ARLY-1 Cfg> ALARM-RECEIVER BLOCK none-signals
2.2. AUTOMATION-SOFTWARE-REQUIRED
This lets yo to configure if the acknowledgements to the received signals are done by the Automation
Software or by the VisorALARM receiver.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>automation-software-required
Example:
ARLY-1 Cfg>automation-software-required
This command specify that an alarm must be acknowledged by the Automation Software in order to
give a kissoff to the Control Unit.
ARLY-1 Cfg>no automation-software-required
This command specify that when the VisorALARM receiver receives an alarm the kissoff will be
returned to the Control Unit.
2.3. BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER
Permits you to configure the network backup functionality. This functionality is operative from
release 10.4.7 onwards. Network backup defines a main VisorALARM which maintains
communications with the installed mIP/IPDACTs. In cases where these communications fail, the
mIP/IPDACTs, from release 2.2 onwards, are able to divert traffic towards a second backup
VisorALARM. Only in cases where the backup VisorALARM fails will the alarms be directly sent
by the alarms panel.
Additionally, for alarm reception through a second IP receiver, the synchronization functionality for
configurations has been added, i.e. the configurations for the two VisorALARMs tend to be similar,
updating every certain time period, which is configurable.

a) BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER TYPE
Defines the type of VisorALARM. There are three possible types: main which by default is the
receiver maintaining all the communications with the deployed mIP/IPDACTs; secondary or backup
which is the second communication option for the mIP/IPDACTs in cases where the main one fails
and finally maintenance that is a receiver where all the signals are transmmited.
Usually in a Maintenance receiver the alarm signals are filtered by means of the “block” command and
the trouble signals (with code 3xx) are processed.
