” for more information on the “Default number”

DP? Display Programming Default: N/A

This command is used to display all programming. It will not work using SMS.

DT? Display Signal Statistics Default: N/A

The FE3000 automatically keeps statistics on the GSM signal strength for the previous 24

hours. This allows signal strength problems to be easily investigated. The DT command

allows access to these statistics. When DT? is entered, the FE3000 will reply with 48

lines of information, each line showing ½ hour of statistics. The 1st line is the most recent

information. The statistics displayed for each line are:

C= Number of times GSM went from unregistered to registered over ½ hour period.

A= Average signal strength over ½ hour period

L= Minimum signal strength over ½ hour period

H= Maximum signal strength over ½ hour period

M= Jitter (The higher the number, the more the signal strength varied in ½ hour period).

This command is used to allow small changes to be made to the FE3000 firmware via a

remote PSTN data call. This command is normally entered using the FE3000 updater

program. See Firmware Update documentation for more details.

GC GPRS Control Default: N/A

This command is used to control the GPRS connectivity in the FE3000. The syntax is

“GC=n” where n is a number between 1 and 8 as follows:

Syntax Operation

GC=1 This operation causes the GPRS sub-system to attempt a connection. The

APN is automatically selected based on the network provider. The AD3

command is used if an account name and password is required.

GC=2 This operation causes the GPRS sub-system and PSTN ISP sub-system to

disconnect.

GC=3 This operation causes the GPRS sub-system to attempt to send a nmea string

via udp. (SS7=1 should also be enabled)

GC=4 Attempt to start using the IT table for the IP address destinations (this will

only be attempted if IP1=0.0.0.0.0).

GC=5 Trigger a conventional time report.

GC=6 Reserved – do not use.

GC=7 Immediately force the modem to reset and toggle the selected SIM card.

GP? Return NMEA String Default: N/A

GU Secondary GSM/GPRS Limits Default: See table below

This command is used to limit GSM CID calls and GPRS sessions when using a duel

SIM MultipathIP STU. This command is similar to the GT command however is only

relevant to the secondary/external SIM. The syntax is “GUn=xxx”, where n is the parameter and xxx is the value.

Description Default Units

GU1 GSM flag fall for the secondary/external SIM 0 Calculate

GU2 Maximum GSM online time for secondary/external SIM 0 255 second

increments

GU3 Maximum GPRS session time for secondary/external

SIM

0 Hours

ID Client Identity Default: 0000,9999

This command allows extra client code information to be entered which is used as part of

the IPFast format. The syntax is “ID=hhhh,<hhhh>” where hhhh is a 4 hex digit number providing extra client code numbers for Multipath IP. The optional item

<hhhh> overlays the client code (CC=) and is not normally used.



IN Input Programming Default: See System Input table

The FE3000 has a 48 system inputs, including 11 EOL and 1 NO, 24 hour zone inputs,

and are numbered from 1 to 48. (See System Input table on page 56, inputs). These inputs

can be reported in conjunction with any panel alarms. Each of these inputs can be

programmed as to what destination(s) you want to send the alarm to. There are 4

destinations possible (See destination programming, (d1, page 21)

Each input is programmed with the “INxx=” command, where xx is the desired input

number between 01 and 48. For example, input 37 is the EOL Zone 1 input on the

FE3000. “IN37=1” would cause all zone 1 events to be sent to destination 1.

“IN37=12” would cause all zone 1 events to be sent to destination 1 AND to

destination 2. “IN37=12,1,1,2” would cause all zone 1 events to be sent to destination 1 AND 2, events on zones 2 and 3 to be sent to destination 1 only and events on zone 4 to

be sent to destination 2 only.

There are some additional options programmable per input. These are selected with the

digits 5 to 8. The options are:

“6” digit “5” digit Logic when a route fails

Absent Absent Try next route when route fails

Absent Yes Always stay with initial route if it fails.

Yes Absent Do not use – future option

Yes Yes Do not use – future option

“8” digit “7” digit Initial Route Operation

Absent Absent Choose whatever route is currently connected otherwise choose

1st route.

Absent Yes Always choose 1st route

Yes Absent Always choose 2nd route

Yes Yes Do not use – future option

For example, the FE3000 time report input is Input 7 and the default for destination 1

could be a Central Station using PSTN CID for the 1st route (primary) and GSM CID as

the 2nd route:

“IN7=1” will cause time reports to use PSTN with GSM as a secondary

“IN7=18” will cause time reports to always attempt to send on the GSM route

initially.

“IN7=158” will cause the time reports to only use the GSM CID route, and try no

other routes.



IP IP Address and Port Default: 0.0.0.0.0

This command allows IP addresses and ports to be setup for those connections that

require it. There are 5 address/port combinations that can be setup.

The syntax of the command is “IP=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.ppppp” where aaa to ddd is the destination server IP address in “dot” notation, and ppppp is the server port number.

