GPI Output Function
The GPI Output Function submenu is used to determine the GPO Polarity and GPO
Output Setup for each input.
GPO Out 1 and 2 Polarity
There are two OUTPUT GPIs that are associated with a list of alarms. All GPI alarm
activation selections are set to the default OFF until the alarm is enabled. When an
alarm is enabled, the GPI functions according to the GPO OUT 1 and 2 POLARITY
setting (NORMALLY OPEN, NORMALLY CLOSED). The default polarity is
NORMALLY OPEN.
• NORMALLY OPEN: The contact closure on the GPI board is normally open.
When the contact closure closes, the GPO alarm is activated.
• NORMALLY CLOSED: The contact closure on the GPI board is normally
closed. When the contact closure opens, the GPO is activated.
GPO Out 1 and 2 Setup
The GPO Out 1 and 2 Setup submenu is used to select what input or alarm the GPO
follows. If an alarm occurs on an input associated with the GPO, the GPO will change
its polarity setting. If Follow Alarms is selected, the GPO will change its polarity
setting whenever an alarm occurs on any input.
GPI Alarm Reporting Setup
The GPI Alarm Reporting Setup menu accesses the GPI Alarm Reporting Matrix. In
the GPI Alarm Reporting Matrix select what functions each GPI Alarm (GPI Alarm 1
through 9) will trigger when an alarm is activated. Each alarm can be selected to
trigger one or more of the following: LOG, SOUND, SNMP TRAP, GPI OUT 1, GPI
OUT 2, FREEZE, and DATA CAPTURE.
Router Port
There is one RJ11 router control port located on the back panel. The port is used to
control Videotek RS series routers. The router can be switched manually or set to scan
all inputs. The router can be set to continuously scan selected inputs searching for
alarm conditions. All alarm conditions detected by the VTM Series will be logged on
the display (maximum 200 alarms), or a PC to produce a continuous log file.
Router control is accessed in the SETUP menu under COMMUNICATIONS\ROUTER
PORT. Under the Router Port menu are the following submenus:
• INPUT SELECTION: Use to select which input (A, B, C, or D) the router scans.
• CONFIGURATION: Use to DISABLE, ENABLED ROUTER, ENABLED
SCANNER. ENABLED ROUTER will allow manual control, and ENABLED
SCANNER will force the router to sequentially switch through all activated inputs.
