Introduction
1. Introduction to the ARLY Interface
The ARLY interface is a serial interface that provides the VisorALARM with complete IP alarm
receiver functionality. The device performs the following tasks:
• Receives alarms from the registered mIP/IPDACTs through an IP network.
• Emulates a conventional alarm receiver sending the alarms through an asynchronous serial
port in order to be processed in automation alarm software.
• Supervises the registered mIP/IPDACTs and generates the corresponding alarm in cases of
loss of communication.
• Supports the installation and maintenance of the registered mIP/IPDACTs.
• From release 10.4.7 onwards, the network backup functionality has been added.

2. Introducing the SEPI Interface
The SEPI interface (Serial Event Printing Interface) endows the VisorALARM device with a serial
port function to which a printer serial device can be connected and also admits the ASCII basic
protocol. Traditional alarm receivers commonly have a serial printer to print out events therefore this
functionality has been added to the VisorALARM device.
The SEPI interface is directly linked to the ARLY interface so the events for this interface displayed
on the console are those sent to the printer. Basically, not all the events are printed, only those that are
not repetitive. Additionally the events are organized into different functionalities, being printed by
function and not by event.

1. Initial Configuration
So that the device can operate as an IP receiver, the first serial interface for this must be an ARLY.
This is achieved through the configuration command:
*P 4
Config>set data-link arly serial0/0
Config>
In order to check that the operation has been correctly executed you can view the entire configuration
for the device or display the state of the configured interfaces:
Config>show config

As you can see, in both cases the serial0/0 line has been configured as an ARLY interface.
In order to access the ARLY interface configuration, use the NETWORK command and the serial line
associated to the ARLY interface:
Config>
Config>NETWORK SERIAL0/0
-- ARLY Interface Configuration -ARLY-1 Cfg>
From this menu you can configure the type of emulated alarms receiver, the serial line parameters in
order to connect with the automation software, the configuration patterns and the information on all
the supported mIP/IPDACTs. Additionally this permits on-line modification and updating for the
supported mIP/IPDACT base maintenance tasks.

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.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>backup-alarm-receiver ?

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.

Configures the main VisorALARM address. This parameter is only logical for the backup
VisorALARM, as it needs to know the IP address of the main in order to execute two functions:
• Poll to 1 main VisorALARM with the aim of detecting if it’s down.
• Establish the connection with the main VisorALARM to synchronize configurations.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER ADDRESS-MAIN value
value
Main VisorALARM IP address.
Example:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER ADDRESS-MAIN 80.26.96.183
ARLY-1 Cfg>
c) BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER MAINTENANCE-PASSWORD
This parameter only is necessary when the receiver is configured as maintenance. This parameter
configures the keyword that must be used by the receiver to decipher the sent messages from the mIP
devices.
d) BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER SYNC-PORT
This parameter is necessary both in the main VisorALARM and in the backup. This value is the port
which listens in the main and where TCP connections are accepted from the backup VisorALARM
through which the configurations synchronization protocol is established. To simplify this port, it can
be the same as that used for mIP/IPDACT supervision tasks. In this way, you only need to make a
single port transparent in the input router.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER SYNC-PORT value
value
Configurations synchronization port. Admits values between 1 and
65535.
Example:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER SYNC-PORT 35536
ARLY-1 Cfg>
e) BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER POLL-TIME
This parameter is the time between polls carried out by the backup VisorALARM over the main. The
task of these polls is to detect when the main VisorALARM is down. If the backup device checks
that its output to Internet is correct (its Ethernet physical interface is operative and the polls carried out
over an external server are correct) but the poll fails, you need to assume that rest of the installed
VISOR ALARM – ARLY Configuration

Rev.2.0
mIP/IPDACTs will have the same problem. Consequently all the traffic should be forwarded to the
backup device which activates as if it were the main device. A failure in this poll does not produce the
activation process but subsequently, after a series of retries has been executed until the main
VisorALARM is considered down.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>backup-alarm-receiver poll-time value
value
Time in seconds between polls over the main VisorALARM. This
admits values between 5 and 300 seconds.
Example:
ARLY-1 Cfg>backup-alarm-receiver poll-time 20
ARLY-1 Cfg>
f) BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER POLL-FAILURE-TIME
This is the time the backup VisorALARM waits to receive a response to a polling packet. If during
this period of time the response is not received, the backup device will begin the retry sequence.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER POLL-FAILURE-TIME value
value
Time waited for the response to the poll. Admits values between 3
and 10 seconds.
Example:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER POLL-FAILURE-TIME 5
ARLY-1 Cfg>
g) BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER RETRIES-NUMBER
This is the number of polls making up the retry sequence. If after all the retries have been executed
and there is no response, the main VisorALARM is considered down. The response wait time for the
retry is still poll-failure-time.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER RETRIES-NUMBER value
value
Number of retries. Admits values between 1 and 10.
Example:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER RETRIES-NUMBER 3
ARLY-1 Cfg>
h) BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER RETRY-TIME
This is the time between retries. Evidently this time must be greater or equal to poll-failuretime.
Syntax:

i) BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER POLLING-SYNC-TIME
This value is the time between configuration synchronizations.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER POLLING-SYNC-TIME value
value
Time in seconds between configuration synchronizations. Admits
values between 1 and 65535.
Example:
ARLY-1 Cfg>BACKUP-ALARM-RECEIVER POLLING-SYNC-TIME 5
ARLY-1 Cfg>
The right election of the previous values is fundamental for the correct operation of the
backup process. Specifically, these parameters affect the detection of service
interruption for both the main and the backup receivers.
However, a receiver could decide that its complementary receiver (main or backup) has
a failure as the polling between them has been interrupted, however that polling could
have failed because the receiver itself doesn’t have the Ethernet up or because it
doesn’t have Internet access.
So, it is very important that detection of poll failure is slower than detection of failure
in the Ethernet interface or the Internet.
As guide to choose an adequate set of parameters it is strongly recommended that the
values meet the following conditions:
Main VisorALARM receiver:
2 x POLL-TIME > 15
2 x POLL-TIME > 3 x MONITOR-IP-ADDRESS-RATE
1
2
Backup VisorALARM receiver:
POLL-FAILURE-TIME + RETRIES-NUMBER * RETRY-TIME > 15
POLL-FAILURE-TIME + RETRIES-NUMBER * RETRY-TIME > 3 x MONITOR-IP-ADDRESS-RATE
1
2
NOTES:
1
The value 15 is the time in seconds that the equipment takes in detecting a failure in
the Ethernet interface.
2
MONITOR-IP-ADDRESS-RATE is the poll time of an external server in the Internet.
It must be configured according with the MONITOR-IP-ADDR paragraph.

The default values for these parameters meet the previous conditions.
2.4. CFG-PATTERN
Permits you to define a configuration pattern to be used for mIP/IPDACTs installation and register.
From the configuration point of view, a pattern number identifies a pattern.
An important configuration pattern parameter is the installer password as this is the password used to
encrypt the register request. When the VisorALARM receives this petition, it uses the pattern which
permits it to correctly decrypt the mIP/IPDACT request. The rest of the parameters are used by the
mIP/IPDACT in normal operating mode. All the parameters must be configured to ensure correct
mIP/IPDACT registration and configuration.

asynchronous console as well as the telephonic console. This password can be dependent on the
account number: assuming the account number is represented through UVWXYZ, you can use these
to generate passwords using the serial number digits. In the example, if the account number is 01234
(X = 2, Y = 3 and Z = 4), then the password is 1223400B4.

To return to the default configuration for this parameter, use the following command:
ARLY-1 Cfg>NO CFG-PATTERN n RECEIVER-PASSWORD password
i) CFG-PATTERN n KEEP-ALIVE-TIMER
Configures the time interval used by the MIP to check connectivity with the VisorALARM. Each time
this timer times out, a keep-alive frame is sent to notify the VisorALARM that the connection is active
and waits for its response.
Normally the keep-alive interval in the alarms panel is high as this implies a telephone call, however,
in the case of the mIP/IPDACT, this cost is not as such as this is dealing with traffic which in all
likeliness is running over a flat rate connection. In addition a high value is not advisable in cases
where the mIP/IPDACT goes out to Internet through a router executing NAT, a problematic situation.
This is because traffic coming from the ARC towards the NIP reaches this thanks to the router
maintaining the input in the NAT table active during a period of time, the input being refreshed with
supervision traffic. If the supervision interval is greater than the residence time for the input in the
NAT table, communications from the ARC will not be possible. In cases of the TELDAT devices, this
is around 5 minutes. A low value has the problem that the traffic the VisorALARM must process is
high, the same as the bandwidth requirements. If ARC Internet access is ADSL, you need to consider
that the upstream channel is smaller than the downstream one and that supervision traffic returned to
the mIP/IPDACTs is slighter greater than the incoming.
The incoming traffic to the ARC is:
NTC **528
−
mipsALIVEKEEP
The minimum supervision time can be 1 second and a VisorALARM can have 3000 mIP/IPDACTs
registered that give an input traffic of 1,58 Mbps. The return traffic is approximately 6% greater.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>CFG-PATTERN n KEEP-ALIVE-TIMER time
time
Time in seconds between keep-alive frames. Admits values between 0
and 90.

ARLY-1 Cfg>
To return to the default configuration for this parameter, use the following command:
ARLY-1 Cfg>NO CFG-PATTERN n KEEP-ALIVE-TIMER time
If you use a value of zero for the “keep-alive-timer parameter”, the mIP/IPDACT will
not send supervision trafic to the receiver and the VisorALARM will not be able to
access the device for remote configuration.
j) CFG-PATTERN n KEEP-ALIVE-RETRIES
Configures the number of times the mIP/IPDACT will send a keep-alive frame without receiving a
response from the VisorALARM. If the mIP/IPDACT, on executing the connectivity test with the
VisorALARM, does not receive a response within the “time-between-send-keep-alive-retries”
seconds, the mIP/IPDACT repeats the process of transmitting the keep-alive frame. Should there be
no response within same time interval, the mIP/IPDACT repeats the process until the number of retries
configured in the register has been completed. The connection with the Teldat VisorALARM is
considered down once the number of configured retries in this register has been executed and
subsequently the control panel can access the telephone network.
Syntax:
ARLY-1 Cfg>CFG-PATTERN n KEEP-ALIVE-RETRIES num_times
num_times
Number of times that the keep-alive frames are sent when no response
is received. Admits values between 1 and 9.
