Function Description
Primary Host This is the IP address or name of the initial host that the unit will
transmit an alarm message to.
Secondary Host If the unit is unable to contact the primary host then it is possible
to identify an alternative route and a secondary host. If there is
only one alarm receiving IP address, you must enter the details in
both the primary and secondary connection settings.
Prole This is the medium that the unit will use to make the connection to
the primary or secondary host.
Note: If the connection is via the serial port the prole will be the
username congured in the ‘proles’ le in the \etc directory on
the unit.
Public (NAT) IP Address This is public IP (or domain name) for a unit connected to the
Internet via a NAT Router or Firewall. This eld should be left
blank if NAT is not used e.g. on a private network.
Video Server Port (port fwding) This eld allows the ARC to connect to the unit through a router
that is using port forwarding e.g. if the video server does not
appear on port 80 (HTTP) to the external network.
Unit Alarm Name This is the name that will be presented to the remote alarm
viewing application and therefore should have some signicance
to the Operator. This name must match the dened folder name in
the Viewer PC folder tree.
Remote Alarm Reporting This must be enabled for the unit to automatically connect on
alarm, it must also be enabled in the Alarm Zone option.
Remote Camfail Reporting If the unit identies camera failure on any of the inputs, enabling
this option will force the unit to connect to the remote alarm
station.
Remote Tamper Reporting The unit supports End Of Line for the onboard alarm inputs, if
these have been enabled it is possible to identify that the alarms
have been tampered with, when this occurs enabling this option
will force the DS2 to send a message to a remote station to
identify alarm tamper.