(1 to 65535). Although the installer can alter this setting it cannot be viewed.

The table below shows which connections apply:

IP1 GPRS Primary address and port.

IP2 GPRS Secondary address and port.

IP3 Ethernet Primary address and port.

IQ4 Dialup ISP Secondary address (uses same port as Primary address)

IR Secondary GPRS IP Address and Port Default: 0.0.0.0.0

This command allows IP addresses and ports to be setup for the secondary/external SIM

GPRS connections. There are 2 address/port combinations that can be setup.

The syntax of the command is “IR=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.ppppp” where aaa to ddd is the destination server IP address in “dot” notation, and ppppp is the server port number.

(1 to 65535). Although the installer can alter this setting it cannot be viewed.

The table below shows which connections apply:

IR1 GPRS Primary address and port.

IR2 GPRS Secondary address and port.



IT IP Address Table Default: 0.0.0.0.0.0

This command allows for an alternate IP address table containing 8 (IT1 to IT8) IP

addresses. Each IP address in this table can be used by multiple paths. This IP address

table can only be used if IP1=0.0.0.0.0. The table will be used at startup or when it is

trigged by GC=4 as long as IP1=0.0.0.0.0. The syntax for the command is:

ITx = aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.ppppp.BGEP

where: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address

ppppp is the destination port number

B is the allocation nibble for the GPRS path SIM2

G is the allocation nibble for the GPRS path SIM1

E is the allocation nibble for the Ethernet path

P is the allocation nibble for the Dialup ISP path

The allocation nibble can be from 0 to 8. 0 is the IP address is disabled for

the path. Values from 1 to 8 are the priority to use the IP address for the

path.

For example: IT3=203.46.227.68.41001.1038 will result in

IP address = 203.46.227.68

Destination port = 41001

This IP address is the 1st (highest priority) IP address to try for the backup (SIM2) GRPS

This IP address is disabled for primary (SIM1) GPRS

This IP address is the 3rd IP address to try for Ethernet

This IP address is the 8th (last) IP address to try for Dialup ISP

IX Input Auxiliary mapping Default: 0

This command allows system inputs within the FE3000 to directly control Auxiliary

outputs on the FE3000. The syntax of the command is “IX=xxx” where xxx determines

how the auxiliaries will be effected by what inputs. Setting “IX=0” disables auxiliaries being controlled directly by system inputs.

See document “FE3000 Input to Auxiliary Mapping” for mode details.

IZ UDP Source Port Default: 0

This command allows the configuration of the UDP source port when communicating

with IPServer. This options can be programmed with any value from 0 to 65535.

Leaving this option set to its default of “IZ=0” will cause the FE3000 to generate a

default source port of 41001 for all UDP packets.



KY IPfast Encryption Key Default: 0

This command allows the IPfast encryption key to be entered. The encryption key

comprises 16 numbers, separated by commas, each number being between 0 and 255.

Normally entering the key manually is not required as it is automatically setup by the

Monitoring Company. It cannot be viewed by the installer.

This command allows a dial digit to be selected that can to be used by the alarm panel to

obtain outside access to the PSTN line, bypassing the FE3000. The syntax is “LA=n”,

where n is the desired digit. In this example, if the command “LA=3” was sent, then telephone users would need to dial a “3”, then pause at least 1 second to select the

outside line before dialing the desired PSTN telephone number. (SS2=3 provides a 1.3 second pause)

NOTE: Make sure you don’t choose a digit that is the 1st digit dialed by the panel when it

is calling the FE3000.

LD Line fail debounce time Default: 5

This command allows the time (in seconds) that the PSTN line must be failed, before the

PSTN line fail input is set to the alarm condition. Likewise, the line must restore for this

time also. The allowable time is 1 to 255 seconds. For example “LD=20” sets the line fail debounce time to 20 seconds. The default is 5 seconds

LG Log On Default: N/A

RG Remote Log On Default: N/A

These commands are used to logon to the FE3000 to allow other commands to be

accepted when accessing the FE3000 via a PSTN data call, or when programming via

SMS from an unrecognized mobile phone number.

There are 32 passwords in the FE3000, corresponding to 32 users. Password 1 is for use

by the owner and Password 2 is for use by the installer. Password 3 is reserved for the

monitoring company. Passwords 4 to 32 are used for the general users. (Passwords are

setup by using the “CP” command, cp)

For example, if the installer password was “blah691”, then to log on the installer must

enter LG=blah691. Once entered, any additional installer commands will be accepted

for a period of 30 minutes. For all other users, the logon time is reduced to 5 minutes.

If the command “LG=” is sent without a password, then logon period above is cancelled, and no more commands will be accepted. This is effectively “logging off”)

LA Line Access Digit Default: 2



Normally all SMS replies are sent back to the originating number. If the “RG” is used

instead of the “LG” command, then all replies will be sent back to the corresponding

“SN” number for that user, not the originating GSM phone. This is useful when

originating SMS commands via the Internet.

