When using cellular backup with Napco panels I always use the 3008
relay panel. This way I can send different siganls for fire, burg,
panic, duress, and telephone failure.
I also trip the 3200 if the cell fails too.

If you're going to use the 3008 make sure you get the unit in the metal
box. You can order it board only, but it just doesn't fit in the 3200
panel along with everything else.
