[. . . ] Sur-Gard receivers normally use a speed of 9600, 7 data bits, even parity and one stop bit. Radionics 6500 respectively use 1200, 7, even and 2, for the said parameters. The example given below shows these parameters configured at speed 1200, 7 data bits, even parity and 2 stop bits. PRIMARY PRIMARY PRIMARY PRIMARY ARLY-1 ARLY-1 ARLY-1 ARLY-1 Cfg>serial-parameters Cfg>serial-parameters Cfg>serial-parameters Cfg>serial-parameters speed 1200 data-bits 7 parity even stop-bits 2 Valid values for speed are from 300 to 115200. Communication parameters with the printer Connection to the printer is carried out through an asynchronous serial port. So the communication works correctly, both ends (the VisorALARM PLUS 2U and the printer) must have the same configuration in the serial line. Parameters requiring configuration are: · Speed: common values are 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200. · Parity Type: Even, odd or none VISOR ALARM ­ Configuration III - 30 Doc. DM374-I Ver. 1. 0 · Number of stop bits: 1 or 2 Check the printer manual to find out which parameters should be configured for your specific printer model. Below you can see an example configuring these parameters: speed 9600, 8 data bits, without parity and 1 stop bit. PRIMARY PRIMARY PRIMARY PRIMARY SEPI-serial0/1 SEPI-serial0/1 SEPI-serial0/1 SEPI-serial0/1 Cfg>serial-parameters Cfg>serial-parameters Cfg>serial-parameters Cfg>serial-parameters speed 9600 data-bits 8 parity none stop-bits 1 Values valid for speed are from 300 to 115200. 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. [. . . ] This password is used both for connections via the console as well as via telnet. Make sure the administration staff at the Central Station both know it and keep it in a safe place for future use. · · VISORALARM - Appendices IV - 66 Doc. DM374-I Ver. 1. 0 · · · · Configure the `link-test-timer' parameter for both the main receiver and the backup to a value between 60 and 200 seconds. It is essential that you have a spare device thus permitting you to substitute the VisorALARM in a maximum period of time of 30 minutes. 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. [. . . ]