When no one is logged on to the FE3000 then any command from a recognized “SN” phone number will always be accepted as from that user. For example if a command is

received from a GSM mobile phone whose number is defined by SN5, then that command

will be accepted as if from User 5. (Accepting a user based on phone number can be

disabled with the SS4=1 option, ss)

This command is used to set the holdoff time for the GSM Modem Low signal input

(IN13). This is the amount of time in seconds that the low signal condition must be

maintained to cause an alarm on IN13. Likewise a restore will only be generated when

the signal is above the low signal level for the holdoff time. The syntax is “LH=xxx”, where xxx is the holdoff time in seconds. The default is 30 seconds.

LK Lockout Installer Default: N/A

UL Un-lock Installer Default: N/A

These commands are used by the owner only (User 1), to prevent remote installer access.

By sending the command “LK:”, the installer commands will no longer work. To re-

enable installer commands, the owner must send the command “UL:”

(The lockout setting is remembered even if the FE3000 is powered down, but can be

cleared if any power-up default is performed.)

LS Low signal level Default: 98

This command is used to set the threshold for the GSM Modem Low signal input (IN13).

The syntax is “LS=xxx”, where xxx is the low signal level in dB. The setting is from

050 to 113, with the higher figure being a lower signal level. For example “LS=90” will set the low signal threshold to minus 90dB. If the signal level is stronger than minus

87dB then the Low signal input will be sealed, if the signal level is weaker than minus

93dB then the low signal input will be in alarm.

Note that if the signal level is 3dB less than the LS setting, then GSM dialup calls will

not be initiated if the PSTN line is considered OK. If the PSTN line is not OK, a GSM

call will be tried regardless of low signal, as long as the GSM modem is still registered.

DO NOT SET LS=00 AS THIS WILL CAUSE CONTINUOUS REPORTING.

THE DEFAULT IS ”LS=98”. IF LS IS SET TO A HIGHER VALUE YOU SHOULD

CHECK THAT RELIABLE CID REPORTS CAN BE SENT VIA GSM.

LH Low signal holdoff Default: 30



This command sets optional text that can be appended to every SMS alarm message sent

by the FE3000 to a mobile phone. Up to 32 characters may be programmed. For example

“LT=Frank’s Garage” will cause the text “Frank’s Garage” to be appended to all SMS alarm messages sent by the FE3000. If the location text is left blank, then all SMS

alarm messages will start with the text “Client CCCC”, where CCCC is the programmed

client code as set by the “CC” command cc. Legal characters are letters, numbers and

punctuation, but not a comma character.

MR Minimum Rings Default: 0

This command sets the number of ring cadences the FE3000 will output to the panel prior

to sending the 1st initial handshake. The syntax is “MR=n”, where n is replaced by the

desired minimum rings. The number of rings is usually set to 0.

(Note that if the FE3000 has not yet sent old alarms due to congestion or retries, the

FE3000 will output ring tones whilst the old alarms are being sent)

ON Output on Default: N/A

OF Output off Default: N/A

These commands allow an FE3000 auxiliary output to be turned on/off. The FE3000 has

either 2 or 12 auxiliary outputs, depending on model. With 12 output models, only

auxiliaries 5 to 12 are controllable with these commands. The syntax is “ONn:” or

“OFn:” where n = the auxiliary output to operate, numbered from 5 to 12 or 1 to 2. For

example “ON5:” means turn on auxiliary output 5.

Auxiliaries may remain on in-definitely, until turned off with the “OFn:” command, or

can be timed off automatically. Timed off auxiliaries are selected using the “XT” commands. (See page 48, xt )

If the “Alarm Panel” mode flag is set (SS8=4), then turning on/off auxiliary 1 is used to

turn on/off the “panel”. Auxiliary 1 is not actually manipulated. For example turning on

the panel can be achieved by “ON:”, and turning off by “OF:”. The panel status can

be inspected with the “DS?” Command.

PA Panel Destinations (General) Default: 1

This command sets what default destinations panel alarms will be sent to. The syntax for

the “PA” command is the same as that for the “IN” command. (See in, page 28) For

example “PA=1” will cause all panel alarms to be sent to destination 1

Note: The “PA” setting can be overridden by settings of the “PD” command. See “PD”

command. pd

LT Location text Default: Blank



PC Pulse Count (for Alarm Panel Mode) Default: 0

This command sets the Pulse Count limit for Pulse Count zones to be used in conjunction

with the Alarm Panel Mode. The command syntax is “PC=4”. The value for this

command can be from 0 to 255.

PD Panel Destinations (Detailed) Default: X

This command optionally allows panel alarms to be categorized and sent to different

destinations. If this option is not used, then the “PA” setting is used as a default. The

syntax is the similar to the “IN” command, (See in, page 28) except that a number of

items are available, one for each type of panel alarm.

