In this situation, the circuits collated would be as follows:
System Circuit Number Device Type
1-26 10.2.3.100 Fixed/Diagnostic
27-38 10.2.3.101 Interceptors (East)
39-56 10.2.3.101 Monitored Contacts (East)
57-68 10.2.3.102 Interceptors (South)
69-86 10.2.3.102 Monitored Contacts (South)
87-98 10.2.3.103 Interceptors (West)
99-116 10.2.3.103 Monitored Contacts (West)
117-128 10.2.3.104 Interceptors (North)
129-146 10.2.3.104 Monitored Contacts (North)
147-178 10.2.3.100 SMS Collator Device Status
Note circuits 147-178 in the table above. The Rack which is acting as the Collator
annunciates 32 circuits which represent the status of the 32 devices in its Collator list.
The status of these circuits indicate whether the Collator has been able to access and
annunciate the circuits from that device. There are always 32 Collator Status circuits,
no matter how many devices are actually configured - even blank entries in the Device
list have corresponding circuits annunciated in the Device Status list.
2.5.7.5 SMS Collator Information and Reporting
Once initially configured, the Collator does not update its circuit and output lists
automatically. This means that whenever any circuits are added to the system or
removed from it, the Collator's list should always be updated manually using the
Discover Rack IP Circuits/Outputs link.
This includes the enabling or disabling of Fixed/Diagnostics Circuits on any of the
system's Comander Racks, since these are annunciated as circuits to the Collator.
A full list of the Collated circuits and outputs, including the unique number by which
each circuit is annunciated, can be viewed using the Show Collated Circuits link at the
bottom of the SMS Collator page of the Configurator. As well as being used to
annunciate circuits to SMS computers, these unique numbers are also used by the
Auto-SMS part of the Comander functionality, and by the MIMIC Panel Mapping
feature.
2.5.8 SMS IP Connections
On a Comander which is operating as the system Collator (see previous section), IP-
based SMS computers can be allocated specific roles using the SMS IP Connections
page of the Configurator.
Each SMS computer must be allocated a unique port number, which must match the
port number configured in the SMS software. You can also select whether
communication with the SMS computer is encrypted using SSL, or is a simple TCP
connection.
The Functionality setting controls whether the SMS computer will act as a simple alarm
control device ("SMS Basic"), or whether it can also be used to alter the system
configuration and/or see diagnostic information – the Functionality options are the
same as the SMS options in the COM port Configurator, and are explained in section
2.5.3 above.
