[003] Ethernet Gateway IP Address
Default (000.000.000.000)
Enter the Ethernet Gateway IP address of the Communicator. The gateway IP addressis required when a router is used on the
local network to reach the destination IP address specified in Section [001]. Format is 4 fields, each field is a 3 digit decimal
number. Valid range: 000-255.
NOTE: If DHCP is enabled, the DHCP Server will assign the Gateway IP address for this Section and the programmed value
will be ignored.
[004] Receiver Supervision Interval
Default (0087/135)
When receiver supervision is enabled (ON) in Section [005] Toggle Option [3], the unit sends heartbeats to Ethernet Receiver
1 or Cellular Receiver 1 to test the communications path. Use this Section to set the interval time (in seconds) when heartbeats
will be sent to the receivers. Valid range 000A-FFFF seconds. If the programmed value is less than (000A/10) seconds, super-
vision is disabled.
l
Receiver Window: This is the supervision timeout that must be configured at the central station receiver.
l
Recommended Values: This is the recommended heartbeat interval that should be programmed into the Communicator.
l For ULC installations, the Daily test transmission must be enabled over each available communication channel Sections
[125] and [225]. When programming with Connect24, the recommended intervals will be programmed automatically when
the required window is selected.
[005] System Toggle Options
[1] Ethernet Receiver 1 Supervised
Default (OFF)
(TL2553G(R)-E only).
ON: Ethernet Receiver 1 will be supervised and heartbeats will be sent to Ethernet Receiver 1 based on the supervision inter-
val programmed in Section [004].
OFF: Ethernet Receiver 1 will not be supervised. When disabled, heartbeat 1 is sent to the Ethernet receiver once every hour,
regardless 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.
NOTE: Ethernet Receiver 2 can not be supervised.
[2] Cellular Receiver 1 Supervised
Default (OFF)
ON: Cellular Receiver 1 will be supervised and heartbeats will be sent to Cellular Receiver 1 based on the supervision interval
programmed in Section [004]. If ACK to heartbeat is not received, it is retransmitted every 5 seconds. Failure to ACK 2 con-
secutive heartbeats 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.
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 com-
munication 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] Primary Path
Default (OFF - TL2553G(R)-E) (ON - 3G2055(R)-E)
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(R)-E only)
ON: Events will be communicated to Ethernet Receiver 1 and Cellular Receiver 1 at the same time. Events will be com-
municated 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 nextevent.
NOTE: Do not configure Ethernet Receiver 1 and Cellular Receiver 1 to communicate using a common receiver configuration
(i.e., identical Receiver IP addressand Receiver Remote Port). OFF:Eventswill be communicated to the receivers indi-
vidually.Toggle 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).
