Support
- Does the SEM support multiple partitions?
- Yes. The SEM comes with multiple partition support, including the ability to arm and disarm partitions remotely.
- Is the SEM compatible with DLS?
- DLS is not supported. The SEM cannot be used as a DLS communicator. DLS panel programming changes via another communication pathway (PC Link, POTS, etc.) is not captured by the SEM until the system is power cycled.

- No. There aren’t any required settings that need to be changed. However, we do recommend changing the following settings if the system was previously communicating over the phone line.
- Disable Telco Line Monitoring (section 015, option 7)
- Remove the phone numbers (section 301-303)
- Disable Phone Line Failure (section 382 option 5)
- Does the SEM support Cross Zones?
- No. The SEM does not support the Cross Zone attribute. The SEM does not report the Cross Zone event to the monitoring station.
