For parity, "even", "odd" or "none" and finally for the stop bits 1 or 2. 5. 4. Communicating with the mIP/IPDACTs Another aspect requiring configuration is the communication between the VisorALARM PLUS 2U and the mIP/IPDACTs. The parameters requiring configuration are as follows: · VisorALARM PLUS 2U UDP port to which the mIP/IPDACTs send alarms and supervision traffic. · Set time period to assume an mIP/IPDACT is "lost": if after this configured time, supervision traffic is not received from an mIP/IPDACT, an alarm (whose code is configurable) is sent to the automation server as there is a probable communication problem with the said mIP/IPDACT. It is essential that this time is greater than the time between mIP/IPDACT retries to those providing the service in order to avoid `false' alarms. IP address to check VisorALARM PLUS 2U IP connectivity: the device sends ICMP echo packets to the configured address. In cases where responses are not received, IP connection is considered lost and the device notifies the automation server through an event (whose code is configurable). mIP/IPDACT supervision is cancelled until connectivity is recovered to avoid loss of connectivity alarms being sent by each registered mIP/IPDACT. Additionally, you need to configure how often the connectivity should be polled. Use the following command to configure the UDP port: PRIMARY ARLY-1 Cfg>supervision port 1234 PRIMARY ARLY-1 Cfg> · The following command configures the address to poll the IP connectivity and the polling interval: PRIMARY ARLY-1 Cfg>monitor-ip-addr 213. 4. 21. 187 rate 30 PRIMARY ARLY-1 Cfg> 5. 5. Network Backup Parameters Network backup is the possibility of the mIP/IPDACT having a second receiver to send alarms to and keep-alive polls. From the VisorALARM PLUS 2U point of view, network backup consists of two devices, one configured as main and the other as secondary or backup. Both devices should have different gateways and if possible different Internet access providers. In this way, the possible problems of communications between the two devices are isolated. Use the following syntax to configure each of the backup parameters: VISOR ALARM ­ Configuration III - 31 Doc. DM374-I Ver. 1. 0 PRIMARY ARLY-1 Cfg> backup-alarm-receiver option value The available options are as follows: · type: Defines the type of VisorALARM PLUS 2U. This can be main, secondary (backup) or maintenance. The mIP/IPDACT will always try and send alarms to the VisorALARM PLUS 2U configured as main. If the alarms do not reach this device, the mIP/IPDACT will send them to the backup device. Anyway, alarms are also sent to the maintenance receiver if it is configured. Once the type of VisorALARM PLUS 2U has been defined, the S LED will light up in green on the main and maintenance, and in yellow on the backup. · address-main: This is the main VisorALARM PLUS 2U public address. [. . . ] To do this, it is vital you have a backup copy of the VisorALARM SmartCard so when this is inserted into the substitute device, the configuration is identical to the original device. Configure the `automation-software-required' option. In these types of installations, the homologated panels that can be connected to a VisorALARM through an mIP device are as follows: § DSC POWER 832/864 § VISTA-50P and VISTA50PUL VISORALARM - Appendices IV - 67 Doc. DM374-I Ver. 1. 0 5. Alarm printing format The format to print using 40 columns in the VisorALARM PLUS 2U includes the following fields: MM/DD hh:mm:ss Date and time of the event AAAA: Account code P: Qualificator, E= New event or opening; R=Restoration or closing; P=Previous event CCC: Type of event and code for this XX: Number of group or partition.
