Measured response time by running “CT400 alarm receiver software”
after receiving a complete alarm message at one line in CT400 without email
transmission: 20ms maximum without RS232 printer.
45 ms maximum with RS232 printer and printer baud rate of 115200.
Micro Seven Receiver software
which is included as no charge provided no technical support and no liability
from Micro Seven:
1. It is Windows type.
2. Decode events and display with date/time
3. Email transmissions ON/OFF
4. Output displayed data to printer port at another RS232 interface, ON/OFF
5. Generate sounds upon receiving alarm messages, ON/OFF
6. Store decoded alarm messages in a file
The main
screen of the receiver software is displayed as shown below. The left hand side
shows consecutive received alarm messages from line number (1-4), consecutive
alarm message number, month/date/year/time, complete alarm message, account
number, event qualifier, event code with decoded event, user/zone and
partition.
The right hand side of the screen shows programmed
modes for email on/off, printer on/off, sound on/off and programming data for
email transmission, printer and sound. The decoded alarm messages are saved as
history file in computer disk file and also they are transmitted to RS232
printer when enabled.
The screen for “centralprogram.exe” for programming
email, printer, and sound is shown below:
Micro Seven Software/Simultaneous
receiving alarm messages at all lines:
CT400 supports receiving alarm signals
simultaneously at all lines. Received alarm messages are shown in PC screen and
are also archived in “al”. To prove that CT400 can receive alarm signals at all
lines simultaneously, an incoming telephone call is connected to all four
lines. The archived file showed the result below: The first line indicates that
the received line number.
