Supervision
The MGLS is a supervised device. The MGLS periodically transmits its status, via an “I’m alive” message,
to the CP. The frequency of the reporting periods can be configured locally or remotely.
If after a pre-defined time the CP does not receive the “I’m alive” message, the CP sends a “no
communication” report to the Monitoring Station.
