Telnet Server
The VBIP Module has a built-in Telnet server, which
can be used for remote access and management of the
module. If this option is enabled, the module will
respond to communication on the Port 21, and the user
can connect to it using a terminal application, program
parameters and query the event memory of the module.
By default, the access is disabled.
Access via Telnet is password protected, the password
can be any string of upto 8 characters, and it can be
changed by the user if needed. The default access
password is 1234.
HTTP Server, HTTP Port
In case it is enabled, the last 16 events log of the
module can be reviewed with a browser (http). For this
the HTTP server of the module has to be enabled. By
default, this function is disabled. The actual http port of
the module can be changed (default is 80) in case the
port is already assigned at the router. A suggested
alternative port address is 8080.
3.2. Telco Parameters
The telephone communicator of the VBIP Module is a
simplified variant of the VBRC-4 telco, as it supports
DTMF Contact-ID communication only. Also. the
parameters are similar to the ones of the VBRC-4, and
they are as follow:
Single and Extended Modes
Using an external telephone line is not supported by the
VBIP Module by default. The module connects directly
to the TIP/RING terminals of the control panel, and
operates in line-simulation mode (Single Mode). With
the optional VBIP-XT card, the use of the external
telephone line is also possible, just like at the VBRC-4
communicator. To do this, the VBIP Module has to be
set to Extended Mode. More information about this topic
can be found in the VBIP-XT card installation manual.
Phone Number and Force Dial
This is the telephone number, which activates the VBIP
Module when dialled. Upon reception of this number,
the module will answer the call attempt, and tries to
receive events from the control panel. The option
„Force Dial” will force the module to anwer to any
numbers dialled while in line-simulation mode. The
default phone number is „9999”.
Telephon Line Monitoring (TLM)
This option can be used only with the VBIP-XT card, as
it enables the monitoring of the external telephone line.
In case of line failure, the module will automatically
switch to line-simulation mode. This option is disabled
by default.
Use of Own Account
At the VBIP Module it can be set, whether the received
messages should be forwarded with the received
account ID, or with the module’s own account ID. (See
Account ID) The default setting is disabled.
Dial Tone
Some of the control panels require a dial tone before
calling out. The VBIP module can emit a standard,
continuous dial tone in line-simulation mode to
overcome this problem. By default, the dial tone is off.
The setting of further communication parameters by the
user is not recommended, and should be performed
only if there is a communication problem with the
control panel. Please, consult with technical support
before setting these parameters.
3.3. General Parameters
These parameters define the general operation of the
VBIP Module. The Accounts and Event Codes should
be negotiated with the system administrator of the
monitoring station.
Account ID
The VBIP Module has a 4 digit account ID, which is
used to forward its system messages. Also, the module
can be set to use this ID for all messages (See Use of
Own Account). The Account ID is given by the system
administrator of the monitoring station. The default is
„0001”
ContactID - Group ID
The module can use a specific Group ID for its
own/system events, so that they can be easily
differentiated from the events received from the control
panel. The default setting is „99”.
Event Codes
Most of the Contact ID event codes of the module’s own
events can be programmed. The defaults are selected
according to the most general usage.
Test Parameters
The VBIP Module can generate periodic test events to
supervise the connection with the monitoring station.
The period of the test events can be programmed
between 1 minute and 127 hours. It is also possible to
send the value of the test period within the test event
message, at the zone ID position enabling the receiver
to supervise the tests. The default test period is 60
minutes.
I/O Settings
Like the VBRC-4 communicator, the VBIP Module has
two programmable I/O channels. By default these are
inputs, with programmable sensitivty, and can be used
to monitor external events. The default sensitivity is
500ms.
Also, these I/O channels can be programmed as
outputs, in this case, the ouput functions are
programmable.
