[1] Ethernet Receiver 1 Supervised
Default (OFF)
(TL255/TL2553G only).
ON: Ethernet Receiver 1 will be supervised and heartbeats will be sent to Ethernet Receiver 1 based on the supervision interval pro-
grammed in Section [004].
OFF: Ethernet Receiver 1 will not be supervised. When disabled, heartbeat 1 is sent to the Ethernet receiver once every hour, regard-
less of supervision type (heartbeat 1 or 2). The heartbeat is resent every 5 seconds until ACK. If no event or heartbeat ACK is received
after (Receiver Supervision Interval + 75 seconds), Supervisory trouble is indicated.(8 flashes on yellow trouble LED). (
Author’s Note:
AH>MM: “Wherever we have text like this: “
Supervisory trouble is indicated. (8 flashes on yellow trouble LED).” , it is to be replaced with new text
TBD> For now this text is just a ‘placeholder’. mm-0715-0855
)
NOTE: Ethernet Receiver 2 can not be supervised.
[2] Cellular Receiver 1 Supervised (
Author’s Note: m/n-0707-1627:FB,MM “We might replace need to use words Radio/Wireless instead of across entire docu-
ment. mm-0715-1526
)
Default (OFF)
ON: Cellular Receiver 1 will be supervised and heartbeats will be sent to Cellular Receiver 1 based on the supervision interval pro-
grammed in Section [004]. If ACK to heartbeat is not received, it is retransmitted every 5 seconds. Failure to ACK 2 consecutive heart-
beats will reset the radio.
OFF: Cellular Receiver 1 will not be supervised. When disabled, heartbeat is not sent to the receiver. Supervisory trouble is indicated.
(8 flashes on yellow trouble LED). (Author’s Note: See mm-0715-0855 above, Pg-11.)
NOTE: Cellular Receiver 2 can not be supervised.
[3] Supervision Type
Default (OFF)
ON: Heartbeat 1 (Commercial Supervision). This supervision type is suitable for applications where swap detection is required on the
supervisory packet.
OFF: Heartbeat 2 (Residential Supervision). This supervision type is suitable for applications where supervision of the communication
path to the receiver is required. (no swap detection).
NOTE: Commercial supervision is more data intensive than residential supervision and should only be used when required to meet the
approval for the installation.
[4] Wireless Primary
Default (OFF - TL255/TL2553G) (ON - 3G2055)
ON: Cellular channel is the primary path. Ethernet channel is the secondary path, if it exists.
OFF: Ethernet channel is the primary path in a dual Communicator. Cellular channel is the secondary path.
[5] Redundant Communications
Default (OFF) (TL2553G only)
ON: Events will be communicated to Ethernet Receiver 1 and Cellular Receiver 1 at the same time. Events will be communicated to
Ethernet Receiver 2 and Cellular Receiver 2 at the same time. As long as the event is successfully communicated to 1 of the 2 paths
(Ethernet or Cellular) the Communicator will move on to the next event.
NOTE: Do not configure Ethernet Receiver 1 and Cellular Receiver 1 to communicate using a common receiver configuration (i.e.,
identical Receiver IP address and Receiver Remote Port). OFF: Events will be communicated to the receivers individually.Tog-
gle should be OFF when guaranteed message delivery to both receivers is required.
[6] Remote Firmware Upgrade
Default (ON)
ON: The Communicator module firmware can be remotely upgraded using the Ethernet/Cellular paths.
OFF: The Communicator module firmware can not be remotely upgraded. Local firmware upgrade is still possible.
[7] Alternate Test Transmissions
Default (OFF).
ON: When the periodic test transmission interval occurs, the test transmission will alternate between being sent to the primary and sec-
ondary receivers with each test transmission interval.
OFF: When the periodic test transmission interval occurs, the test transmission will be sent to the programmed receivers, based on the
settings of the periodic test transmission reporting codes.
[8] Cellular Low Signal Trouble.
Default (OFF)
This option masks the Low Signal trouble from the Cellular trouble event (5 flashes on Yellow Trouble LED).
ON: A Cellular Trouble event (5 flashes) is transmitted to receiver when the radio signal level falls below threshold level (average CSQ
level is 5 or less).
OFF: A Cellular Trouble event (5 flashes) is not transmitted to receiver when the radio signal level falls below threshold level (average
CSQ level is 5 or less). (