The table below shows how panel alarms are categorized, and the corresponding “PD” option:

Panel Event Contact ID

Message

Destinations

set by:

Not Categorized None of below PD1=

Opening 140X PD2=

Closing 340X PD3=

Emergency X10X PD4=

Fire X11X PD5=

Panic X12X PD6=

Burglary X13X PD7=

General X14X PD8=

24 Hr X15X PD9=

Supervisory X20X PD10=

Trouble X3XX PD11=

Disable X52X PD12=

Bypass X57X PD13=

Test X60X PD14=

Note that if “PA=X”, then panel events will only be sent if the corresponding “PDn” is set for that panel event type.

Example 1

Send all panel alarms to destination 1 (central station) except open/close.

Only send open/close to destination 2 (SMS to mobile phone).

“PA=1” Sets default panel destination to destination 1

“PD1=2,2” Set Opening and closing to be sent to destination 2 All other PD are “X”

Example 2



Only send Burglary Panel alarms to destination 1.

“PA=X” Default is send nothing

“PD7=1” Set Burglary to be sent to destination 1 All other PD are

“X”

PI Ping IP Address Default: N/A

This command is used to ping an IP address on a specified connection using the ICMP

echo command. The syntax of the command is “PI=a,b,c,d,e” where the IP address to ping is a.b.c.d. and the connection to use is determined by “e” as follows:

E = 0 Serial Port

E = 1 GPRS Connection

E = 2 PSTN Connection

E = 3 Ethernet Connection

The command will jump immediately to VR? , to allow the ping and its possible reply to be viewed.

PL Panel Link Time Default: 0

This command allows the FE3000 to transfer an incoming PSTN ring to the alarm panel

within a particular time window. The syntax is “PL=xxx” where xxx is the time in

minutes in which to accept an incoming call and transfer to the alarm panel. Note that

once connected, the caller can remain connected to the panel indefinitely unless the

FE3000 requires use of the PSTN line.

PM Panel Model Default: 0

Note: Multipath STU and Omnilink only

The Panel Model command allows the Multipath-IP Serial STU to map the inputs

reported by the alarm panel via the Securitel protocol to the correct Contact ID messages.

The syntax is “PM=X” where X is index selected for the attached alarm panel. A list of

the indexes and their associated alarm panel mappings are shown in the table below:

PM=0 Default (Concept 3000/4000)

PM=1 Concept 3000/4000, CIQ, NX

PM=2 Concept 2000

PM=3 Tecom

PM=4 Solution 16

PM=5 DSC

PN Panel Number Default: X

This command allows a default dial-up telephone number to be programmed that will be

used by the FE3000 when reporting to a Central Station using any dial-up style route. If



the panel number is un-programmed (default), then it will be replaced by the 1st phone

number used by the alarm panel on its first communication to the FE3000.

Example1: “PN=0397863415” (program panel number)

Example2: “PN=X” (clear panel number)

A 1.3 second pause after the first dialed digit can be selected by setting “SS2=3” ( See ss, page 41)

Note: Phone numbers programmed via the “TN” command may override the number

programmed via the PN command. (See tn, page45)

PP PABX Number Default: X

This command allows a single PABX digit to be defined that will be dialed prior to any

telephone number when using PSTN. A 1 second pause will occur after the dialing of the

PABX digit prior to dialing the telephone number.

PR Pulse Count Timer (for Alarm Panel Mode) Default: 0

This command sets the Pulse Count Timer for Pulse Count zones when used in

conjunction with the Alarm Panel Mode. The syntax for this command is “PR=15”

where the number value is the time in seconds that the Pulse Count Timer will run for.

The number value can be from 0 to 255.

PT Panel Test times Default: 60,10

This command sets how often the FE3000 will test the panel by triggering a test zone.

The syntax is “PT=x,y” where x is the time in minutes to test the panel if the panel is

considered off, and y is the time in minutes to test the panel if the panel is considered on.

The allowable times are between 0 and 255 minutes. If the time is set to 0 then no test

will be initiated.

For example “PT=60,10” will test the panel every hour whilst the panel is off and

every 10 minutes whilst the panel is on. “PT=0,5” will test the panel every 5 minutes if

the panel is considered on and will not test the panel whilst the panel is considered off.

Note: Any valid communication from the panel will re-start the test timer. Sending this

command will also trigger a test immediately.

Note: The Panel Test input must be programmed to a destination to trigger the auxiliary.

PV Polled Path Variables Default: See table below

This command is used to configure the poll time, ack time, count between information

packets, ack count and retry count for polled paths such as Ethernet & GPRS. The PV

command is only used with a Multipath-IP STU and is set by the monitoring station.

