Settings that the device Security Center use when transmitting events via GSM and Ethernet channels can be
specified on the “Security Center” tab.
5.8.1
Device Identification
Figure 68: “Security Center” tab, “Identification” section
In the “Identification” section it is possible to specify the number of the site that will be used when transmitting
events from the device.
Since the transmission of events from the device to the Security Center software is performed in a
protocol that is the information equivalent of the Ademco ContactID protocol, each event, if possible,
contains information about the number of the partition in which it occurred, as well as the zone number,
which caused the formation of the event, or the number of the user who performed the partition arming
or disarming. Thus, when transmitting over GSM or Ethernet, a single site number is sufficient to
transmit any event from the device without loss of informativity.
In the “Identification” section, the “Device identifier” field displays the unique eight-digit serial number that the
device receives at the production stage. This serial number can be transmitted to the receiver and serve as an
alternative to the site number when identifying the device. The “Transmit device identifier to remote program”
parameter is used to enable this feature. The possibility to use the serial number of the device instead of the
site number is not implemented in the Security Center software: if the serial number is transmitted to the remote
program, the serial number will simply be displayed in the site card on the “Equipment” tab.
If the Security Center version 4 is used as the remote software, then it is impossible to include the
transmission of the serial number to the remote program: the device will not be able to connect to the
Security Center.
To ensure that the events from the device are properly handled by the Security Center software, the following
conditions shall be met:
∙
the site number specified when setting up the device shall match the site number created for the device in the
Security Center software;
∙
in the “Site Manager” module, the value “C.Nord GSM (CML)” shall be specified on the “Equipment” tab
for this site;
∙
before the first connection of the device to the Security Center software, make sure that the value in the “ID”
field on the “Equipment” tab is not set.
