6.1.2 SDI RAM Parameters

This section allows you to configure Remote Account Manager (RAM) parameters when communicating over a

private Local Area or Wide Area Network (LAN/WAN). To allow RAM IV to communicate to a panel over a Local

or Wide Area Network, a D9133TTL-E SDI-Ethernet Bi-directional Interface module or a D9133TTL-TR SDI-

Token Ring Interface module and RAM IV, version 2.8 or higher, will be required. The computer that RAM IV is

installed on must also have a network card. See your Information Systems’ administrator for network

requirements. In addition this section allows you to

a. Define the RAM parameters necessary to communicate via an external modem that can be

connected to a D9133 Serial Interface Module or

b. Allow for local programming via a D9133 Serial Interface Module.

Although it is not listed in this section, RAM IV still checks for the RAM Passcode (see RAM Parameters),

Datalock Code and the panel type to determine if this RAM session should continue.

Enable SDI RAM

Default: No

Selections: Yes or No

This item determines if the panel will allow RAM IV communications over the SDI bus. This item must be set to

Yes if you plan on using the External Modem configuration, a private Local or Wide Area Network, or local RAM

IV programming.

Yes Enable RAM sessions over the SDI bus. If set to YES, the RAM Line Monitor is always

ready.

No Do not enable RAM sessions over the SDI bus.

Note: If the reset pin is in the locked position, local RAM IV programming is still allowed even if this prompt is set to No.

Call Back Enabled

Default: No

Selections: Yes or No

Using this function allows the panel, after it has verified the RAM passcode, to provide an additional level of

security by ending the SDI RAM session and then reconnecting with RAM using

a) The RAM IP Address (Enable Ext Modem must be set to No) or

b) The RAM Dial String (Enable Ext Modem must be set to Yes)

before allowing any upload or download.

Yes When the panel hears the proper RAM password (see RAM Passcode in RAM

Parameters it ends the SDI RAM session and then attempts to reconnect to RAM using

the RAM IP Address if Enable Ext Modem is set to No. If Enable Ext Modem is set to

Yes, the panel will attempt to re-establish communication with RAM using the RAM Dial

String. This ensures that the panel only communicates with valid RAM units.

No The SDI RAM session is initiated immediately; no ‘call back’ is required. The panel can

engage in SDI RAM sessions regardless of originating location.
