In the
Connection timing
area, we recommend the following
settings:
■
Set the number of retries to 20, the maximum allowed.
■
Set the time between retries to 60s for the first base station, and
increment in steps of 5s for other base stations (e.g. set base station
2 to 65s, base station 3 to 70s, etc.). This prevents all base stations
from retrying at the same time if a fault occurs that affects them all.
■
Set the minimum interval to at least 30 minutes. The interval
should be long enough to allow all base stations to dial out if
necessary; we suggest 30 minutes plus an extra 3 minutes for each
base station on the site.
Note
If there is a particular condition that can be guaranteed to affect all
base stations (e.g. mains failure), we recommend that you enable
this alarm on only two base stations. This precaution will prevent
a mass dial-out attempt, but will still allow you to check for false
alarms.
