Re: Napco GEM3200 Reporting problem

["Robert L Bass" <noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just set it for Pager and you'll be fine.  The panel will
dial the number and send DTMF tones as though it was talking
to a real pager. After a few seconds the panel will hang up.
There won't be a trouble condition any more.

If you need help with Napco software, give me a call.  I
don't charge for help programming - it's too much fun... :^)

No sir, sends the correct signals, each once, hangs up,
throws a
trouble, then momentarily picks up the line and re-hangs up.
Doesn't
attempt to re-send.
