ADPRO FastTrace, Issue 5 2 - 21
2.3.2.3.2 Main Communications Link
Options: Ethernet, Serial Communications 1, Serial Communications 2
Factory Default: Ethernet
The Main Communications Link sets the communication strategy to be employed for automatically sending Alarm
status and associated images to ADPRO Video Central Lite. The Outgoing Communications strategy can be based on
using the unit’s Ethernet port or one of the two Serial Communications ports.
When the Main Communications Link is set to Ethernet or Serial Communications 1 (or 2) and an alarm is
triggered, the ADPRO FastTrace will use the details entered into the Call List Properties to connect to ADPRO Video
Central (with Dongle).
Click the Configure button to add or modify the Call List Properties.
Figure 2-8 - Call List (Ethernet-left, Serial-right) Properties
Use the Add button to place details of up to five (5) sites on the Call List. All entries will be subject to the Connection
Attempts and Connection Separation values.
2.3.2.3.3 Connection Attempts
Options: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Factory Default: 2
The value entered for Connection Attempts defines the number of times an address or telephone number in the Call
List is tried in order to establish a communication link. If the sites cannot be reached (or do not answer) and the number
of connection attempts exceed the value defined, the next address or telephone number in the list is tried. The value is
programmable from 1 to 5.
Note that entering a value of ‘0’ will stop any attempt to connect.
