The following functions may be changed using the web-page. 

Function Meaning 

Alarm Button 
Mode

 

These radio buttons select the mode assigned to Input 2. 

Selecting Silence mode will cause the AMI to stop playing its current message or 
page when the button is pressed. 

Reset mode will cause the AMI to clear all of its alarms and pages when the button 
is pressed. 

AMI 
Communication

 

This button is used to select the communication interface between the ARC Board 
and the AMI (RS-232 or RS-485).  RS-485 is the default communication interface.  
After changing this value, the ARC board MUST be reset.  The web page must be 
refreshed following the board reset. 

Audio Dropout 
Time 

Assuming no audio is detected at the VOX 1 input, this setting value determines the 
length of time (in seconds) before the ARC reports a “No Audio” condition and 
switches control to the back-up AMI.  The range is 5–10 seconds in 1-second 
increments.  The default value is 5 seconds.   This parameter may need to be altered 
if there are pause (silence) times in the AMI message greater than 5 seconds. 

Audio Detect 
Threshold 

This setting specifies the threshold level at which the audio is detected by the ARC 
board.  Selecting the Disable option from the drop-down list will disable audio 
detection.  Valid values for audio detection are 1 through 10, ranging from 100 mV 
to 1 V, in steps of 100 mV.  The default value of this parameter is 3 (300 mV). 

Set AMI Date or 
Time

 

Allows the user to change the date and time on the corresponding AMI.  

N

OTE

:

  

This is the only way to set the date/time on the AMI, and must be done separately 
for each ARC board.  The default web page values for date and time are set 
according to the last date/time retrieved from the AMI.  The data connection to the 
AMI must be functioning properly to allow the date and time to be set. 

ARC Controller 
Configuration

 

Displays the network configuration data for the ARC board: 

 

Current MAC address 

 

Current IP address 

 

Subnet mask 

 

Gateway address 

These values cannot be modified via the web page.
