4.5 Alarm Transmission Configuration
1. The Polling Engine at the ARC also acts as the receiver for alarm signalling. If
the dialler is only required to communicate with a single receiver (i.e. there is
no requirement for a backup receiver or second path) then no other
configuration is required.
2. Every time the dialler makes a call to transmit an alarm, the DIAL indicator on
the IRIS Dialler will come on.
3. If a backup or second path is required, the twelve digit IP address of the
second receiver should be programmed into the second ARC telephone
number field of the dialler.
4. Having set up the alarm transmission as required, it is strongly recommended
that all routes are tested by generating alarm signals. During alarm call testing
a standard PSTN line monitor can be used to listen in to the alarm
communications including ‘handshake’ and ‘kiss-off’ tones to confirm correct
operation.
