IDS 400 User Manual

IDS Base Station Receiver 400 700-179-02B Issued January 2009 45
The IDS BSR400 requires an acknowledge signal [ACK] from the computer software within six seconds
(default) for each message sent. Failure to receive an [ACK] will initiate a maximum of 3 additional
attempts to resend the message. The IDS BSR400 can stores over a 1 000 messages in non-volatile
memory and these statuses and events will automatically be sent to the PC when serial communication is
re-established.
The status of the serial communication with the PC is reported as a “System MSG” on the panel display,
