Dedicated Micros Page 55
There are two modes of configuration depending on the route of the alarm message. For
Ethernet the system can be configured wholly using the web interface pages, when using the
modem link, also referred to as PPP (Point to Point Protocol) then it is necessary to edit the
‘profile’ file within the \etc directory of the Digital Sprite 2.
At this stage it is presumed that the Digital Sprite 2; is installed with a modem connected to a
serial port and/or is connected to the Ethernet network and has been allocated an IP address
but the serial port has not been enabled for PPP.
This section will be separated into:
Enabling PPP for dialling into the Digital Sprite 2
Enabling PPP and identifying specific modems for dial up
Configuring Alarm/VMD Reporting via the web and editing the profile.ini file
How to Enable and Configure PPP via Serial Port
The Digital Sprite 2 supports PPP via serial connectivity and also over the
network connection. The following identifies the parameters that require
configuration to allow a PPP connection to be made via the serial interface.
To enable PPP and allocate a modem:
1. Select System -> Serial Ports & Telemetry.
2. Using the drop down list on the associated Communication port (Serial 1 or 2) select PPP.
3. Select the relevant modem from the Modem/TA drop down list, if your modem is not
supported select generic.
Supported Modems
Note: PPP Link 1 is allocated to Serial 1 for dial out on alarm and PPP Link 2 is
allocated to Serial 2 for dial in.
Note: Auto detect will only auto detect the modems the Digital Sprite 2 recognises.
