Alarm Cast Administrator: Device Overview

The Devices folder allows you to add and maintain all devices and device-related information such as device type and communication settings. Devices are the physical connections that the server will utilize to connect to the various service providers required. Devices must be configured before any service providers may be defined.

guide: Guideline: To facilitate high throughput via serial communications numerous similar devices may be pooled together. To accomplish this more than one device can have the same name. The resulting device pool can then operate in tandem.

Example

If two modems are entered under the name DIALOUT; this device is assigned to a provider, then the server can utilize both of the modems simultaneously to connect to the service provider and allow it to send pages concurrently to the provider.

When choosing a Device type, the type you choose will determine what Communications options display on this tab.

The following outlines the device options

Database using ODBC protocol

Direct connection (by serial cable)

Modem, ModemIP (a modem hosted on a TCP/IP sharing device)

TCP/IP for an Internet connection

Audio for text to speech output
