I've installed a Veritas R8+ and want to use the communicator channels with a GSM dialler from Control Freq:

I've been emailing Texecom but their tech help isn't familiar with the Control Freq unit. What I want to do is receive SMS notification if the alarm is triggered at the site. No problem, I connected term 3 (intruder) to the GSM alarm terminal and it works.
What I'd like to do now is use the phone function to call back to site and reset/unset/set the alarm and receive confirmation of the status. Texe advise to use a spare zone as a keyswitch to set/unset and I see from the manual (p23) that after an activation, the next keyswitch op will enter recall, the next reset to unset. Presumably the third toggle then sets it again.
The problem is doing this by phoning in and cycling the relay output is fine but it would be easy to get lost as to the current state of the alarm. I was trying to get a better description of the other comm channels and their function but Texe have only provided basic answers.
What happens on the set/unset terminal 4? Is is a latching function, ie open is unset/0v latched is set or does it toggle with momentary switching?
What happens on term 8 "confirmed"? Is this a latching acknowledgement of the alarm state that I need?
Any other advice how to remotely cancel an intruder alarm, unset and then reset the alarm all through a GSM controlled in/out relay box? Control Freq do multi channel units so there is no problem with shortage of channels.
TIA!