The PV command is:

Command Path Effected Parameter Replaces Default PV1 Gprs path_poll_time GT1 0

PV2 Gprs path_ack_time GT2 0



PV3 Gprs path_info_poll GT3 0

PV4 Gprs path_ack_count GT8 0

PV5 Gprs path_max_retry New Option 0

PV6 PSTN ISP path_poll_time GT1 0

PV7 PSTN ISP path_ack_time GT2 0

PV8 PSTN ISP path_info_poll GT3 0

PV9 PSTN ISP path_ack_count GT8 0

PV10 PSTN ISP path_max_retry New Option 0

PV11 Ethernet path_poll_time GT1 0

PV12 Ethernet path_ack_time GT2 0

PV13 Ethernet path_info_poll GT3 0

PV14 Ethernet path_ack_count GT8 0

PV15 Ethernet path_max_retry New Option 0

Parameter description:

Parameter Description Valid range Units path_poll_time Time between time reports. 5 to 255 Seconds

path_ack_time Time to wait for an ack for time reports and alarms. 1 to 255 Seconds

path_info_poll No. of time reports between info packets. 1 to 255 Packets

path_ack_count No. of time report acks for this path to be considered OK. 1 to 255 Ack Packets

path_max_retry No of retries for time reports. Once reached will send next time

report after path_poll_time after which stack will be restarted

(unless GPRS path within attach time in which case continues

to send at path_poll_time rate with no retries)

1 to 250 TR Packets

If GT1 != 0 then the operation is controlled by the GT command and the PV command is

ignored. If GT = 0, then:

• GT1,GT2,GT3 and GT8 are ignored

• PV sets the time report and retry logic variables per path.

• The number of retry acks is now programmable

• Number of retries for alarm packets remains fixed at 3

• All other GT commands work as before

RA Rings to answer Default: 15

This command sets the number of ring cadences the FE3000 requires before it will

answer the call and attempt a modem connect for remote FE3000 programming. The

syntax is “RA=n”, where n is the desired rings before answer. Setting “RA=0” will prevent the FE3000 from answering an incoming call. Setting RA to a number higher

than 20 will only allow the FE3000 to answer a call using the fax bypass logic.

RI Reset Inputs Default: N/A

This command can be used to reset various FE3000 system inputs from the alarm state

back to the sealed state. This command will also turn back on the Fail to Communicate

output (Aux1). Note that the RI command must be followed by an operator; e.g. RI=. The inputs affected by this command are listed in the table below:

Input Alarms when



Lost Alarms Alarm died/ killed

RF Problems RF route fails

PSTN Problems PSTN route fails

Net Problems Future Expansion

Ext Problems External Interface Fails

Batt Test Battery test fail

Panel Fail Panel test fails

Prog Chg. Future Expansion

NOTE: These inputs are also restored when the time report timer expires, or if a panel

opening is received.

RP Required Paths Default: X

This command is used to set tell the product which paths are required in order to accept

and event from the connected alarm panel. If any of the required paths are considered

available then an event being sent by the alarm panel will be accepted.

The following table shows the meaning of each of the options:

Option Description

RP=1 PSTN line voltage is good

RP=2 GSM has registration

RP=3 GPRS is communicating with MultipathIP Server

RP=4 Ethernet is communicating with MultipathIP Server

RP=5 to 8 Future expansion (do not use)

Multiple options can be set at once, for example if “RP=14” is set then the event from

the alarm panel will be accepted if either there is “Ethernet communications with the

MultipathIP Server” or the “PSTN line voltage is good”.

NOTE: This programming option is a global setting and affects all forms of alarm panel

communications.

RW Ring Wait Default: 0,0

This command is used to set the criteria the FE3000 uses to detect incoming ring signals.

It is defaulted to “RW=0,0” and should only be altered on advice from the manufacturer.

SD SMS Delay Default: 20

This command is used to delay the sending of the first SMS message, so that more alarm

messages can fit into a single SMS message. For example, if the average zone alarm was

followed by a restore typically 3 seconds later, then an SMS delay of 5 seconds would

mean that both the alarm and restore a sent at once, saving in the cost of sending SMS

messages. The syntax is “SD=ttt” where ttt is the delay time in 1/10ths of seconds (0 to

255). The default is 20 1/10ths of seconds = 2 seconds)



SF SMS Format Default: X

This command allows the SMS numbering system to be altered. As a default, an

international numbering system is adopted which allows SMS to be sent and received

globally. SMS numbers are entered in international format. This option allows SMS

numbers to be entered in other formats, e.g. a local or national format. This option should

only be altered on advice from the manufacturer. (This option is used as the “Type of

Address” field for SMS transmission, ETSI standard ETS 300 901)

SG System Contact ID Group Default: X

This command allows a Contact ID group (area) to be selected that will be used for all

FE3000 initiated system alarm reports. The default is “X” meaning that the group will

be “00”.

SN SMS Numbers Default: X

This command allows GSM mobile numbers to be programmed, which can be used to

send SMS alarms to. They can also be used to identify a user sending an SMS to the

FE3000 by recognizing the mobile phone used, and can be used as an alternative to a

password. The syntax is the same as “PN” above. There are 32 possible GSM mobile

numbers. SN1 is reserved for the Master user. SN2 is reserved for the Installer. SN3 &

SN4 are reserved for the monitoring company. SN5 to SN32 are for general users.

