Serial port:
In this section you can configure the transparent serial port settings. The serial port on the device
enables transparent data communication between the device and the Remote Serial Client
software developed for this purpose. The purpose of the serial port is to enable remote
programming of the alarm control panel connected to the device, over the Internet. Configure the
settings according to the requirements of the device (alarm control panel or other device)
connected to the serial port of the Adapter2.
Available options: baud rate, parity and stop bits.
You can find further help on how to configure the serial port for use with the most popular alarm
systems, in paragraph “Remote programming of alarm control panels”.
System time:
NTP server 1,2: in this section you can select one of the default NTP servers or you can also
configure custom NTP servers which you wish to use for system time synchronization.
The device synchronizes the system time from the GSM network and if this fails, it will use the
NTP servers. If synchronization from the NTP servers also fails, it will synchronize the date and
time using the timestamp received from a CMS server/receiver, if CMS is used.
Time zone: select the time zone according to the location of installation. The device adjusts the
system time according to the time zone setting. If the setting is wrong, there will be difference
between the system time and the local time and therefore the timestamps of the events will also
be wrong, and the periodic test report will also be sent at the wrong time of day.
Operating mode used upon dialing a number via the simulated phone line:
Operating mode:
• Start a GSM voice call upon any dialed phone number: the device will not send the
handshake signal but will initiate a GSM voice call to the dialed phone number and will
make possible DTMF communication or speech through the simulated phone line.
The device will also send the report via IP in parallel with the DTMF-based reporting.
• Receive and process alarm system messages upon dialing the specified numbers;
for other phone numbers start a GSM voice call: you can configure up to 4 phone
numbers and if the alarm control panel dials one of these through the simulated phone line,
the device will send the handshake signal and will receive the reports of the alarm control
panel, respectively will send these over IP according to the settings. If the alarm control
panel dials a different phone number which is not configured in this section, the device will
initiate a GSM voice call to the dialed phone number and will make possible DTMF
communication or speech through the simulated phone line. This function offers the
possibility for backup reporting to DTMF receivers. For this, the alarm control panel should
be configured such way, that if reporting to the phone numbers (max. 4) specified in this
section fails, the alarm control panel should call a different phone number (the DTMF
receiver’s number) to which the device will already initiate a GSM voice call. The device
will also send the report via IP in parallel with the DTMF-based reporting.
• Receive and process alarm system messages upon any number dialed: no matter
what number the alarm control panel dials through the simulated phone line, the device will
automatically send the handshake signal and will receive the reports of the alarm control
panel, respectively will send these over IP according to the settings. This option can be
used for easy alignment if you wish to send reports only over IP, but you do not know what
number the alarm control panel dials or cannot change that.
