3 Set the Loop Verification Interval. This deter-
mines how often a test signal is sent through the
communication loop verifying the loop’s integ-
rity. The loop’s data bandwidth will be reduced if
the test interval is shortened or the loop’s data
bandwidth can be increased if the test interval is
lengthened. The test signal is a relatively short
signal, and using the default value of 60 seconds
is an optimum setting. If the test signal is not
received within the defined time interval a Loop
Trouble alarm is generated.
4 Select either (or both) buffer check boxes
[Buffer all panels on exit and Unbuffer all
panels on startup] to apply buffering instruc-
tions.
Select Buffer on Exit to automatically buffer all
panels when the communication server is
stopped. Select Unbuffer on Startup to auto-
matically unbuffer all panels when the communi-
cation server is started.
NOTE: Logging in or out of the database server
doesn’t affect the communincation server. The
communication server runs until it is shut down (either
manually or by shutting down the operating system).
5 Indicate the Time Zone in which the loop is
located.
6 Set the Panel Defaults:
I/O Poll Interval: [defaults to 60 seconds] Sets
the frequency for the signal sent to the panel to
verify communication and to check the panel’s
input and output states.
The loop’s data bandwidth will be reduced if the
test interval is shortened or the loop’s data
bandwidth can be increased if the test interval is
lengthened.