SMS Numbers must be programmed in international format, not including the “+”.

For example if the Australian mobile phone number was 0417890543 then you would

program “SN1=61417890543”. Note that 61 are the country code digits for Australia and the leading 0 has been dropped.

SO IPfast Server Options Default: X

This option allows the Multipath IPServer to configure selected options for the

Multipath-IP STU. This option cannot be altered by the installer.

SO= PABX Preferences

1 Allow Tx SMS (always clear for standard customers)

2 Allow Tx GSM (set on enrol)

3 Reserved

4 IPServer mode (set on enrol)

5 Prevent default when set

6 Only allow private key

7 Discard alarms (clear on enrol)

8 Restrict installer commands (set on enrol)



SP System Contact ID point Default: X

This command determines the first digit of Contact ID point to be used for all system

alarms generated by the FE3000. The default value is “9”, meaning the first system input

reports as 901, 902 etc. The syntax is “SP=p” where p is the desired starting point between 1 and 9. The number should be chosen in conjunction with panel programming.

The panel should not use any points that begin with the value above or else

confusion may result at the Central Station.



SS Set Special Options Default: 2,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,4

This command is used to set miscellaneous FE3000 preferences. The preferences are

divided into 9 groups (“SS1”= to “SS9=”) and each group has 8 preferences, each preference labeled “1” to “8”. A preference is turned on if the corresponding number is

present. For example, for the 8th group, “SS8=138” turns on preferences 1, 3 and 8.

The clear all preferences in a group, simply select “=X”. For example “SS3=X” turns off all 8 preferences for group 3.

The table below shows all the FE3000 Preferences:

NOTE: * = Set as a default # = Set as a default for GPRS IPfast.

SS1= PABX Preferences

1 Allow Re-trigger of unsealed system inputs with panel closings

not contactable (set the “Scanner comms fail” bit) when there is no GSM

registration. (Multipath-IP Serial STU only)

8 Time auxiliaries in 1 second increments.

ST Set time Default: N/A

This command can be used to set the FE3000 clock and calendar. This command is

generally not required, because the clock and calendar are automatically updated every

time an SMS message is received or by the IPFast server.

The syntax is “ST=hh,mm,ss,dd,tt,yy” where hh = the hour (0 to 23), mm = the

minute (0 to 59), ss = the second (0 to 59), dd = the day (1 to 31), tt = the month (1 to 12)

and yy = the year (00 to 97)

Note that the time/date stamp contained in an SMS message may not account for

daylight savings time correctly. This is network dependent.

SX Simulated SMS Default: N/A



This command allows a simulated SMS to be sent from the IPServer via the FE3000 to a

Concept alarm panel that is connected with the high level interface. The Concept alarm

panel does not know of any difference between this command and a real SMS. The

programming required in the Concept alarm panel is exactly the same, see the “GMS

comms task” for details.

The syntax for this command is:

SX=ttttttt|aaaaaaa and SX?

where tttttt is the originating phone number up to 16 decimal digits long

aaaaa is the ASCII text that is the commands to the Concept alarm panel

SX? is used to query an SMS that has been sent from the Concept alarm panel to the

FE3000. SMS messages from the Concept may occur in response to commands that have

been sent to it or alternatively may be generated independently. SX? can return one of

three responses:

SX=N indicates that there is no SMS messages to be read

SX=T indicates that there is an SMS queued to be sent to the Concept panel

SX= ttttttt|aaaaaaa is the SMS message from the Concept panel

For example: The Concept alarm panel has been programmed to allow Area control by

SMS. The name of Area 2 in the Concept alarm pane is “Factory”.

User sends SX=61421456852|01A2N

There is no response to this command from the FE3000

User sends SX?

FE3000 responds SX=61421456852|Factory now ON



TN Telephone Numbers Default: X

This command is used to program individual telephone numbers for various dial-up

routes that can be used in place of the general panel number. (See pn, page 35). When a

dial-up route is initiated, it will normally use one of the pre-programmed “TN” numbers.

If the relevant “TN” number is not programmed (default), then the “PN” number

described above will be used. There are between 12 and 32 numbers that can be

programmed, depending on model and version. The syntax is the same as for “PN” (See section on Routes on page 47 for more details, xa)

TP Panel Test Contact ID point Default: X

When using the panel test feature, the FE3000 will trigger an unused zone on the panel

via the Aux 2 output, to cause the panel to send a report to the FE3000. This command

sets the Contact ID point that is used by the test zone. For example “TP=004” means

that all reports with a Contact ID point of 004 will be treated as a test report from the

panel and will not be passed onto the Central Station.

Note that the test zone should be programmed in the panel to cause a silent report only to

be initiated. Usually the Contact ID point used will be the same as the Zone number, e.g.

