DTMF reporting
DTMF reporting is an alternative to ARC reporting, but is specifically for DTMF/Fast
format reporting. Use this section in place of the ARC Report if alarm signalling using the
DTMF format.
IP Check
This function, when enabled, allows the system to check the availability of the IP reporting
path of any configured IP modules that are in the ARC reporting sequence through regular
polling.
A specific message is sent, (over IP) and is considered successful as long as it is delivered
by any IP module (Ethernet or GPRS) that is used in the programmed sequence for the
Report.
Once negotiated, the IP Check is sent repeatedly until explicitly disabled using the menu.
If the connection cannot be re-established the system attempts to establish the IP Check via
the next IP path in the sequence using that specific module, if any. If the polling is
established to an alternative destination it continues to send out the IP Check request to the
module’s first or subsequent IP destination in the sequence so that it can revert to it when it
recovers.
If the initial connection is re-established to a receiver earlier in the sequence, then the
existing IP Check polling will be disabled and the recovered one will continue as before.
