Report IP | Options

  • Switch Secondary IP Immediately: With this option enabled, when the primary channel fails to connect the service will immediately attempt the secondary channel instead of making multiple attempts to connect over the primary (i.e. the Port open attempts setting is ignored).

  • Report open: When this option is enabled the service will report disarming (opening) for all areas using this service.

  • Report close: When this option is enabled the service will report arming (closing) for all areas using this service.

  • Report alarms: When this option is enabled the service will report input alarms.

  • Report tampers: When this option is enabled the service will report input tampers and trouble input alarms.

  • Report restore: When this option is enabled the service will report input restores.

  • Report bypass: When this option is enabled the service will report input bypasses.

  • Log Acknowledge Response: When this option is enabled, an event will be logged whenever an acknowledgment (ACK) packet is received from the monitoring receiver. This option may be useful for initial configuration and troubleshooting but should be disabled during normal operation to save event storage.

  • Log Polling Message: When this option is enabled, an event will be logged whenever a polling message is sent to the monitoring receiver. This option may be useful for initial configuration and troubleshooting but should be disabled during normal operation to save event storage.

  • Log Message Retries: When this option is enabled, an event will be logged whenever the service resends a failed message.

  • Log Reporting Failure: When this option is enabled, an event will be logged whenever communications have failed completely and the service is waiting to make another attempt.

  • Service operates as backup: When operating as a backup the service will not begin reporting unless it is initiated by another service that has failed to report. This service will report any messages from the primary service which failed to send, and then return operation to the primary. The backup service starts and stops at the same time as the primary service.

    Only Report IP services have the option to set a Backup service (General tab).
