TTE Combo Communication Module – Installation and Programming Manual
15
o “Use only LAN media” – Only the LAN channel is used for reporting of events.
o “Both GPRS and LAN media are main (Ver.<4.0)” – This option can be applied for
TTE combo with software version 4.0.0 and higher. The both communication
media are used for reporting. The Parallel reporting
is applied for transmitting of
events. The both media are Main.
Note: According the set reporting channels it is obligatory to set properly also the
submenus “GPRS Settings” and/or “LAN Settings
”!
• Alternative Reporting. In alternative reporting, to the available communication media
are set priorities for using. One of the media is set with the highest priority for using –
Main, and the other(s) are set with lower priority – Backup. In case of an event in the
system, it is transmitted first through the Main media and if the transmitting is
successful, the event is not transmitted further. If the transmitting through the Main
media is failed, the event is transmitted through the Backup media. In alternative
reporting is important the events to be successfully transmitted through only one of the
set communication media, starting with the Main one. The User sets the priority of the
used communication media.
• Parallel Reporting. In parallel reporting, the events are transmitted through all used
communication media. All reporting channels are Main in priority and are used for
transmitting. If the transmitting through one of the media is failed, the incoming events
will be stored in the loop buffer of the module (TTE Combo). When the transmitting
through the media is restored, all the stored events will be sent. In parallel reporting is
obligatory the events to be successfully transmitted through all communication media.
Important: In case the option “LAN is main; GPRS is backup” or “GPRS is main; LAN is
backup” is set, and the module uses Alternative reporting type for transmitting of events,
is applied a special internal test for availability and presence of the used media. The test
is performed on every hour and its purpose is to inform the Monitoring station for
possible problems with both Main and Backup media.
In case of a problem with any of the media, a message “Communication trouble” (“YC”
SIA code) will be sent to the monitoring station, as the type of the media is presented
with “1” for GPRS and “2” for LAN. For example, the SIA code “YC1” means that there is
problem with the used GPRS media of TTE Combo.
The restoring event is “Communication Restore” (“YK” SIA code).
• “Test message (minutes)” – Enter a time in minutes (from 3 to 10080) for a time period
for sending test message from the module to a monitoring station. You can disable the
sending of test messages with setting “0” in the field.
Example: For sending a test message every hour, enter 60; for sending a test message
every 24 hours – enter 1440, etc.
• “Software version” – The current software revision of the TTE Combo module. The field
is not accessible for changing.
Confirm with “Apply” button.
