Function Control Commands
Function Control commands are used to activate functions that have been preconfigured
into the Informer. Functions can be configured to control audio volume, activate relay
outputs, play tones, and play WAV files. Functions configured with Commander
®
can also
include delays and repeat loops.
The input functions can be configured on the Informer’s web page and activated by
initiating local digital inputs on the Informer.
Configuring Informers Using the Web Interface
Informer products can operate as autonomous devices controlled by contact closures
without connecting to a network server or becoming part of a supervised network with
remote configuration, control, and status monitoring. Use the Informer’s internal web
server to configure network settings, volume control, remote input configuration, access
security, Modbus®, and SIP interfaces. More advanced configuration and programming
require Federal Signal’s Commander software application and SmartMsg Centerpoint
server. All configuration starts with the IP network interface.