Zone 4 would use Contact ID point 4; TP = 004

(Whenever this command is received by the FE3000, it will initiate a panel test by

triggering the panel test zone via auxiliary 2 (X2).)

TR Time report Default: 10,0,168

This command is used to setup the timing for an automatic time report generated by the

FE3000. The syntax is “TR=dd,hh,ii” where dd = day of the week to send the 1st report on (0 = Sunday, 1=Monday etc.), hh = the hour to send the 1st report at (0 to 23)

and ii = test report interval in hours (0 to 255)

If dd > 6 then the report will start today. If hh > 23 then the report will be sent sometime

in the next hour. If ii = 0 then test report is disabled.

The exact time that the time report is sent depends on the last two digits of the serial

number of the FE3000. The serial number determines the actual minute that the time

report will be sent. If the last two digits are between 0 and 59, then this is the minute that

the report will be sent. If the last two digits are greater than 59, then subtract 60 from the

last two digits to get the report minute.

For example:

“TR=0,1,168” in an FE3000 with the last 2 digits of the serial number as 39, sets a

time report to be triggered starting on a Sunday morning at 1.39 am and to be repeated



every week (168 hours). “TR=100,100,1” sets a time report to be triggered at the 39

minute of the next hours, then repeated every hour.

For the FE3000 to actually generate a time report, the time report input (IN7) has to be

also programmed to a destination. Usually the destination is set to 1. i.e. “IN7=1”

When a time report is ready to be sent, regardless of whether it is sent or not, the FE3000

will automatically seal selected system inputs. (See ri command on page 37).

When functioning as a MultipathIP STU, when a polled path is lost a time report will be

scheduled for the next hour. The time report will occur at the minute of the serial number

as described above. The time report will be transmitted via the first available route.

VP Validity period Default: 167,0

All SMS messages sent by the FE3000 have a maximum delivery time specified. If the

network does not deliver the message within this time, then the message will be

destroyed. (Note that the FE3000 has no way of knowing whether a message is delivered

or has been destroyed!). This command allows the maximum delivery time (also called

the validity period) to be selected. VP1=xxx allows the validity period for all SMS alarm

messages to be specified. VP2=xxx allows the validity period for all SMS reply messages

to be specified.

Entering a number from the table below chooses the actual validity period desired:

4 hours 47 5 days 171

8 hours 95 6 days 172

12hours 143 7 days 173



XA-XP Route Programming Default: See table below

This command allows up to 16 separate routes to be defined. Routes are used by

destinations (D1 to D4) to define how a destination is to be reached. For example, a

destination might be “Franks Monitoring Service”. A route used by this destination might

be “PSTN Contact ID”. Another route used by this destination might be “GSM Contact

ID”. Routes used in destinations are labeled “A” thru to “P”. To actually program a route,

the commands “XA=” to “XP=” are used. Each route has 3 items that can be

programmed in the following syntax:

“Xn=Type Index, Phone Index, Options”

where:

N

Is the route being programmed, “A” to “P”

Type

Index

This number sets what type of route this is, eg PSTN Contact ID

Phone

Index

This number determines what telephone number will be used for this route,

selected from either “TN” or “SN” numbers.

Options

This item allows certain format specific options to be set.

The table below shows all the available formats:

33 Ethernet IPfast Ignore 1 to 8 = Future Options

Note1: If the specified “TN” number is not programmed, then the FE3000 will use the “PN” number.



The table below shows the default programming for each of the routes:

Route Type Index Phone Index Options

XA 1 = PSTN Contact ID 1 = TN1 None

XB 1 = PSTN Contact ID 2 = TN2 None

XC 17 = GSM Contact ID 3 = TN3 None

XD 17 = GSM Contact ID 4 = TN4 None

XK 07 = PSTN via ISP 5 = TN5 None

XL 02 = PSTN CID+ 1 = TN1 None

XM 33 = Ethernet IPfast Ignore (uses IP3 & IP4) None

XT Auxiliary Timers Default: 0,0,0,0,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0

This command is used to define which auxiliaries will automatically turn off whenever

they are turned on via the “ON:” command. The syntax is “XTn=ttt” where n is the auxiliary you wish to turn off automatically (5 to 12) and ttt is the time. The table below

shows how the time is calculated:

Value Aux will turn off after:

0 Aux stays on till turned off (default)

1 to 51 Aux turns off in <value> * 5 seconds (maximum = 255 seconds)

52-255 Aux turns off in <value> - 47 minutes (maximum = 208 minutes)

Examples:

“XT5”=57 will turn off Aux 5 after 57 - 47 = 10 minutes

“XT7”=34 will turn off Aux 7 after 36 * 5 = 180 seconds (3 minutes)

Note that:

When minutes are selected (value > 51), the time can be up to 1 minute shorter.

When seconds are selected (value < 52), the time can be up to 2 seconds shorter.



