RENO Option for Insight
Description
The RENO® (Remote Notification
Option) for Insight
allows enunciation of Insight
Alarm, Status, and System Event information to
various notification devices such as alphanumeric
pagers, numeric pagers, e-mail, and phones using
voice or SMS (Short Message Service). RENO
enables mobility for facility operators to receive their
building automation system alarms without restricting
them to dedic ated Insight workstations.
Features of the RENO Option are:
Notification of both native APOGEE and
integrated system points such as Fire and Life
Safety
Notification for both Standard and Enhanced
Alarming points
Notification for point status (for example, Failed)
Message Optimization
Multiple notification devices per contact
Notification Device Scheduling
Group Notification
Contact notification escalation lists
Manual Notification on-the-fly
System heartbeat
Support for any TAP-compliant (Telelocator
Alphanumeric Protocol) paging Service
Providers
Direct Serial Connection to TAP-compliant
Paging Systems
RENO – Remote Notification
Requires Insight 3.12 or later.
Uses existing Insight alarming information.
Requires at least one dedicated analog phone
line and modem for notification dial-out (for
numeric and alphanumeric paging, and SMS).
Runs as a Windows Service, so RENO operates
regardless if an operator is logged-on to the
Insight workstation.
Optional feature to stop or enunciate notification
using phone call requires an additional phone
line, Dialogic Telephony card and text-to-s peech
software.

Notification Messages
RENO allows you to configure the level of detail, from
concise to verbose, in the alarm messages sent to
each contact person. For example, a small numerical
message is defined for a simpl e numeric pager, while
a more detailed message with point name, alarm
status, value, time of alarm, and enhanced alarm
message are sent to another contact’s e-mail. A user-
defined delay can wait a period of time after the point
goes into alarm before the notification is sent to the
remote device. RENO also lets you manually send
instant messages to devices, independent of alarm
activity and regardless of a device’s scheduled
availability.
