How to Configure the Remote Alarm Host Information
When an alarm is triggered the Digital Sprite 2 will send a message via the serial port or over
the network using PPP.
This section identifies the details of the receiving station and the route the message will take.
When using the Ethernet network to transmit the alarm message all configuration for the remote
receiving station can be carried out using the web interface, to enable PPP via a modem the
‘profiles’ (\etc\profiles) file will need to be edited.
To configure the ’profiles’ file:
1. Using an FTP client application connect to the Digital Sprite 2.
2. Locate the \etc directory and expand.
3. Locate the profiles file.
4. Select open/view/edit (depending on the application) to open the file for editing.
5. The profile information will be displayed, enter the information regarding the modem link;
Username (& Profile Label), Password, Port, Phone No, IP Address Range, Subnet Mask.
The port options available are:
PPP_Link2 = Serial 2
PPP_Link2 = Serial 1
Ether = Ethernet
Note: The port option is case sensitive, entering the information incorrectly will result
in the function not operating. It is recommended that Serial 2 be used for PPP for the
serial options as Serial 1 is by default set as Debug and this would still enable serial
communication with the unit.