ZA Zone processing for Alarm Panel Mode Default: X

This option allows zones of the FE3000 to be processed differently when operating in

“Alarm Panel Mode”.

ZAn= Zone Alarm Panel Configuration

1 Zone is a Delay Zone and can trigger the entry timer. This Zone is also not

processed during the Exit delay.

2 Zone is processed 24 hours

3 Zone will be auto-isolated if not sealed during arming

4 Zone will deny arming of the FE3000 alarm panel when not sealed

5 Zone is silent (will not trigger Siren or Strobe)

6 Zone is a Handover Zone and is not processed during the entry or exit delays.

7 Zone is a Pulse Count zone.

8 Reserved

This command is made up of preferences from 1 to 8. This means that by sending

“ZA3=14” will set the 1 and 4 preferences and clear all of the other preferences. NOTE: These options are only configurable for Zones 1 to 10.

ZC Zone CID Messages Default: X

This command allows an optional Contact ID message to be programmed per FE3000

zone. The command syntax is “ZCn=xyz”, where n is the zone number (1 to 12) and

xyz is the 3 digit contact ID message number to be used for that zone. For example

“ZC5=117” will cause all Contact ID reports for zone 5 to use the message number

117 (“FIRE – Flame Detector. If the zone Contact ID message is not programmed, then

the FE3000 will use the default message 140 (“ALARM – General”).

ZD Zone Delay Default: 0,0


This command sets an optional delay to be applied to each zone from when an alarm

condition is detected until it is reported. The command syntax is “ZDn=ddd”, where n is the zone number (1 to 2) and ddd is the delay in minutes, up to a maximum of 255

minutes. For example “ZD2=30” will require an alarm condition to be present on zone

2 for 30 minutes before it is reported. With “ZD2=0,0” (default), the minimum delay

from the alarm condition to triggering a report is between 7 and 14 seconds.



ZI Zone Isolate Default: N/A

This option allows zones to be isolated when the FE3000 is in Alarm Panel Mode. This

command can be sent from either RS232 that is directly connected to the FE3000 or from

a remote source. The syntax for this command is “ZIn=1” to isolate the zone and

“ZIn=X” to de-isolate the zone (where n is the zone number). The isolate status of the

zone can also be queried by the command “ZIn?”. NOTE: Disarming the FE3000 Alarm Panel will de-isolated all isolated zones and their

current state will be reported.

NOTE: These options are only configurable for Zones 1 to 10.

ZS Zone Switch Point Default: 60,60


This command sets the switch point for each of the zones that will determine the alarm

condition. If the zone voltage is above the switch point then the zone is in the alarm

condition. If the zone voltage is below the switch point then the zone input is sealed. The

switch point is programmed between 1.0 and 13.0 volts in 0.1 volt increments, but during

entry the decimal point is not entered. e.g. “ZS2=37” sets the trigger point for zone 2 to be 3.7 volts.

(See also the SS9 option on how to reverse the above logic, i.e. if the zone voltage is

above the switch point the zone is sealed.)

ZT Zone Text Default: X

This command sets optional text that can used to describe each of the 12 system zones

when reported in SMS alarm messages. The command syntax is “ZTn=text”, where n is the zone number (1 to 12) and text is the desired text up to 16 characters long. For

example “ZT5=Factory Fire” will cause any SMS alarm reports from zone 5 on the

FE3000 to use the text “Factory Fire”. If the zone text is left blank, then the FE3000 will

use the text “Zone nn”, where nn is the zone number.



History and Review Log Syntax

The syntax of the review and history information is shown below:

“MMM mm HH:MM:SS 11223344 <message>” for review log

“MMM mm HH:MM:SS 11 <message>” for history log

where:

• MMM = Month (Jan, Feb etc)

• mm= day of the month

• HH:MM:SS = hour, minute and second

• 11 = event detail 1 (hex number)




• <message> = brief description of event

Listed in the table below are all the possible messages for the review log. Item marked

with an “H” are also saved to the history log:

Alarm Panel Mode (FE3K-Premier only)

See FE3000 Alarm Panel Mode.doc

FE3000 Interface Operation.

Rather than connect an external alarm panel to the FE3000 via the panel lead, the FE3000

can be connected to intelligent alarm panels such as the C3000/C4000 via an RS232 lead.

This allows a more sophisticated functionality, in particular the way SMS works.

For the C3000/C4000 panels SMS can be used to:

� Turn on/off a home auxiliary.

� Turn on a home auxiliary for a specified time in minutes.

� Turn on a home auxiliary for a specified time in seconds.

� Turn on/off an area.

� Request the current name and state of any 6 home auxiliaries.

� Request the current name and state of any 6 areas.

� Isolate/Restore a zone.

� Discard pending SMS messages waiting to be sent.

� Request a short help message

The FE3000 can no longer be accessed for programming via SMS as all SMS messages

are passed to the alarm panel for processing. Remote access can still be made however

via a PSTN data call.

See Concept alarm panel documentation for further details.
