Sorry about the delay to respond.  I am working my email off 2
computers.  I did find the Firelite MS-5510 ? Its on the computer at the
office.  The backup is not the answer, as I would be receiving double
reporting on the alarms during inspections.  I found an entry to send
the daily test to the second phone number.  I am going to turn that off
the next time we are there.  If this is still on the ng, I will respind
with the results.  The biggie is the notifier to Firelite link.

thanks,
