Host Backup
After displaying the
RETRY TIME
prompt, the keypad displays
HST BCKUP NO YES.
Select
YES
to enable Host Backup.
Select
NO
to disable Host Backup.
There are two ways to use the Host Backup feature to send messages through the
backup Host. You could have two 462N cards on the panel and assign the Modem
Setup String to send the backup messages through a backup network device, such
as a cellular radio, to the receiver. Alternatively, you can have one 462N card and
assign the Modem Setup String to route the backup messages to the backup
receiver. Refer to the
Appendix
for more information about using the Host
Backup feature.
Note:
When using two 462N cards, Host Backup must be set to
YES
.
Note:
You can still program
2ND LINE
for a different communication type, such as
CELL
or
DD
.
3.2.3
Modem Setup
The keypad displays
MODEM SETUP:
. Press COMMAND. Enter up to two lines of 16
characters to equal 32 characters for the string that is sent to the device
connected to the 462N Network Interface Card. If the network device is an iCOM
and you are using Host Backup, refer below for the iCOM's setup string. If you are
using a non-DMP network device such as a CDPD Modem, refer to the device's
literature for the setup string.
If
HST BCKUP
is
NO
and the device connected to the 462N card is a DMP network
device, do not enter a Modem Setup String in this field. If the device is not a DMP
network device, enter the device's Modem Setup String in this field.
If
HST BCKUP
is selected as
YES
and you are using two 462N Cards, enter the
Modem Setup String for the second network device. The Modem Setup String is
sent to the second network device, such as a cellular radio, which sends the
messages to the receiver. If the backup network device is a second iCOM, you do
not need to enter a Modem Setup String.
If
HST BCKUP
is selected as
YES
and you are using one 462N Card, enter the
Modem Setup String to send the message to a backup receiver. The panel will
attempt to send messages to the receiver using the Remote IP Address
programmed in the iCOM. If the first attempt fails, the panel uses the Modem
Setup String to send the messages to the backup receiver.
Note:
If you are using a non-DMP network device and an iCOM, use the non-DMP
device as the backup device. If not, the Modem Setup String entered will override
the IP Address of the iCOM and will not be used for the non-DMP network device.
The Modem Setup String for the iCOM should be entered as follows:
AT#UC
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
#PPPPP.
To enter the #, press 0 and the far right top
row Select key. To enter the . (periods), press 0 and the second from the left
Select key. Enter the backup IP Address in place of the
X
s. Also enter the UDP
Port Number in place of the
P
s. The default port number is 2001. You do not
need to enter leading zeros.
Note:
If you are using Host Backup and
UL AA
is set to
YES
, the panel will only
send the S72 (
WARNING: NETWORK
TROUBLE
) message after the first series of
host message attempts fails.
Refer to the
Appendix
for information about Host
options.
