Use the Add to list button to place details of up to five sites on the Call List. All entries will be
subject to the Connection Attempts and Connection Separation values.
Connection Attempts
Serial Connection Options:0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Ethernet Connection Options:0 - 100
Factory Default: 2
Use the drop-down list to select how many times ADPRO FastTx will try to contact each number
in the list before moving on to the next number. The maximum is 100 for Ethernet or 5 for serial
communications.
Note: Entering a value of ‘0’ will stop any attempt to connect.
Connection Separation (seconds)
Options: <value in seconds> Range 5 to 300
Factory Default: 5
Connection Separation is the time in seconds to wait between each call attempt (5 - 300
seconds). The Connection Separation time starts from the end of the last Connection Attempt
and can be set in 1-second increments. It is important that the chosen value takes into account
any delays introduced by the network itself or routers, gateways etc.
Note: When all addresses or telephone numbers in the list have been tried and no
successful connection has been made, the Alarm Event is held until a subsequent
alarm event initiates another connection attempt. ADPRO FastTx can store at least
six alarm events with images before connection. After connection is made images
will be sent with alarms once the stored alarms have been sent. An exception to this
are Duress alarms, which will still have associated images sent.
Backup Communications
Options: None, Ethernet, Serial Communications 1, Serial Communications 2
Selects an alternative (backup) communications path and Call List to be used if none of the
addresses or telephone numbers entered in the primary call list can be contacted.
The addresses (or numbers) to be used by either Ethernet or Serial Communications ports are
entered in a similar way to the primary list.
Note: Selecting the option None will disable any backup Call List and the Configure
button will be unavailable.
4.3.8 Connected Equipment
The Connected Equipment menu provides a number of sub-menus to configure the settings
that the ADPRO FastTx will use when interacting with external equipment such as video
cameras, microphones/speakers, alarm inputs and control output devices as well as the local
monitor and alarm relay contacts.
