Introduction
UPAC™ is a web-based tool used for messaging and alarm handling in your system. It is
also used for the administration of users and groups, for supervision, activity logging and
fault logging etc.
UPAC is a Unite module based on ELISE2 hardware. It can be used independently but also
work in combination with other Unite modules or System 900 modules.
A serial interface is included to enable pagings from external equipment. The serial
interface supports the ESPA 4.4.4 protocol and the Ascom Line protocol.The Ascom Line
protocol is designed to be simple enough to be controlled manually, using a terminal
program connected to the serial port.
UPAC is delivered with a basic level of functionality but, depending on customer requests,
it can be licensed to have additional levels of functionality.
Messaging features supported by UPAC can be SMS between users in the system, sending
instant or predefined text messages from a web browser, or messages automatically sent
when triggered from for example, a handset or a physical input.
UPAC also includes a phonebook which can be accessed from the handsets. The number
of entries in the phonebook depends on whether the internal database or an external
database is used as phonebook source.
Administration of users and groups, management of alarms from handsets and system
units, supervision of other system modules and IP equipment etc. can also be done via a
remote connection to a customer site.
