Figure 5-27. Remote Service Example
As shown in the example above GARD (A) and GARD (B) will be configured for a 64 kbps “Remote
Service Channel” over COM 0. The GARD (A) unit has an Ethernet connection through a Rear Port
whereas the GARD (B) unit does not. Therefore, in order to reach the GARD (B) remotely the
“Remote Service Channel” function of the GARD8000 system can be implemented. The Remote
Service Channel function (64 kbps connection) requires an additional spare “Time Slot” that needs to
be programmed through the web pages (Communications Time Slot Configuration).
To program GARD (A) and GARD (B) for Remote Service proceed as follows:
NOTE
Before the Remote Service Channel can be used both
GARD (A) and GARD (B) must be configured.
