Number of connections attempts before switching to primary server
In this filed you determine how many times the device will try to make connection to
backup server. If connection fail, after execution of some connections, device will
start connecting to primary server.
Disconnect after
If you mark this field the device will disconnect from backup server after defined
time. If this option is active the device reconnects to the primary server. If this
option is not active the device firstly completes connection to backup server
procedure and if this fails, the device will try to connect to the primary server.
8.1.3.3. SMS Parameters
Channel Role (Channel Priority)
There are four settings:
 Unused
 Main
 Backup
 Emergency
Test Events Period
The device sends message “Test” with determined interval that informs monitoring
station that the device is in operation mode. In this field you can determine how
often this message will be sent (in minutes). Usually it is undesirable to send text as
SMS so often as with GPRS or Ethernet transmission. Parameter this allow for
significant extension of distance between tests (time in minutes) or completely
disabling this option.
Fast events mode
Selecting this option will immediately send the monitored events (considered as
more important) if other transmission channels had not established communication
with the server. This means that potentially events can be sent by more expensive
and less optimal channels like SMS, but we have greater confidence that the
notification arrives as quickly as possible. If this option is disabled, the device stops
sending events until it connects to the server.
