10. Once you have programmed each channel and backup channel(s) you have completed
this section. Check or edit Sequence Attempts under Communicator – System Event
Reporting (6.11.2).
11. Go to Channel Groups. Here you will group channels together so selected event
messages will be sent to multiple destinations at the same time. Another way to think
of Channel Groups is “multi-path reporting”. Note this is in addition to WiFi/Ethernet
and Cellular backup where equipped and provisioned by UltraSync Portal.
12. Select each channel you want to be part of a group.
Messages sent to a Channel Group will be checked against each Channel’s Event List. If
it is on the list then Aritech Reliance XR will attempt to send it. If not, then Aritech
Reliance XR will not send it, even if the Channel is in the same group.
13. Done. Your Channels are now set up and ready for use. When an event is generated by
the system or a zone it can now be sent to a Channel for reporting.
Example
In this example we have multi-path, prioritised/selective event reporting via three reporting
paths – one control room with backup, push notification to a smartphone, and an email
address. These are grouped into “Channel Group 1”.
All alarms are reported to Control Room 1 and push notification goes to UltraSync+ app
installed on User 1’s smartphone. Control room 1 has a backup receiver.
When a channel receives an alarm message, Aritech Reliance XR checks that the channel’s
Event List includes alarm messages and then attempts to deliver the message via that
channel.
When Channel 1/2/4 receives a low battery report, it is ignored because Event List 1 does
not include the “low battery” event.
Low priority alerts such as opening and closings, low batteries, and auto test reports, are
selected in Event List 2. Channel 6 handles Event List 2 and sends these events as an email
to a building manager. When Channel 6 receives the Zone 3 in Alarm event it takes no
action because Event List 2 does not include “Alarms”.
