Forwarding is a function that causes the IPCtrl software to
transmit a data packet to a remote Subscriber upon the
reception of a specific event by the same or another
Subscriber.
See below for details on data entry for this function:
Edit Radio Forward Table:
Figure 11-27
The Forwarding table above is used to configure the event and subscriber
to forward the data to. The types of outbound data packets include data to
be printed on a serial printer attached to the remote subscriber’s serial
port, alarm automation messages and instructions to control relays on an
attached Relay Output module.
Caution! Forwarding increases air traffic on the network, which may lead
to slowdowns on a busy system. Use forwarding sparingly and only when
required. Only forward essential data.
There is no guarantee the for-warded data will be received. The
remote site that receives the data is not a substitute for a central
receiver. There will be no notification or report to any external
system if a forwarded packet fails to reach the destination
Subscriber.
IPCtrl software can forward the activity data of a subscriber unit to
another subscriber unit. The data received is sent to the RS-232
port of the receiving unit, where a handheld programmer
(terminal), a printer or a computer may be connected. This allows
a secondary site to monitor alarms, restorals check-ins, etc. at a
secondary location. This function is for secondary reporting only -
the central receiver is always the primary monitoring site.
Select or Enter the Origin ID. Then enter the ID of the unit data is
to be forwarded to.
Add a memo (such as name/address) of up to 40 characters. This
memo is sent with all forwarded data.
