Protege System Controller Reference Manual

Reporting Table
With the size of the Protege system the maximum reporting points available in the Contact ID format is easily
exceeded, to allow flexibility a reporting table has been created to allow information to be sent using pre-defined
zone numbers or values. There are 2 predefined configurations for the reporting tables and 8 custom tables that
can be configured for use by any of the services. For information on the custom tables refer to the Table
Configuration section (see page 290).
SV001 Reporting
Table 000
Use the [1] and [3] keys to scroll the reporting tables selection and press [ENTER] to select the reporting table
displayed. For more information about the list control data entry refer to the section List Control Data Entry (see
page 344).
Dialing Attempts
The dialing attempts determine how many times the dialer will attempt to dial a number before failure. This
setting will be overridden by the modem configuration dependent on the country of installation. For UL and ULC
installations this value can not be set above 8 and will be internally restricted if a value is programmed above this
value. The dialing attempts operates in conjunction with the dialing delay setting.
SV001 Dialing
attempts: 008
To modify the dialing attempts (000 to 255, a setting of 000 will result in the default of 8 attempts being used),
use the keypad as explained in section Entering Decimal Numbers (see page 341) and press [ENTER].
Port Open Attempts
The port open attempts determine how many times the service will wait for the modem to become available if
another service is already using modem for communication. This operates in conjunction with the port open
time settings.
SV001 Port open
attempts: 008
To modify the port open attempts (000 to 255, a setting of 000 will result in the default of 8 port attempts being
used), use the keypad as explained in section Entering Decimal Numbers (see page 341) and press [ENTER].
Report Count
The report count if set to a value other than 000 will restrict the service from sending more than the
programmed number of reports to the monitoring station. When using multiple reporting paths that potentially
can report the same event to 2 or more locations the report count should be programmed with an acceptable
limit (Between 8 and 16 is recommended).
SV001 Report
count: 000
To modify the report count (000 to 255, a setting of 000 will result in an unlimited number of reports being able
to be sent), use the keypad as explained in section Entering Decimal Numbers (see page 341) and press
[ENTER].
