Radio Fail to Communicate (GSM, Cellular, Radio)

Radio Fail to Communicate (GSM, Cellular, Radio)

A GSM Fail to Communicate indicates that the alarm panel has tried to send a signal to the Monitoring Center via the cellular phone network and was unable to send the signal.

If you have a back-up system then this signal was sent via the back-up system as an advisory alarm event, if the back-up system was to fail then we will not get any further alarm signals.

If the GSM is the only method of communication then this signal is indicating that the system was unable to communicate but has now re-established communications. If this signal becomes repetitive then you might have to look at changing phone service providers.
