Non Compatible Report Setting: GSM report. <<NNOOTTEE>>  CSV IP/GPRS reporting is only compatible with Direct Handshake Authentication with ARC.  PSTN to GSM Virtual Channel (GSM Reporting): This option is for GSM digital or voice reporting only. Upon receiving the report from PSTN panel, CTC-1908M will dial to the ARC. Upon successful connection, CTC-1908M will forward the digital event code, or voice message received from PSTN panel. If the ARC personnel choose to open a Two-way communication channel, CTC-1908M will serve as the bridge between ARC and PSTN panel for the Two-way communication. (Factory Default) Compatible Report Setting: GSM report set to Group 1. Non Compatible Report Setting: IP/GPRS/SMS report. <<NNOOTTEE>>  When PSTN to GSM Virtual Channel is selected and no report setting is entered, CTC-1908M will automatically forward the report received from PSTN Control Panel using the same telephone number and account number used by PSTN Control Panel. 5.4.2. Report Setting The Report Setting is for you to program the report destinations. When programming Report Setting, please refer to ARC Connection Setting above to determine the report format you should use.  Report Format:  IP reporting in CID format: (CTC-1908M-8 (EX)) Reporting destination format: ip://Account@Server IP:Port/CID For Example: ip://6543@59.124.123.22:8765/CID  GPRS reporting in CID format: Reporting destination format: gprs://Account@Server IP:Port/CID For Example: gprs://6543@59.124.123.22:8765/CID  IP reporting in SIA format: (CTC-1908M-8 (EX)) Reporting destination format: ip://Account@Server IP:Port/SIA For Example: ip://6543@59.124.123.22:8765/SIA  GPRS reporting in SIA format:
14Reporting destination format: gprs://Account@Server IP:Port/SIA For Example: gprs://6543@59.124.123.22:8765/SIA  IP reporting in CSV format: (CTC-1908M-8 (EX)) Reporting destination format: ip://Account@Server IP:Port/CSV For Example: ip://6543@59.124.123.22:8765/CSV  GPRS reporting in CSV format: Reporting destination format: gprs://Account@Server IP:Port/CSV For Example: gprs://6543@59.124.123.22:8765/CSV  SMS reporting in CID format: Reporting destination format: sms://Account@mobile number/CID For Example: sms://1234@0926064587/CID  SMS reporting in SIA format: Reporting destination format: sms://Account@mobile number/SIA For Example: sms://1234@0926064587/SIA  GSM Digital or Voice report: Reporting destination format: gsm://Account@telephone number For Example: gsm://1234@0926064587 <<NNOOTTEE>>  The account number entered in the report setting is only for sending Auto Check-in report for CTC-1908M. For any events received from the PSTN panel, the report will be sent with PSTN panel account number For example: If the report setting is set to gprs://0001@59.124.123.66:50123/CID. When CTC-1908M sends an Auto Check-in report, the event will be reported with account number of 0001. However if the PSTN panel sends a report, the report will be sent with the account number programmed in the PSTN panel instead.  Group: Select a group number for the report destination. Multiple Group setting is only applicable when ARC Connection Setting is set to Store and Forward. For Direct Handshake Authentication with ARC, use only Group 1. For PSTN to GSM Virtual Channel, use only Group 1 for forwarding report from PSTN panel or Two-way communication use Group 2~5 for CTC-1908M’s own status reporting. Reporting sequence goes from Group 1  Group 2  Group 3  Group 4  Group 5. Destinations assigned to Group 1 will be reported to first, those assigned to Group 2 will be reported to next, and the like. <<NNOOTTEE>>  Each group can have more than one reporting destination. If one group has multiple destinations, and reporting to one of them is successful, CTC-1908M will consider reporting to this group successful and move on to the next group without trying rest of the reporting destinations. For example, if Group 1 has 3 reporting destinations, when reporting to the first destination is successful, CTC-1908M will move on to Group 2 without trying rest of the 2 reporting destinations in Group 1.
15 The reporting will go through a group’s reporting destinations according to the numerical sequence to which the phone numbers are assigned. For example, when phone numbers 4 and 8 are assigned to Group 2, the reporting will dial phone number 4 first and then 8.  If reporting to all destination in a group fails, CTC-1908M will retry reporting to the group for a maximum of 3 times before moving on to the next group.  One complete round of report means going from Group 1  Group 2  Group 3  Group 4  ….. and going through all the reporting groups. If one complete round of report has been completed and no reporting destination could be reached successfully, CTC-1908M will retry the report until one destination has been reached successfully, then stop reporting. 5.4.3.
