5.3.13 Configuring dry contacts
Special Functions → Inputs/Outputs
Depending on the model, PSW switches are equipped with connectors for
contact sensors (dry contacts) and/or built-in tamper sensor. They can be used for
security purposes, for example for access control.
There are two ways of sending out an alarm event:
1.
Over Syslog, SMTP, SNMP Trap protocols. When a dry contact is triggered, a
message is generated, which is sent to the server which receives and logs the
message and informs the operator.
2.
Using the
Teleport-1
integration units, which have digital outputs, it is
possible to configure the transfer of the dry contact activation in PSW switch to
the output in the Teleport integration unit. In other words, if the switch input is
closed and the switch is remote from the server, the output of the Teleport
integration unit installed in the server room will be closed simultaneously. The
output can then be connected to any security system. The configuration of the
PSW-Teleport link is discussed in detail in section 5.3.26.
