Setup
ADPRO FastTrace, Issue 5 2 - 17
2.3.2.2.2 Line Type
Options: Dial, Leased Line.
Factory Default: Dial
The Dial option is used for analogue (PSTN) or digital (ISDN) networks where the connection is usually made by
dialling a particular telephone number.These lines may be routed via a switchboard or PABX system.
Set this option to Leased Line if the system is connected via a dedicated (leased) line. Leased lines are not normally
routed through telephone switchboards or PABX equipment and no dialling is required for the connection to be made.
2.3.2.2.3 Data Rate
Options: 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bps, 57600bps, 115200bps, 230400bps
Factory Default: 115200bps
The Data Rate setting determines the speed in bits per second (bps) that data will be transferred between the ADPRO
FastTrace COMMS port and the interface of the modem or terminal adaptor.
When connected to modems, the ADPRO FastTrace normally is programmed for asynchronous data at a specific data
rate and is set for the maximum data rate that the particular modem can support. This is commonly referred as the DTE
to DCE baud rate.
2.3.2.2.4 Dial Time
Options: 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 120 seconds
Factory Default: 60 seconds
The Dial Time is the maximum time the ADPRO FastTrace will wait to establish a communication link after dialling.
Dial Time starts from the instant the dial procedure is initiated and can be set in 30-second increments. It is important
that the chosen value takes into account the time required to dial the number and the number of Answer Rings
programmed in the ADPRO Video Central Lite PC at the receiving end.
A typical value is 60 seconds for the dial (PSTN) network and 30 seconds for the ISDN network.
2.3.2.2.5 Answer Rings
Options: 0 to 9, (0 = Don’t Answer)
Factory Default: 2 rings
The ADPRO FastTrace can be programmed to either:
a. wait for a programmable number of rings from 1 to 9, in one ring increments, before answering an incoming
call, or
b. not answer any incoming calls (when the value is set to 0).
For example, set Answer Rings = 0 when the User does not want ADPRO Video Central Lite accessing this particular
site if no alarms are being generated. Generally the Answer Rings option would be set to 1-3 rings.
