Base Station Conversion
The base station IDs that are received together with personal alarms can be converted to
another ID before it is sent to the system.
8.1
Background
In some systems, the base station IDs might alter when the Cordless Telephone System is
upgraded. In the alarm handling the base station IDs are used for location determination
of an alarming handset. Normally the ID is converted to a text string that describes the
location. The ID can also be used in trigger conditions, for example to decide which guards
that should be informed about an alarm. To avoid having to update the base station IDs in
many different places in the configuration of the alarm handling, the UPAC can convert
the base station IDs before it is sent to the alarm system.
This can be convenient regardless of how the Cordless Telephone System handles an
upgrade as the base station IDs normally consists of about ten characters. The base station
conversion can then be used to shorten the IDs before it is sent to the alarm system. It is
also possible to convert the ID to a descriptive text.
8.2
Configuration
The Base Station Conversion can be reached from the left menu in the UPAC
administration pages. Requires “admin” or “sysadmin” password, refer to
